The amount will be deducted from the tax money that Israel collects for the Palestinian Authority following the payment to the families of the terrorists
The government approved today to deduct 600 million shekels from the tax money that Israel collects for the Palestinian Authority. For several years, Israel has been offsetting hundreds of millions of the PA's disposal funds against the background of the payment to the families of prisoners and terrorists.
During the debate, Health Minister Nitzan Horowitz of Meretz abstained from voting, but according to sources familiar with the matter, he opposes the move.
Israel is expecting a protest from the Palestinian Authority following the move, which has sparked violent protests in recent years.
