RAMALLAH, September 26, 2011 (WAFA) - Palestinian government spokesman, Ghassan Khatib, Monday denied Israeli finance minister’s allegations that the money which the Palestinian Authority gets from the Israeli government is part of Israeli financial aid to the PA, saying that this money is comprised of Palestinian tax revenues.
He considered the minister’s allegations as lies and deception.
Israeli Finance Minister Yuval Steinitz had previously threatened to cut off Israeli aid to the PA and to consider it a ‘hostile entity’ if it refuses the proposed solutions and refuses to recognize the Jewishness of the state of Israel.
