In February, Palestinian Authority (PA) President Mahmoud Abbas decreed that he would end his government’s “pay-to-slay” program in which the PA transfers reward money to Palestinian terrorists and their families. The PA invited the Trump administration to come to the West Bank in June to verify firsthand the PA’s elimination of the program. It is now past June, but the United States still has an opportunity to ensure that pay-to-slay is eliminated once and for all, setting the Palestinian government on a path toward a sustainable peace with Israel.
