Israel will strongly condemn the detention part of Palestine's taxes on behalf of Palestine

Xinhua News Agency, Jerusalem, July 31 (Reporter Lu Yingxu Wang Zhuolun) The Israeli government decided on July 31 that about 600 million Shakel (about 176 million US dollars) will be detained from the taxes for Palestine. This approach was strongly condemned by Pakistan.

According to Israeli media reports, the government held a cabinet meeting on the same day and decided to deduct about 600 million Shakel from the taxes levied by Palestine to punish Palestine in 2021 to Palestine prisoners in prisons. The tax will be deducted from the monthly taxes collected in 2023.

The Israeli left -wing party chairman of the Melalez party Nizan Hollowz opposed the decision. He said that since Israel is interested in continuing to maintain safety and civil cooperation with Pakistan, this approach is not wise.

Palestinian Presidential Palace spokesman Abu Rudina strongly condemned the decision to the party. He said that the decision was irresponsible and violated international law, which was tantamount to "theft". The international community should put pressure on the side and demand that it would stop such "provocative measures".

According to the "Paris Economic Protocol" signed by Pakistani in 1994, Israel is responsible for imposing tariffs on items transported to Palestine, and levying personal income tax on the Palestinians who work in Israel, and regularly transfer the tax to Pakistan. This amount is about $ 2.3 billion per year, accounting for about two -thirds of the Palestinian government's operating budget. The suspension of tax collection to Pakistan is Israel's "punishment" measures often used by Pakistan.
