But the details of the proposal, according to PA sources, show that this plan is just smoke and mirrors, and terrorists would continue to receive their payments.
The PA doesn't just pay prisoners and their families. It calls the payments "salaries" - everyone in Israeli prisons are automatically hired as "workers" and they continue to have their "jobs" after they are released. Jobs that they never have to actually do.
According to the report, the plan is that all prisoners aged 60 and over will be declared retired from the PA and receive benefits. Prisoners aged 60 and under will continue to receive a salary as officials in the Palestinian Authority.
Instead of being paid out of a special fund, they will be paid as any other employee or retiree of the PA. But the problem is that they are "hired" because they tried to kill Jews! This plan appears to make that scheme official.
The entire reason to oppose "pay for slay" is that it encourages Palestinians to attack Jews. There is nothing in this plan as reported that would stop that encouragement. It just ensures that all "employees" are treated equally, it doesn't address the fact that the resumes for those jobs are bullets and knives.
