Palestinian Authority Says It Will Restructure 'Pay for Slay' Program. Regional Experts Are Skeptical.

Palestinian Authority chairman Mahmoud Abbas has issued a decree to restructure the 'pay for slay' program, which provides payments to families of terrorists. However, experts are skeptical that the changes will truly end the program. The new structure will allow families to continue benefiting, but only if they meet financial need requirements. The move comes as the U.S. Supreme Court prepares to hear a case on whether American victims of Palestinian terrorism can sue the PA for damages. Critics argue that the changes are merely a rebranding of the program under a different department and oversight mechanism.
