Abbas Wants a Humanitarian Crisis
(Mida) Judith Bergman - PA President Abbas is willing to create a humanitarian crisis in the West Bank as long as it encourages the murder of Jews. Israel decided to deduct money from taxes that Israel collects on behalf of the PA in order to implement a law to freeze funds used to pay Arab terrorists and their families. The sum comprises 5% of the PA's revenues. Abbas responded by announcing that the PA will refuse to receive any of the taxes collected by Israel - an average $187 million a month. The move is cynically aiming at creating a financial crisis in the PA which could lead to a humanitarian crisis. The PA has already announced pay cuts for its civil servants, while salaries to terrorists and their families will be paid in full. The PA also announced that it will no longer permit its citizens to travel for medical treatment in Israel. In 2015, over 20,000 Palestinians received medical treatment in Israeli hospitals.
