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 first-hand the PA’s elimination of the program. It is now past June, but the U.S. still has an opportunity to ensure pay-to-slay is eliminated once and for all, setting the Palestinian government on a path towards a sustainable peace with Israel.
