Israel slams Palestinian ‘deception scheme’ over claim it halted terror rewards program

Asher Fredman in Fox News on PA President Abbas’ Claim that Palestinian ‘Pay for Slay’ Payments have Stopped: Abbas’ announcement seems to be a ruse aimed at pulling the wool over President Trump’s eyes.

It appears that the terrorists and families of terrorists who received payments under the PA’s ‘Pay for Slay’ program will continue to receive the same payments, simply via a ‘foundation’ under the control of Abbas, rather than via a ministry under the control of Abbas.

It remains to be seen whether Abbas truly ends the Pay to Slay payments, as well as the virulent terror incitement and antisemitism in PA media, schools and summer camps.
