You mean we didn't do this already?
Looking ahead to possible Israeli economic sanctions, ['Palestinian Foreign Minister' Riad al-] Malki said Tuesday that at the Arab League session, Abbas would voice concern Israel might again withhold tax revenues it transfers to the Palestinian Authority.
Interim peace deals task Israel with collecting taxes and customs duties for the PA amounting to around $100 million a month, on goods imported into the Palestinian territories. Israel has previously frozen the payments during times of heightened security and diplomatic tensions.Now why didn't we think of that... along with cutting off their water and electricity at least until their debts to our utilities are paid.
And watch how fast the Arab League runs the other way if anyone actually expects them to put up any money....
