Palestinian PM: Israel withholds $11B funds
Palestinian Prime Minister Muhammad Mustafa reported that Israel is holding approximately $11 billion of Palestinian funds, including $6 billion in tax revenues known as "withholding funds" and $5 billion in frozen banking assets, which adversely affects the Palestinian Authority's ability to pay salaries and financial commitments. He confirmed that these Israeli escalation measures are related to funding for the salaries of prisoners and martyrs and have expanded to include additional amounts considered support for Hamas, thereby deepening the Palestinian financial crisis. The European official called for supporting Palestinian institutions and intervening to halt Israeli policies that hinder the stability of the region.
