160 new Palestinian terrorist millionaires – thanks to Pay-for-Slay

OCT 15, 2025, Palestinian Media Watch | Two days ago, Israel released 250 Palestinian terrorists, who had been serving at least one life sentence for murder, for the release of 20 Israeli hostages.

While in prison, the Palestinian Authority has paid the terrorists high monthly salaries, and now 160 new Palestinian terrorist millionaires are walking the streets.

In total, Palestinian Media Watch has calculated the PA paid these killers a total of at least 229,523,000 NIS, or close to at least 70 million dollars.

The Palestinian Authority ensures that it very much pays to slay.

The following charts have the names of all the freed terrorists and how much money the PA has paid them:

*The list does not include additional payments made to the terrorists for spouses or children under the Palestinian Authority's "pay-for-slay" law. Therefore, the amounts shown represent the minimum salaries each terrorist received, meaning the total sum is much higher.

Palestinian Authority Salaries to Terrorist Prisoners: 0–3 Years: 1,400 Shekels/Mo (~$371.89), 3–5 Years: 2,000 Shekels/Mo (~$531), 5–10 Years: 4,000 Shekels/Mo (~$1062), 10–15 Years: 6,000 Shekels/Mo (~$1593), 15–20 Years: 7,000 Shekels/Mo (~$1859), 20–25 Years: 8,000 Shekels/Mo (~$2125), 25–30 Years: 10,000 Shekels/Mo (~$2656), 30+ Years: 12,000 Shekels/Mo (~$3187); Additions: Per Wife: +300 Shekels/Mo, Per Child: +50 Shekels/Mo, Jerusalem Resident: +300 Shekels/Mo, Israel Resident: +500 Shekels/Mo; Conversion: 100 Shekels ≈ $26.56 (July 1, 2024).
