‼️ The Palestinian Authority Declares Its Loyalty To The Death Machine, Again.

👉 PA Finance Minister Vows to Maintain “Pay for Slay” (Support Anti-Jewish Murder & Terrorism) Despite $15B Debt and Impending Collapse

✅ In a press conference held yesterday, February 12, 2026, in Ramallah, Palestinian Authority Minister of Finance and Planning Estephan Salameh stated that even though the government is currently $15.4 billion in debt and unable to pay full salaries, payments to the families of terrorists against Israel — “Pay for Slay (!)” — will continue.

Salameh said (in remarks not captured by the official summary):

“We are not abandoning any Palestinian, whether he is a prisoner, or a family member of a martyr or wounded. This is a national issue par excellence. Our commitments to all sectors of the Palestinian population are still valid and we will uphold them despite the financial and political pressure.”

🚨 Americans have been paying for this. Since the signing of the Oslo Accords in 1994, the United States has provided more than $5.2 billion in bilateral economic and security assistance to the Palestinians, and, since 1950, over $7 billion in humanitarian contributions to Palestinian refugees through UNRWA, bringing total U.S. assistance related to the Palestinians to more than $12 billion.

👮 In 2018, the USA passed the Taylor Force Act, which forbade direct American economic aid to the PA as long as these stipends continue.

💰Nevertheless, billions in indirect aid have flowed via USAID and humanitarian channels for Gaza reconstruction.

🤥 Last year, in 2025, there were noises about “reform” to appease Western donors. The idea was to move toward a needs-based welfare system only. But these remarks show that the PA’s commitment is to terrorism above all else.

Now, the PA’s central government remains insolvent because it refuses to dismantle the very infrastructure that triggers these international sanctions.

🎯 Over and over the Gazans could have had peace, prosperity and a two-state solution. Instead they chose to cannibalize their own population for the sake of genociding the Jews. And the reason is that their fundamental cultural belief is in the existence of “occupation” and the need to eliminate it through the total destruction of Israel, Israelis, and the Jewish people writ large.

🔚 A government based on killing, theft, torture, destruction and chaos is inherently an illegitimate one and must be stopped. The Gazans must be removed from their current leadership, and placed into a where they are not part of a terror culture or mafia.
