Palestine denounces Israeli court decision to freeze funds
The Palestinian government has condemned an Israeli court decision to freeze new funds from the Palestinian Authority.
Mohammed Abu al-Rub, director of the Palestinian Government Communication Centre, said freezing additional Palestinian funds is a new attempt to target Palestinian state institutions further.
He said it was also to compel them to stop fulfilling their commitments to the people.
Mr Abu al-Rub emphasised that the official Palestinian position is clear in rejecting the Israeli “extortion.”
He added that Israel is enforcing a severe financial blockade by cutting over half of the monthly clearance revenues, which is the main source of the Palestinian public finances.
According to Israel’s local media, the Central Court in Jerusalem ordered the freezing of 410 million Israeli shekels ($109 million) from the Palestinian Authority’s funds.
