Cut aid to the Palestinian Authority until they stop paying terrorists’ families

Closed 455 signatures

What the petition asks

In 2017, nearly £280 million was paid out, some of it as stipends to convicted terrorists and their families. Families of individuals killed by Israeli security forces have been paid about $1,000 per month. The families of convicted Palestinians in Israeli prisons can receive $3,000+ per month.
The UK will provide up to £38 million to the Palestinian Authority in economic aid over the next five years. These payments have to be stopped unless the Palestinian Authority gets rid of their shameful policy. The British Government should also pass legislation similar to the USA's Taylor Force Act.
