It should stop, but doesn't have to. They kill mostly Jews, an occasional West Point educated combat vet, but that's the exception.
President Trump did bring the issue up, and President Abbas told him the payments absolutely won't stop. So that's that. Sending US tax dollars will continue. Besides, SOS Tillerson's department recently concluded there's no way to know why palestinians commit murder. It could well be Israel's fault.
Not certain how much the killer will get. Since he survived, it's $400 a month up to 3 years imprisonment to $3,429 for 30 years. I believe that's bases on time served not sentence. Still at $400 a month when the average wage in the West Bank is 100 sheckels a day ($28) and Gaza 58 ($16), he's doing pretty well. Considering he has no expenses. Plus a cash grand, and compensation to the family.
