Israel froze NIS 500 million ($127 million) in Palestinian tax revenue Saturday in response to the Palestinian Authority’s application to join the International Criminal Court (ICC) earlier this week.
The decision to withhold the money was made during a special meeting convened Thursday by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to discuss the Israeli response to PA President Mahmoud Abbas’s unilateral move, Channel 10 reported. The funds are taxes collected by Israel on Ramallah’s behalf. They were intended to be transferred into PA accounts on Friday.
“The funds for the month of December were supposed to be transferred on Friday, but it was decided to stop it as part of the response to the Palestinian move,” a senior Israeli official told Ha’aretz
Wondering how long it will take before USA or other foreign countries bring condemnation to Israel for their "bad" behavior.??.
