Only the hopelessly naive or those who are agenda-driven could have any confidence that the Palestinian “resistance” is anything but a jihad against Israel.

Pay-for-slay has never stopped, amid manipulation and lies to deceive the world into thinking that it did. Now it’s expanding, as the forces of jihad double down against Israel in response to the crushing blow Israel dealt to Hamas, Hizballah and the Islamic Republic of Iran (with help from the U.S. in attacks on the regime’s nuclear sites).

“Palestinian Authority notifies terrorists to register to receive Pay-for-Slay,” by Ephraim D. Tepler and Itamar Marcus, Palestinian Media Watch, February 11, 2026:

On January 28, 2026, the PLO Commission of Prisoners’ Affairs published lists of released prisoners who needed to take action before receiving their salaries. These released prisoners fell into two categories—prisoners released some time ago and prisoners recently released in the 2025 hostage deals.

Prisoners who were released some time ago had to prove that they were still alive so that they could continue receiving salaries. This confirms what Palestinian Media Watch has reported that released prisoners receive a salary for life because all they had to do to get payment was to not be dead.

Prisoners who were recently released needed to provide bank information so that they could begin receiving their salaries directly instead of through a trustee.

This notice reveals even more about Pay-for-Slay. Not only is the program not ending, as the Palestinian Authority has falsely claimed, but it is being expanded. Requiring long-released prisoners to complete a “proof of life” check underscores that these terror salaries are intended to continue for life, with bureaucratic safeguards designed to prevent “interruptions,” not to end the payments. At the same time, demanding bank details from newly released prisoners shows the PA is verifying eligibility and moving recipients into a direct payroll pipeline…
