(Fathom-BICOM) Evan Gottesman - One simmering crisis in Israeli-Palestinian relations is the Palestinian Authority's continued refusal of partial tax transfers from Israel after it deducted for PA martyr payments. The EU suggested the PA dole out payments to prisoners and families based on their socio-economic status rather than the severity of the crimes they are jailed for (as the Martyrs Fund currently operates). The Palestinian Authority also rejected this proposal, which represents a serious misreading of Palestinian motivations. They are not simply welfare checks; rewarding armed resistance is exactly the point. This is widely popular in Palestinian society and is one of the few things the PA can put before their homegrown detractors as concrete evidence that they are not just collaborators. The writer is Associate Director of Policy and Communications at the Israel Policy Forum. 2019-05-22 00:00:00Full Article
