- Answer
-
The Palestinian Authority (PA) makes payments to meet the living expenses of prisoners in Israeli jails at the request of the Israeli authorities. These payments are managed by an Israeli company. Separately, the PA makes social assistance payments to families of prisoners.
Israeli Deputy Foreign Minister Elkin raised the first issue with British officials in Tel Aviv on 28 May 2013 expressing concern as to whether payments are higher for prisoners serving longer sentences.
