Despite Unprecedented Income, Palestinian Authority Still Begs for Charity

The Palestinian Authority is a corrupt and anti-Semitic terrorist organization. They use the billions of dollars in aid that they receive from the West to fund terrorism and hatred against Israel. Today, the leaders of the Palestinian Authority live in luxury, while much of the population under their control live in poverty. Western governments must stop flooding this terrorist organization with the hard earned tax dollars of it’s citizens.

Despite Unprecedented Income, PA Still Begs for Charity

The PA’s net income has doubled over the last decade. Where’s the money going?

By Maurice Hirsch, Palestinian Media Watch

Financial reports released by the Palestinian Authority show that the the PA’s income during the first 10 months of 2021, was the highest ever.

Curiously, this fact was entirely absent from the report released by the World Bank in preparation for the meeting of the Ad-Hoc Liaison Committee for Palestine – an international meeting during which the PA cries about its financial woes and begs the international community to donate more and more funds.

According to the PA’s financial report, the PA net income for the first 10 months of 2021 totaled 11,391,800,000 shekels. This reflected a rise of 1.798 billion shekels in comparison to 2019 and over 3 billion shekels in comparison with 2020. Over the last decade, the PA net income has gradually doubled.

Following the meeting, which took place on November 17th in Oslo, Norway, PA Prime Minister Mahmoud Shtayyeh updated his cabinet expressing hope in what was termed as the PA’s “financial crisis.”

The rise in PA revenue was not the only detail missing from the World Bank report. Other clearly missing details included the fact that the PA spends hundreds of millions of shekels every year paying financial rewards to terrorists and the fact that in the last decade the PA has transferred over 8 billion shekels to the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO).

Part of the money transferred has been used to fund internationally designated terror organizations, such as the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), that are still members of the PLO. Another part of the funds transferred, appears to have facilitated the purchase of a considerable PLO owned international real estate portfolio.

The PA publishes monthly financial reports as part of its commitment to financial transparency, and as a prerequisite for receiving some international aid. Instead of focusing merely on the alleged budget deficit as a reason to throw money at the PA, the international donors would be well advised to first take a closer look at where the PA is spending its money.
