The Palestinian Authority is still paying more than 20 million shekels a month in salaries to terrorists jailed in Israel, despite Mahmoud Abbas's explicit promise to the U.S. administration to end the practice. A new study found Israel has seized only about 15 percent of the roughly 50 million shekels covered by its confiscation orders. After banks closed some 35,000 terrorists' accounts, the PA moved the payments to special ATMs outside the banking system. The study urges seizing that cash and charging senior PA officials.
