PA calls on EU to pressure Israel on tax money

Palestinian Authority (PA) cabinet leader Rami Hamdallah on Thursday called on the international community, particularly the European Union (EU), to pressure Israel to stop deducting funds from the tax revenues it collects on behalf of the PA, the Ma’an news agency reported.

Israel's security cabinet recently approved the freezing of 507,697,000 shekels ($140,350,300) from the tax money it collects on behalf of the PA over the PA’s payments to terrorists who carried out attacks against Israelis and their families.
