Israel to Use Frozen Palestinian Tax Funds to Offset PA Electricity Debt; New Palestinian City to Get Water Hook-Up
(Ha'aretz) Barak Ravid - The Israel Electric Corporation has agreed to stop cutting power to the Palestinian Authority in exchange for the Israeli government's promise to use some of the Palestinian tax revenues it has been withholding to partially defray the PA's debt, a senior Israeli official said Thursday. In addition, Prime Minister Netanyahu has approved a compromise stipulating that both the new Palestinian city of Rawabi and several neighborhoods in nearby settlements will be connected to the water system.
