Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich wants to stop the transfer of tax money to the Palestinian Authority - voila! news. The minister claims that the figures reported by the Ministry of Defense over the years are much lower than the funds that actually go through the PA.

The move appears to be an attempt to increase the amount of money that Israel will deduct from Palestinian tax money every month. A political official confirmed that the issue was discussed tonight in the cabinet. The office of the Minister of Defense has not yet given a response.
