Israel to withhold millions of dollars in Palestinian funds

Israel shrinks tax payments to Palestinian Authority equivalent to stipends paid to families of Palestinian attackers.
Israel says it will withhold $138m in tax transfers to the Palestinian Authority (PA) over payments given to  Palestinians involved in attacks against Israelis.
 
The government's security cabinet said on Sunday it was implementing a law passed last year allowing Israel to withhold funds equivalent to those the PA pays in stipends to Palestinians jailed in Israel, their families, and released prisoners.
