WIDOW OF TERRORIST WHO COMMITTED DEADLY JERUSALEM TRUCK-RAMMING ATTACK TO RECEIVE $760 LIFETIME MONTHLY ALLOWANCE FROM PA:

The widow of the terrorist who committed Sunday’s8 Jan. 2017, truck-ramming attack in Jerusalem, killing four Israeli soldiers and wounding another 15, will receive a lifetime monthly stipend as a reward for her husband’s "martyrdom for Allah,” a prominent research organization reported on 11 Jan. 2017. Fadi al-Qanbar’s widow, a resident of east Jerusalem, will receive a total of NIS 2,900 (approximately $760) each month, in accordance with Palestinian Authority law. All families of "martyrs” receive a base monthly payment of NIS 1,400 ($365). Widows of "martyrs” receive an additional NIS 400 ($104). NIS 200 ($52) is paid for each of their children; al-Qanbar has four. And Jerusalem residents, such as al-Qanbar, receive an extra NIS 300 ($78). In addition, within the next few months, al-Qanbar’s widow will receive a one-time grant of NIS 6,000 ($1,580).

In October 2016, USA Senators Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Dan Coats (R-IN) and Roy Blunt (R-MO) introduced the Taylor Force Act - named after the American military veteran who was stabbed to death in Tel Aviv in March 2016 by a Palestinian terrorist - which would cut off funding to the PA if it continues its policy of dispensing monetary rewards for terrorism. In an editorial the following month, the Wall Street Journal called on the incoming Trump administration to "send a powerful message” and back the bill, stating: "The truth is these payments are blood-soaked gifts from a Palestinian leadership still devoted more to destroying Israel than to building a Palestinian state.” This week’s truck-ramming attack - for which al-Qanbar’s family will receive a monetary award - was the most serious of the latest acts of violence against Israelis in the Palestinian terror wave that began in September 2015. Commonly known as the "lone-wolf” or "knife” intifada, it has been characterized by stabbings, car-rammings, Molotov-cocktail throwing and arson. (Algemeiner) Pray that the shameful practice of rewarding the families of terrorists who undertake to wound and murder innocent Israelis will brought to a halt and that Western governments that fund - with taxpayers money - the Palestinian Authority will cease to do so.
