From now on, Israeli security forces will confiscate cash and other assets belonging to imprisoned terrorists and the families of deceased terrorists, that had been provided to them by the Palestinian Authority. It’s a policy that is long overdue. More on the move by Defense Minister Israel Katz can be found here: “Katz imposes sanctions on security prisoners who receive PA funding,” Jerusalem Post, February
Defense Minister Israel Katz imposed sanctions on Tuesday on security prisoners and their families who are citizens and residents of Israel and receive funding from the Palestinian Authority (PA).
According to the ministry’s statement, following the sanctions, security forces raided the homes of those subjected to the order, confiscating cash and assets amounting to hundreds of thousands of shekels.
The terror funds that were ordered to be liquidated were paid by the PA to terrorists who are currently serving sentences in Israeli prisons and released prisoners and their families for terror activities they committed, the ministry said.
In addition to the sanction, the ministry stated Israel had frozen NIS 470,000,000 from allotted funding to the PA, which is set to be allocated for the compensation of victims of terror.
“No more rewards for terrorism” Katz says
“We will not allow the Palestinian Authority to continue rewarding terrorists for murdering and harming Israeli citizens,” Katz said….
Even if the PA distributes funds to terrorists and their families as it has been doing, those funds will now be seized by Israel from their recipients and distributed to Israelis who were killed or wounded by terrorists, or to the families of the deceased. No longer will Israel be limited to deducing from the taxes to be transferred to the PA the amount Mahmoud Abbas spends on “Pay-For-Slay.” Now it can seize the cash and other assets, and provide those assets to Israelis harmed by Palestinian terrorists,, and there is nothing the PA can do about it, except to rage impotently.
This should have happened years ago. Did no one in the Israeli government think about doing this before? Or did it take the October 7 atrocities, and the 16-month war in Gaza that followed, to concentrate wonderfully the minds of Israeli leaders on the limitless malignity of the Palestinians? Whatever the case, it’s most welcome: seizing the cash from their terror-linked recipients and using that money to make life less onerous for the Israeli victims of Palestinian terrorism.

That is wonderful. I am so happy that this is a way to help the victims or families deal with their tragedy.

Yeah, long overdue policy, which should have been implemented by every Israeli government, regardless of party, and regardless of what it thought the borders of Israel should be

This jihad watch article reveals that “The terror funds that were ordered to be liquidated were paid by the PA to terrorists who are currently serving sentences in Israeli prisons and released prisoners and their families for terror activities they committed, the ministry said.
In addition, to the sanction, the ministry stated Israel had frozen NIS 470,000,000 from allotted funding to the PA, which is set to be allocated for the compensation of victims of terror.”
That is the right thing do to, nevertheless the tragic reality is that no amount of money can actually compensate for the misery suffering and death caused by the operatives of the PA.
Likewise the diabolical brother of Hamas should have its money sized by the Israel Defense Force and have funds transferred , in compensation of victims of Hamas starting on October 7th 2013 and onward terror.
Nevertheless no about of money can actually compensate for the misery suffering and death caused by Muslim terrorists of Hamas.
For example, those infants and children who had been viciously murdered , by the Muslims terrorists of Hamas ,some of them had even been deliberately burned to death by the Muslim terrorists of Hamas.
Those brutal cruel vicious malicious and murders jihad entity, Hamas, as its stooges who are its Muslim terrorists are absolutely and completely pure evil.
Furthermore, it’s very obvious that those Muslims monsters of Hamas as well as that jihad terror/murder entity .Hamas, are truly demonic.

Gut so. Israel sollte endlich Gaza annektieren, die islam-faschistische Bevölkerung verjagen und Gaza zu einem Landesteil von Israel machen. Judäa und Samaria gehören auch zum Kernland Israels, wo islamische Terroristen kein Recht haben zu siedeln und zu leben. Wo sich diese Mischpoke letztendlich hinbegeben wird, interessiert nicht. Hauptsache, diese Mörder/Innen machen sich vom Acker.
Juden müssen immer noch aus ihren Heimatländern flüchten, da sie den ständig anwachsenden Bedrohungen und Belästigungen schutzlos ausgeliefert sind. Ist alles bei Wiki nachzulesen, wie viele Juden zum Beispiel aus Frankreich in den letzen Jahrzehnten ausgewandert sind. Es gibt eine Korrelation zwischen muslimischer Masseneinwanderung und Vertreibung der jüdischen Community.

Most of the Muslim terrorist money comes from America and the European Union. The West has been funding Muslim terrorism against Israel and Christians around the world.
Non-Muslims CANNOT have peace with Islam and its Muslims because Islam and its murderous god, Allah, demand a continuous Muslim war, a religious duty, against unbelievers where Non-Muslims are CRIMINALS under Islam due to UNBELIEF and BLASPHEMY against Allah when Allah in Qur’an 8:39 says, “And engage in war with them[Non-Muslims] until there will not be sedition and the religion will be completely to Allah…” HENCE, NON-MUSLIMS MUST MAKE ISLAM, ITS MOSQUES, ITS SCHOOLS, ITS ORGANIZATIONS, ETC. ILLEGAL UNDER THE LAW. Similarly, Islam and its many Organizations must be identified and publicly declared to be MUSLIM TERRORIST ORGANIZATIONS(MTO) for their funding, teaching, and support of terrorism, violence, and discrimination against Non-Muslims(eg. Quran 3:151; 9:5,29,111 and more).
