While donor countries continue sending hundreds of millions in aid for Palestinian Authority salaries, they might want to ask a simple question: What are you paying for?

\n\n

In a staggering admission on official PA TV, a Palestinian economic expert revealed the existence of an entirely useless financial sinkhole:

Economic expert Muayyad Afaneh: "We have about 17,000 [PA] Security [Forces] employees in the Gaza Strip, and 20,000 civil employees. They are still receiving salaries from the PA, and there are many services in the Gaza Strip that the PA is spending money on."

\n\n

Could you imagine that there are 17,000 PA Security Forces members in Gaza, where Hamas—not the PA—has ruled with an iron fist since 2007?

\n\n

To be clear, these PA Security Forces have no authority and no involvement in Gazan policing. Hamas does not allow them to operate. They are a ghost payroll. Yet month after month, the PA sends them salaries funded by international aid.

\n\n

This financial farce is made worse by the fact that Israel has already made it clear that these forces must not have any post-war role in Gaza. So, what exactly is the PA paying for?

\n\n

Worse still, the economic expert on PA TV explained that PA employees in Gaza receive salaries equal to their counterparts in actual PA-controlled areas, despite doing nothing.

\n\n

\n
"Currently the PA is paying twice to the Gaza Strip. The first time is the money being held [by Israel], and the second time, it is still obligated to pay the allocations to the Gaza Strip [it does] to the West Bank, meaning the same salary rate a [PA] employee in the West Bank receives, an employee in the Gaza Strip receives."

\n\n

This is a slap in the face to American and European taxpayers who genuinely believe they are contributing to peace, governance, and development.

\n\n

The Palestinian Authority's lack of respect for donor money is systemic. From glorifying terrorists with salaries and promotions to financing people not to work, the PA treats foreign aid like a bottomless ATM with no accountability.

\n\n

It's time donors ask: Why are you paying salaries to people who protect nothing and serve no one?

Palestinian Authority officials are masters at using euphemisms or code words to hide their terror promotion from the international community.

\n\n

Just recently, Fatah leader Jibril Rajoub, speaking at the opening of the first national youth conference, said that Mahmoud Abbas himself supports "resistance in all its forms" until there's a Palestinian state. And if a state is established, then Palestinians support "popular resistance without blood," presumably because they have even more demands. Fatah's euphemism for terror is "resistance in all its forms."

\n\n

\n
Fatah Central Committee Secretary Jibril Rajoub: "National unity must be based on the adoption of UN resolutions by all of us, which grant us a state and also resistance in all its forms (i.e., including terror). I tell you as a Fatah member, resistance in all its forms is still on the agenda of this [Fatah] movement... Let no one think that we are surrendering. I tell you that the first among us who believes this is [PA President] Mahmoud Abbas, and I re-emphasize this in his name. We all know the nature and essence of Fatah. I hope the world will agree to the establishment of a Palestinian state according to the existing concepts and terms…. Either popular resistance without blood, in a case in which there will be a state, or else resistance in all its forms that will thwart what is liable to put an end to the idea of the state or bury our history, our heritage, or our goals and principles for which and on whose basis we launched this great revolution…
\n\n
[Fatah Central Committee Secretary Jibril Rajoub, Facebook page, Jan. 19, 2026]
\n

\n\n

Rajoub's remarks are just the latest in an endless procession of terror promotion made across the PA leadership.

\n\n

PLO Executive Committee member Azzam Al-Ahmad stated that he supports "armed struggle" to serve the Palestinian "political cause." Hamada Farana, who is a member of the Palestinian National Council, which is the PLO's legislative body, promoted "armed struggle" and "popular intifada" as means and tools.

\n\n

Meanwhile, the Fatah-associated terror arm Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades recently recommitted itself to the principle of "resistance in all its forms (i.e., including terror), foremost among them the armed struggle."

\n\n

The term "resistance in all its forms" and "armed struggle" are ‎used by PA leaders to include using all types of violence, including deadly terror ‎against Israeli civilians such as stabbings and shootings as well as throwing rocks and Molotov cocktails.

Palestinians on Facebook:

\n\n

\n\t
Like 9/11, the Mossad did it
\n\t
\n\t
Like the Holocaust, when Jews "burned [Jews]… and accused Hitler"
\n\t
\n\t
Jews "sacrifice a few pigs of their own to flip the scales"
\n\t
\n\t
Mossad did it to pressure the Australian government to change its politics
\n\t
\n\t
Mossad did it so Jews will run away to Palestine (i.e., Israel)
\n\t
\n\t
Mossad did it… to prevent "reverse migration" of Jews from Palestine (i.e., Israel)
\n\t
\n\t
The Jews "want the world's sympathy. They are the ones who commit these tricks"
\n\t

\n\n

The Facebook page Ramallah News posted a news item about the terror attack in Sydney. The post drew over 1,000 comments, overwhelmingly from Palestinians. Remarkably, over 30% of the posts claimed that Israel itself was behind the attack. Some compared it to their conspiracy libel of the Mossad being behind 9/11. Some said it was like the Holocaust in which Jews "burned them[selves]… and [instead] accused Hitler." Some said it was to encourage Jews to move to Israel while yet others said it was to make Jews afraid to leave Israel.

\n\n

The following are 50 of those comments:

\n\n

Ahmed Al-Jazzar | They started killing their own people to show that they are oppressed and everyone just wants to kill them.
Zakeya Yones | It's like the Holocaust, just as they took the elderly, the sick, and the disabled in trucks, burned them, got rid of them, and accused Hitler of killing them, to appeal to the world... And it was a lie, and they were exposed.
Khouloud Hajjar | They are the ones who created terrorism, and they sacrifice a few pigs of their own to flip the scales, but certainly, and Allah willing, every oppressor has a day darker than darkness.
Maysa Mushainish | Definitely orchestrated by the Mossad, like the New York towers.
Abu Hajer Abu Hajer | They [Israelis] want the world's sympathy. They are the ones who commit these tricks.
Aqab Al-Deera | …. For your information, this is the work of the Zionist Mossad, exactly like the events of the American towers [9/11].
Khawlã Khalaf | An expected move from them to gain sympathy anew.
Rahim Moumen | The Australian government took a firm stance against the entity during the genocide operation in Gaza. This is certainly the work of the Mossad to pressure the Australian government to change its position toward the entity.
Alaa Fadel | Perhaps the Zionists and the Mossad did it, or facilitated the task, or planned it, to prevent the reverse migration of Jews from Palestine abroad. Even if the perpetrator was Arab or Muslim.
Mohamed Sufian Al Khatib | It is clear that the Jews instigated it, exactly like the events of September 11... The goal is to erase the past and justify what is coming!!
Nawal Aried | It is definitely orchestrated by them to gain the world's sympathy, and they are known for easily killing their own people and creating fabricated drama.
Aldajani Ashraf | You'll find it's from within them, so that the Jews come to Palestine. These movies are old.
Jawhar Al Chehabi | This operation aims to bring Israel out of its isolation and restore sympathy towards it. A vile method signed by the Mossad.
Abu Amjad | I would not rule out that it was orchestrated by the Mossad to restore the world's sympathy and support for the (Israeli) entity.
Malak Al-Samaa | Fifty years from now, documents will emerge indicating that this incident was orchestrated by the Israeli Mossad.
Ahmad Smadi | These acts are orchestrated by Israel to garner international sympathy for the entity.
Huda Siam Zetawi | It's definitely planned to divert the compass from people's sympathy towards the Palestinians.
Ali Hamed | This is the work of the Mossad because they have expertise in such matters, and so that people sympathize with them.
Moulay Abdellah Idrissi | This is the work of the Mossad and Netanyahu to play the Australia card.
Salam Tawalbeh | It is from within them, so the world will sympathize with them after they revealed their true nature.
Sahar Dudeen | This is the act of the Zionists.
Yaser Suleiman | People, this is an old movie… This act is only part of their current plan within the Mossad and their intelligence agencies to restore the image of misery and weakness and attract the world's sympathy. Beware of falling into the trap and supporting such crimes that they commit with their dirty hands!!!
Mohammad Omari | Most likely from the Mossad, from within their own ranks.
Suha Hashem Odeh | The work of the Zionist Mossad is old-fashioned. It's their same scenario from 70 years ago to gain sympathy and spread hatred for Muslims and divert attention from their crimes. The same stupidity.
Turki Al-Tamimi | Don't rule out the Mossad being behind it to bring sympathy to the Zionists after the events in Gaza and claiming victimhood.
Muatasem Muatasem | Certainly the Jews are behind it to restore global sympathy for the entity.
Hassan Lubbad | These acts are seemingly acceptable but fundamentally rejected because they divert attention from the tragedy of Gaza and the catastrophe of its people and what is happening in Palestine, and focus it on Jewish victims. We do not rule out intelligence agencies being behind these acts...!!
Ra Na | Mossad movies to regain sympathy for the entity because the Australian people were among the biggest supporters of Palestine.
Hashim Omran | The entity does not care about the lives of these people because they left their alleged land, so I do not rule out that this act was planned by the Mossad to gain the world's sympathy.
Hassen Kioua | A Zionist intelligence operation to try to change the world's view of Israel.
Golden Shore | Orchestrated by the Zionist Mossad.
Boumedienne Ali | A play directed by the Mossad, aiming to distract the world's sympathy from the people of Gaza and bring the anti-Semitism narrative back to the forefront.
Al-Rasheed bin Abdullah Morak | The Mossad is up to its tricks. After the world hated them, they returned to the victim play.
Zaidan Hamamra | Acts by Jews to prove their victimhood.
Saber Agrebi | And the Mossad is watching, as usual, reviving its old movies, but the world now knows them all.
Em Kamal | We will not sympathize with them because they definitely orchestrated the whole operation, just like the previous one.
Zainab Hijazi | This incident was orchestrated by the Israeli Mossad for sympathy toward them.
A. Bashar Mansour | The Zionists killed them to regain the world's sympathy that they had lost.
Alaa Al-Din | This crime was committed by the Israeli Mossad to gain the world's sympathy.
Suleiman Sharm Burm | Directed by the Mossad.
Hammza Ebraheem | It's all foolishness. They are the ones who fabricated it.
Eyad Mohammad | Israel is the one who killed them.
Khamlawi Khamlawi | After the whole world hated them, they play the game of the poor people to regain their prestige in front of the world. This is the idea of the Mossad and the Zionists.

Eng-mohammed Youssef | Mossad planning... The Zionists have now begun operations to restore the image of victimhood and try to win international sympathy again to fight extremism and Antisemitism.

Abu Amjad | I would not rule out that it was orchestrated by the Mossad to restore the world's sympathy and support for the entity.
Ahmad Smadi | These acts are orchestrated by Israel to garner international sympathy for the entity.
Huda Siam Zetawi | It's definitely planned to divert the compass from people's sympathy towards the Palestinians.
