A study by the Jerusalem Center for Security and Foreign Affairs found the Palestinian Authority continues to pay over 20 million shekels monthly to terrorists imprisoned in Israel, despite pledges to end the practice. The PA uses methods like dedicated ATMs to bypass Israeli confiscation orders, of which only 15% have been recovered from a total of 50 million shekels ordered seized. The study recommends increased enforcement, legal action against PA officials, and international sanctions.
