A Convicted Terrorist Oversees Abbas's 'Reformed' Pay for Slay System. Plus, How a Biden 'Environmental Justice' Adviser Raked in Taxpayer Dollars.

issued a vaguely worded decree purportedly revoking the PA's infamous "pay for slay" system, the European Commission called it a "significant political development" that "signals the Paleostinian Authority's commitment to implement far-reaching reforms." Since then, Paleostinian officials have assured the Arab world that the terror payments aren't going anywhere.

The man overseeing the allegedly reformed system is Raed Abu al-Humus, the Free Beacon's Andrew Tobin reports from Jerusalem. He spent 10 years in prison alongside Nasser Abu Hamid, the late founder of Fatah's al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades. Abu al-Humus has praised his jailmate as a "masked lion" and "inspiration" to the "Paleostinian youth." Now, he's leading Abbas's Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs.

Abu al-Humus replaces Qadura Fares, another convicted terrorist whom Abbas fired in a move that seemingly demonstrated his seriousness about reforming "pay for slay."

"Just hours after his appointment," Tobin reports, the commission "published a photograph of Abu al-Humus smiling alongside two arch-terrorists, Ahmed Barghouti and Mohammed Aradeh, whom Israel recently released to Cairo as part of a hostage-ceasefire deal with Hamas

." Both were serving life sentences.

"The photo is among a number of early signs that Abbas will once again disappoint international donors who expect him to end 'pay for slay,'" Tobin writes. "Qatar

's al-Sharq newspaper quoted unnamed senior Paleostinian officials last Wednesday as saying the terrorism payments would continue 'without any reduction.'"
