Martyrs’ families receiving double Pay-for-Slay allowances

Many Martyrs' families receive double Pay-for-Slay allowances, complained an employee of The PLO Families of the Martyrs and Wounded Institution. A propaganda video by the Palestinian National Economic Empowerment Institution (PNEEI) was posted this week in a Facebook group called the "Martyrs' and Wounded Families' Forum – Exchange of Information." PNEEI is responsible since November 2025 for the Palestinian Authority's welfare payments to the needy as well as salaries to imprisoned terrorists and families of dead terrorist Martyrs.

The video hailed PNEEI for its "transparency." However, aPLO Families of the Martyrs and Wounded Institution employee, whose name is Rana Alia, then responded in the group, rejecting the praise and fiercely criticizing the unfairness of the PA Pay-for-Slay payments. Alia explained that she knows of terrorist Martyrs' widows with four to five children who do not receive their 1,400 shekels per month, i.e., the standard PA reward to Martyrs' families. At the same time, she knows of many families in which the mother and father of an unmarried Martyr have been receiving 1,400 shekels each for a total of 2,800 shekels per month. Alia was livid about the injustice.

PLO Families of the Martyrs and Wounded Institution employee Rana Alia: "Some [PNEEI] transparency! When a Martyr's wife with 4 or 5 children who doesn't work and has no income has her allowance stopped, whereas a Martyr who is single or a minor who wasn't a breadwinner for his family has his father receiving 1,400 shekels and his mother receiving 1,400, while it is known that a Martyr who is unmarried is supposed to receive only 1,400 and not 2,800 – when the parents aren't separated and the father works in the private sector. And there are many more stories like this."

The post by the employee of the PLO Families of the Martyrs and Wounded Institutionclearly shows that the PA's Pay-for-Slay program continues even as it has stopped payments to some recipients and attempts to hide other payments through PNEEI.
