Court Freezes Transfer of NIS 100 Million to PA
(Jerusalem Post) - The Tel Aviv District Court has frozen NIS 100 million marked for transfer from the government to the Palestinian Authority in the wake of suits filed by a group of Israeli hotels against the PA and the Fatah organization. According to the suits, the PA has caused a drastic drop in tourism by encouraging terrorist attacks against Israelis. Hotel Association president Avi Ella said the hotels lost income of NIS 508m. in 2000, growing to NIS 2.5b. in 2001, and added that they are likely to lose income of NIS 3.5b. by the end of this year.
