Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Stoere has called on Israel to release the full tax transfer it is withholding from the Palestinian Authority (PA). Norway, as the chair of the international donor group to the Palestinian territories, emphasizes that the payment is critical for the welfare of the Palestinian population. Israel had previously decided to transfer tax revenue to the PA in the West Bank but withhold funds intended for Hamas-ruled Gaza. The PA has refused to accept a partial transfer and estimates that it spends about 30% of its budget in Gaza, including on essential services like medicine and social assistance programs. Stoere warns that withholding the money directly affects the welfare and health of the Palestinian population and could lead to a breakdown of the PA, benefiting extremist forces on the Palestinian side.
