PA payments to prisoners, ‘martyr’ families now equal half its foreign aid
2017-08-01
[IsraelTimes] While it expects $693 million from donors, Ramallah’s 2017 budget allocates nearly $345 million for the contentious stipends
How fortunate that the PA has been cutting monetary transfers to Gaza on a variety of pretexts, leaving more for the important budget items.
The Paleostinian Authority’s 2017 budget for payments to inmates in Israeli prisons and so-called "families of deaders" is equal in sum to about half of the foreign aid Ramallah expects to receive this year, a recently published Israeli report shows.

According to the PA Finance Ministry’s 2017 budget, published on its website earlier in July, salaries to incarcerated and released Paleostinian prisoners, many of whom are convicted terrorists, will amount in 2017 to NIS 552 million ($153.4 million).
There's a lovely table at the link showing annual outlays under this budget item since 2013.

#7  Cut off all US funds to the Paleostinian Authority. That will save millions. Let them pound sand and poop.

#5  Let's shoot for 105% of the PA's budget!

Won't happen. The U.N. (and DNC) will insist we have to double our contribution - for the children of course.
