The outline of payments to the Palestinians through a "third country":
To the text of the outline that the cabinet ministers will approve today (Sunday), a statement from the legal adviser to the government will be added, stating that the legal significance of the outline will be examined after the approval of the cabinet.
Treasurer Bezalel Smotritz: "If there is anyone who thinks we will transfer a shekel to the Nazis in Ramallah so that they will transfer it to the Nazis in Gaza - he does not know where he lives"
The legal consultation has not yet reached a conclusion as to whether this is a full political agreement, which requires the approval of the plenary of the government and submission to the Knesset.
The other possibility is that it is a sort of one-off arrangement that does not require approval by the government and the Knesset committee.
Due to the delay in their position, the vote was postponed from Friday to today, after Netanyahu insisted on ending the dragging of feet.
The position of the legal advisor will therefore be accepted after the approval of the cabinet.
According to the ombudsman's decision, this means that there is a possibility that the precedent outline will also be brought to the Knesset for discussion.

The mechanism is designed to allow the Palestinian Authority to use the funds so that it does not collapse, and on the other hand to maintain the cabinet's decision not to transfer funds to Hamas mechanisms in Gaza.
According to the plan, the Authority's funds intended for Gaza will be deposited in Norway.
If there is a violation and the funds are transferred to Gaza - Israel will freeze the transfer of funds to the Palestinian Authority.
