Overview

  • Norway announces it will transfer tax funds to the Palestinian Authority, previously frozen due to a dispute with Israel.
  • The funds are crucial for the PA to pay salaries and provide essential services in the West Bank.
  • Israel had reduced transfers following Hamas' attack on October 7, aiming to exclude funds spent on Gaza.
  • The agreement aims to prevent the collapse of the Palestinian Authority and promote a political process towards a two-state solution.
  • Critics argue the deal reflects collusion with Israel's far-right government, undermining efforts to compel Israel to fulfill its treaty obligations.
