"Biden Administration Under Fire for Allegedly Supporting Palestinian 'Pay for Slay' Scheme in Hamas Deal"

The Biden administration is being accused of indirectly aiding Palestinian terrorists through its funding of the Palestinian Authority (PA). Experts claim that the PA, which pays salaries to imprisoned terrorists and the families of martyrs, relies on American and European funding to cover these payments. The release of convicted Palestinian terrorists in a recent swap with Hamas has raised concerns that some of them may return to terrorism. Critics argue that the PA's "pay for slay" program encourages terrorism, and efforts to crack down on Hamas financing have become a priority following a recent massacre. Congress previously passed the Taylor Force Act to cut economic aid to the PA until it ends its payment policy. The Biden administration has not yet responded to the accusations.
