A lawsuit has been filed against President Joe Biden and Secretary of State Antony Blinken in response to claims that the present administration gave the Palestinian Authority more than $500 million in cash that was not authorized.
Due in part to its “Pay to Slay” scheme, which offers money prizes for the death of Israelis, payments to a terrorist-funding group caused controversy and led to legal action.
In its information sheet, EMET emphasized the issue of “Pay to Slay,” which is still present. This initiative raises severe worries about national security since it encourages people or organizations to carry out heinous crimes in order to profit financially.

Pay for Slay payments were up 8% of the Palestinian Authority’s budget in 2016, or an astounding $315 million. This resulted for an astounding total expenditure of 4.4 billion dollars.
Due to its clear violation of US law, as outlined in the Taylor Act, which is named after fallen veteran Taylor Force who was killed at the hands of Israel, the recent payment of half a billion dollars by the Biden and Blinken administration to the Palestinian Authority has been met with great outrage. Government financing for groups that continue their “Pay to Slay” scheme is forbidden under this provision, making this transaction a violation of U.S. law.
This blatant illegality serves as the foundation for the complaint, which claims: “[T]he defendants took power on January 20, 2021, with a new plan: Transfer hundreds of millions of dollars from U.S. taxpayers to the Palestinian Authority despite Pay to Slay and contrary to the Taylor Force Act. Contrary to law, they have transferred nearly half a billion American taxpayer dollars to directly benefit and subsidize the Palestinian Authority.”
The late Taylor Force’s father, Stewart Force, spoke out to the Daily Caller News Foundation about the legal actions brought after his son’s untimely death.
“Our role in the lawsuit is as it was in our efforts to enact the original Taylor Force Act – to put a human face on the horrific effects of the Palestinian Authority’s Pay for Slay policy. Multiply the devastating loss of our beloved son Taylor by the hundreds of Israeli families that have also been impacted by this inhumane atrocity of Pay for Slay and you will understand why we are committed to ending the flow of US dollars to the PA.”
