EU Won't Give PA More Aid while They Refuse Israel-Collected Tax Funds
(Jerusalem Post) Lahav Harkov - The EU turned down requests from the PA for additional aid, as long as the Palestinians refuse to accept their own import tax funds collected by Israel. "No stopgap extra funding should be expected...if they do not accept their own money," an EU diplomat said on Wednesday. The PA will, however, continue to get the aid it usually receives from the EU. Israel has amassed over NIS 2.5 billion that the PA refuses to take.
