A new report reveals that the Palestinian Authority will distribute $315 million in 2026 to over 23,000 individuals convicted of terrorism and their families, despite previous claims that the controversial payment program had ended. The Palestinian Authority is accused of concealing these payments by routing them through various government agencies, including security forces, civil services, and pension offices, making it difficult for international donors to track the funds. Investigations found that thousands of former inmates and families of those killed or injured in attacks are receiving monthly stipends, with significant sums also sent to Palestinian communities in neighboring countries. The findings have prompted renewed criticism from international donors and officials, who warn that the Palestinian Authority's actions could jeopardize its role in future governance and reconstruction efforts in Gaza.
