The PA’s ‘Pay For Slay’ Program Showcases The Palestinians Perpetual Hatred For God’s Chosen People: Are terrorists released from Israeli prisons coming home to millions courtesy of the Palestinian Authority? The Jewish News Syndicate (JNS) highlighted a recent report from Palestinian Media Watch, which “posted a list of all 734 terrorists scheduled for release from Israeli prisons in the first phase of the hostages-for-ceasefire agreement with Hamas, together with their ‘salaries’—the dollar amounts each terrorist received from the Palestinian Authority’s so-called Martyrs’ Fund while incarcerated.” “In total,” JNS underscored, “the terrorists received $141,837,087, or more than half a billion shekels. Of those, 316, or nearly half, received more than a million shekels.” Itamar Marcus, the founder and director of Palestinian Media Watch, told JNS that this report “signals to Palestinians that these terrorists weren’t working in a vacuum, but were acting in the name of the P.A.” He further explained that “the wealth places the terrorists in an honored position in Palestinian society, in fact, Palestinian terrorists are the most honored people in Palestinian society.” “In another society, if a criminal goes to jail for murdering someone, he’s ashamed about it,” Marcus explained. “In the Palestinian Authority, they go around with a crown on their heads.” JNS further reported that the decree by the Palestinian Authority on Monday “that it has restructured its terrorist payment program has been widely misrepresented as signaling the end of its pay-for-slay program.” Marcus underscored that the PA has no intention of ending its ‘Pay For Slay’ program: “The full news states that the salaries of the martyrs and printers have not and will not be affected, as all families that previously benefited from the law, regulations and systems will continue to be subject to the same standards.” “Translation: the P.A. continues to fund and reward terrorism,” he warned. Let me reiterate: “Palestinian terrorists are the most honored people in Palestinian Society.” Yet, this is who the world is forcing Israel to make peace with. That’s not only wrong, it’s downright disgusting and evil. Saudi Arabia will host an Arab summit on President Donald Trump's plan for the US to take control of Gaza, according to a source close to the Saudi government. The leaders of Egypt, Jordan, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates are expected to attend the summit on February 20, a week before a meeting in the Arab League in Cairo on February 27 on the same theme. According to another source, the President of the Palestinian Authority (PA), Mahmoud Abbas, will also attend the meeting. Trump's proposal for the US to take over Gaza and for over two million Palestinians to be forced to move from there has met with fierce international resistance. https://swedenherald.com/article/source-new-top-meeting-on-trumps-gaza-plan Amir Tsarfati, Feb 17: [One hour] Amir Tsarfati, Feb. 18: Israel is bracing for a very tough week as 4 bodies of dead hostages will be handed over on Thursday. So, why is Hamas, which just last Monday threatened to cancel the hostage exchange, now suddenly eager to accelerate the process and push forward with the final phase of the ceasefire deal? I see real pressure on Hamas. They don’t care about the people of Gaza, but beyond Al Jazeera’s “victory” footage and Hamas’s power displays, the reality is that northern Gaza is unlivable. Hamas desperately needs the temporary housing units to enter the Strip. There’s significant criticism and outrage toward Hamas within Gaza, but it rarely makes the headlines. Israel, using intelligence information, located this route and threatened Lebanon that its main airport would be bombed. In response, Lebanon banned the landing of Iranian planes, which led to riots by Hezbollah members outside the airport and attacks on UNIFIL personnel. But Shiite Iran has found a surprising ally: Sunni Erdogan, who has placed the airport in Istanbul at its disposal. Now, the crates of dollars are landing in Turkey, and from there they are flown via alternative routes to Lebanon. Iran is trying to operate smuggling routes through additional countries, some of which Israel is managing to thwart through intelligence activity and intensive diplomatic activity by Foreign Minister Saar and Foreign Ministry officials. Despite this, estimates are that tens of millions of dollars have already reached Hezbollah through the Turkish route....

CAN YOU SPOT THE CHANGE?
What’s unique about this time around , is that this time, the names of the hostages were declared by Khalil al-Hayya rather than by Hamas’s military wing or Abu Ubaida.
Khalil Al Haya stated he is willing to give back all the 59 remaining hostages in one day.
This exposes a weakness we’ve always known but often ignored: the key to Hamas’s downfall lies in the hands of the Gazan population.

This is how Turkey is helping Iran finance and rehabilitate Hezbollah.
Since the victorious blow that the IDF struck against the Shiite terrorist organization, Iran has been wasting no time in trying to transfer hundreds of millions of dollars in cash to Hezbollah. The smuggling route was based on planes from the Iranian company Mahan Air, which took off from Iran and landed at Beirut airport.

Let's stop saying "Hamas."
Shiri Bibas and her children were taken hostage by Palestinian civilians on October 7—not Hamas operatives! Civilians!!! After those same civilians murdered Shiri's parents and even killed their dog. She was last seen in Gaza, barefoot, wading through the streets while holding her 9-month-old baby, Kfir, and her 4-year-old son, Ariel—surrounded by Palestinian civilians.
70% of the Palestinians who entered Israel on October 7 were civilians. They murdered, raped, looted, and burned lives... Let's not perpetuate the absolute lie that all of this was "Hamas." Hamas is just the tip of the iceberg.
This image must remain with each and every one of you… until the end of time.
