Israel to Transfer Palestinian Tax Funds to Norway Amid Ongoing Conflict

Palestinian Authority rejects deductions, while violence escalates in the West Bank.

Israel's cabinet has approved a plan to transfer Palestinian tax funds, which were previously bound for Gaza, to be held by Norway.
The Palestinian Authority (PA) has rejected any deductions from their financial rights, calling on the international community to force Israel to transfer all of their money.
Israel has the right to decide when the money will be transferred to the PA, and the United States and Norway support this decision.
Far-right Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir opposed the plan, expressing concerns that the money might still reach Gaza.
Violence in the West Bank has spiked since the start of the war, with at least 319 Palestinians killed by Israeli forces or settlers, according to UN figures.
