Netanyahu: Tax Revenue Money Has Been Transferred to the PA : "It Is Sitting in Their Bank Account"
(Times of Israel) Sam Sokol - Responding to claims that Israel is blocking the transfer of tax revenues it collects on behalf of the Palestinian Authority, preventing the payment of salaries to members of the PA security services, Prime Minister Netanyahu said Saturday night that much of the money had in fact been transferred to the PA: "It is sitting in their bank account." The PA has not withdrawn it, however, "because they insist that we give money to people in Gaza, and we don't want to give money to people who helped or could help Hamas in the murders it carried out or will carry out. So we don't give that money."
