• 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.
