Lack of work, tax revenue escalate occupied West Bank tensions
“It is an extremely difficult situation in the occupied West Bank. Most work permits for Palestinians have been cut off since October 7. So there is no work. There is no trade,” Al Jazeera’s Teresa Bo reports from Israeli occupied East Jerusalem.
“Israel is also withholding taxes that are supposed to be sent to the Palestinian Authority so there is literally no money.
“This is in addition to the ongoing violence such as the latest overnight Israeli raid in Tulkarem that killed three people,” Bo adds.
Israeli security officers are reportedly warning there is a risk of a “third intifada”.
