The Palestinian Authority (PA) reportedly gave $3,350 to the family of Khalil Yusef Ali Jabarin, the 17-year-old Palestinian who stabbed to death Israeli activist Ari Fuld, 45, hours after the murder took place.
Avi Mayer, the assistant executive director of the American Jewish Committee (AJC), tweeted on Monday that Israeli media reported that $3,350 is the “initial payment” to the terrorist’s family:
Israeli media is reporting that the family of the Palestinian who stabbed American Israeli Ari Fuld to death yesterday has already received an initial payment of $3,350 from the Palestinian Authority; if he's given a life sentence, they will ultimately receive over $1.7 million.

According to the report on Israel's Channel 20, the payment took place mere hours after the murder, as Fuld—a married father of four—was being laid to rest. https://t.co/scqUKBaeme

According to the Jerusalem Post, Jabarin’s family is currently set to receive nearly $400 a month over the next three years.
The PA reportedly has given approximately $330 million to terrorists and their families in 2017 and 2018 under its “pay-to-slay” policy, the Post reported.
The United States and Israel recently have passed laws to cut funding to the PA to leverage the entity into ending the “pay-to-slay” policy.
Before collapsing, Fuld, who was a married father of four, was able to shoot Jabarin after the terrorist stabbed him. Thousands of people attended Fuld’s funeral.
