PA agrees to transfer of funds from Israel through Norway, without Gaza sum
2024-01-23
[IsraelTimes] The Paleostinian Authority agrees to receive the tax money collected by Israel on its behalf, minus the sum earmarked for Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
A Paleostinian source tells Sky News Arabia that Ramallah has walked back its previous decision to reject a partial transfer of the funds collected on its behalf by Israel since November, when the government decided to deduct the amount that the PA has earmarked for Gaza to pay for services and salaries in the coastal enclave.

According to the agreement, made under heavy American pressure, Ramallah will receive the funds from Israel through a trust fund managed by Norway. Oslo will be barred from transferring the funds to the PA or to any other party without the express permission of Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich.

The Paleostinian source adds that the PA will still disburse payments to pensioners and needy families in Gaza that appear in the lists of its Ministry of Social Development, using funds earmarked for the West Bank.

Update from the Times of Israel at 2:35 p.m. ET: Never mind, the PA and Norway are still considering the proposal.
