Alaa Al-Din Al-Bazian, convicted of planning the murder of Zehava Ben-Ovadia, was released to secure the freedom of hostages held by Hamas.
The Palestinian Authority now gave him the rank of major general in order to pay him a top “salary.”
Naji Arar, another terrorist also released to secure the freedom of hostages, was now given rank of colonel so he can get a “salary.”
This is the Palestinian Authority’s policy of Pay-for-Slay. They finance terrorists, incentivizing the next perpetrator.
The PA has at times claimed to have suspended this policy of ensuring ongoing terror, to curry favor with western democracies nauseated by such behavior. Yet there’s always a workaround, an ongoing implementation of this policy of nurturing terror.
The Palestinian Authority is deeply embedded in a worldview founded on terrorism.

Prime Minister's Office Statement
The Israeli Prime Minister's Office, this afternoon (Wednesday, 24 December 2025):
The Hamas terror organization continues to violate the ceasefire and President Trump’s 20-point plan.
Their ongoing and continuing public refusal to disarm is an ongoing flagrant violation and again today their violent intentions and violations were confirmed by their detonation of an IED that wounded an IDF officer.
Hamas must be held to the agreement that they signed on, which includes removal from governance, demilitarization and de-radicalization.
Israel will respond accordingly.

Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar:
"Mahmoud Abbas admits that “loyalty” to the sacrifices of Palestinian "martyrs״, prisoners and wounded (all terrorists) and their families is a “national Palestinian commitment”.
He did so while continuing to lie about ending the PA's distorted policy of paying salaries to these despicable terrorists and their families.
Instead of ending all payments, he's disguising many of them as payments to pensioners and salaries of the PA Security Services.
The international community must hold the PA accountable for "Pay for Slay"!"

Christmas Statement by President Isaac Herzog:
"Wishing all our Christian sisters and brothers in Israel, the Middle East, and around the world a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from Jerusalem!
Ahead of the Christmas holiday, we visited our neighbors, the Franciscan Sisters, at the St. Antonio Convent in Jerusalem. We shared a prayer for peace and fraternity, and stood united against all forms of hatred and extremism.
I feel deep pride in Israel’s Christian communities, which are an integral part of our nation. The State of Israel will continue to protect the freedom of worship for people of all faiths and communities.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!"
