Source: Jerusalem Post
Palestinian Authority (PA) Chairman Mahmoud Abbas issued an order to restructure laws and regulations related to paying financial allocations to the families of Palestinians linked with terrorist activity, known as "pay for slay," on Monday, according to Palestinian Authority state media WAFA.
According to the statement, the computerized cash assistance program, along with its database and financial allocations, will be transferred from Ramallah's Social Development Ministry to the Palestinian National Institution for Economic Empowerment, WAFA stated.
The amendments will allow all families previously benefiting from the former laws, regulations, and legislations to be subject to the same eligibility criteria as other families enrolled in social protection and welfare programs, according to WAFA.
The Palestinian Institution for Economic Empowerment will now assume full authority over all social protection and welfare programs in Palestine. It will be responsible for providing assistance to all Palestinian families in need, without discrimination, WAFA added.
