The Palestinian terrorists responsible for killing Eitam and Naama Henkin; Yosef, Elad and Chaya Salomon; Raziel Shevach; and Itamar Ben-Gal will each receive at least NIS 10 million ($2.77 million) by their 80th birthdays, statistics from the Defense Ministry show.
The numbers have been released ahead of a Knesset vote to cut payments to the Palestinian Authority until it stops paying terrorists.
Omar al-Abed, who was convicted of murdering three members of the Salomon family, has so far earned NIS 12,200, with a monthly salary of NIS 1,400 for the first three years. He is expected to reach a cumulative salary of NIS 12,604,000 by the age of 80.
Karem Lufti Fatahi Razek, who was convicted of the 2015 Henkin murders and was sentenced to two life sentences and another 30 years, has earned NIS 40,600 and is expected to receive a cumulative salary of NIS 11,232,000 by the age of 80.
Zaid Ziyad, who was also convicted over the Henkin murders and sentenced to life in prison, has earned NIS 40,600 and is expected to earn a cumulative wage of NIS 10,056,000 by age 80.
Asi Abed El-Hakim, who was charged with the murder of Rabbi Itamar Ben Gal and was arrested a month ago, has already earned NIS 1,400. If he is sentenced to life imprisonment, he is expected to earn NIS 12,604,800 by the time he’s 80.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
