🇮🇱 🇵🇸 ⚡️ — BREAKING: Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich confirmed the Finance Ministry has not transferred any Palestinian Authority tax revenues for the past year, citing the PA’s “actions against the State of Israel” and “support for incitement to terrorism.”

🔴 The withheld funds, which account for roughly 60% of the PA’s income, include tax revenues on goods entering Israel destined for the PA. Smotrich froze the remaining funds in November 2023, following the Hamas-led October 7 attack, and has continued the policy for about a year.

🔴 PA Prime Minister Mohammad Mustafa accused Israel of intensifying financial cuts, stating the lack of transfers has left the PA cash-strapped, unable to pay employees, and has “attempted to destroy the institutions of the State of Palestine.”
