The Tel Aviv District Court on Sunday decided not to decide, deferring an appeal by Sderot residents who are seeking to stop paying national taxes.

The residents explained that they are more than willing to continue paying local tax, but they do not see why they should be compelled to continue paying taxes to the national government while living in a state of warfare.

The court ruled the issue was out of its jurisdiction and as such, did not rule on the mater.
