Political analyst Nour Odeh has said it is the twelfth time Israel has used its leverage of Palestinian tax revenue to punish or weaken the Palestinian Authority.
Speaking to Al Jazeera, Odeh said it is still unclear whether the PA would be willing to accept the transfer of tax via Norway because it would be humiliating to walk back on its pledge to not take the tax revenues with the deduction of Gaza’s share.
“All of this money, given that the economy is on its knees, given that the revenues have dropped dramatically since October will probably not be sufficient for the PA to continue to meet all its responsibilities,” she added.
