The Ministry of Finance said that Israel continues its unfair monthly deductions from the Palestinian Authority’s tax revenues, exceeding 100 million shekels, and the withholding of more than 2 billion shekels, which the ministry has not stopped calling for its immediate release.
The ministry in a statement denied Israeli media reports that the Palestinian Authority received 500 million shekels in a loan from the Israeli government, stating that this amount which was transferred three months ago is only part of the funds withheld by Israel until all the amount is recovered.
The ministry said it will continue under the directives of the Palestinian leadership and government to demand that Israel stop its unfair deductions from the Palestinian clearing funds, in violation of international laws and bilateral agreements, as well as to recover everything Israel is withholding.
