U.N. appeals to the world to fund the Palestinian Authority's "Pay for Slay" policy

"The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UNOCHA) and the Palestinian Authority (PA) issued a joint statement in which they launched a US$350 million appeal to 'address critical humanitarian needs of Palestinians.' In the appeal, they called 'upon the international donors' community to help us in securing the requested funds for 2019 in order to maintain the humanitarian interventions.'...

Significantly, the sum that the UN and the PA are asking the international community to donate - $350 million dollars - is equivalent to the $355 million dollars the PA allocated in its 2018 budget to fund its payments rewarding terror. This includes payments to terrorist prisoners, released terrorist prisoners, and to the families of the so-called 'Martyrs' which includes terrorists killed while carrying out attacks, including suicide bombers.

Instead of the UN asking donor countries to contribute $350 million to provide for Palestinian humanitarian needs, the UN should be joining the unequivocal call from many governments that the PA immediately stop squandering the $355 million dollars of its own funds on its 'Pay for Slay' policy that incentivizes and rewards terrorism, and instead spend that money on needy Palestinians..."
