The government has decided that tax revenue funds intended for the PA (Palestinian Authority) will be withheld in March as was the case in April. This has considerably increased pressure on PA leader Abu Mazen who accuses Israel of placing a stranglehold on the PA, one that may lead to him dissolving it entirely.
Israel’s move is prompted by threats released by Abu Mazen that in April 2015 he will file a lawsuit against Israel with the International Court of Justice in The Hague. In addition, Israel’s actions are the result of several unilateral moves taken by Abu Mazen, such as his application for membership in the UN.

Good for him. Close down the PA!
Does anyone have any idea what the nature of these tax revenues is?
I have no idea. They always talk about it, but I don’t know what it is.
Where is the money coming from? How did Israel get it? Why do they usually give it to the PA?
“stranglehold ” Excellent idea! Strangle everyone of them.
hold all taxes to pay their electric and water bills! 0nce its paid, take the bills out of the taxes each month. We don’t need to be giving the PA money so they can pay terrorists’ salaries!!
Can we use these funds to pay off thier debt to the Israel Electric Corp.?
