It starts (it's about time): 'Palestinian Authority' travel privileges revoked, funds transfers may be stopped
The 'Palestinian' daily al-Hayat is reporting that Israel has revoked the travel privileges of 'Palestinian Authority officials' and has barred members of the 'unity government' from traveling between the 'West Bank' and Gaza. It's about time.Senior Palestinian Arab officials told the daily that Israel has decided to cancel the VIP cards allowing entry into Israel for all PA officials except PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas, as backlash for Monday's official declaration of the Hamas-Fatah "unity" government. The decision prevents top-ranking Palestinian Arab officials from moving back and forth between Gaza and Ramallah.
"Israel is also reviewing stopping tax revenues from being transferred to senior [PA] officials," the official said. The amount is close to 100 million dollars per month, the official said - about 1/3 of the revenues paid to the PA total.They should have revoked Abu Bluff's VIP card too. As to the money, the Obama-Kerry administration will make up for that.
What could go wrong?
