PALESTINIAN TAX TRANSFERS TO BE CUT AFTER TERRORIST MURDERS OF TWO ISRAELIS:
Posted onIsrael intends to reduce monthly transfers of tax collected on behalf of the Palestinians in what aides to PM Netanyahu described as a response to the killing of two Israelis in Palestinian terrorist attacks last week. The amount deducted from about $130 million sent to the Palestinian Authority each month will be equal to stipends it pays terrorists in Israeli prisons and the families of jailed or slain terrorists. "Incitement and payouts to terrorists and their relatives constitute an incentive to murder," government sources said. Terrorists killed an Israeli and wounded three others in an attack on a family car on 1 July 2016. The previous day a Palestinian stabbed a 13-year-old girl to death while she was sleeping. (J.Post)
