U.S. Opposes Israel's Freeze on Palestinian Tax Revenue
[AnNahar] opposes a move by Israel to freeze the transfer of tax revenues to the Paleostinian Authority in retaliation for its bid to join the  International Criminal Court... where Milosevich died of old age before being convicted ... "This step is one that raises tensions as others do," State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki ...a valley girl who woke up one morning and found she was spokeswoman for the U.S. Department of State... said.
 U.S. Secretary of State John F. I was in Vietnam, you knowKerry Former Senator-for-Life from Massachussetts, self-defined war hero, speaker of French, owner of a lucky hat,conqueror of Cambodia, and current Secretary of State... spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over the weekend and a U.S. team has been in touch with Paleostinian leaders. "What we are trying to avoid here is a back and forth tit-for-tat," Psaki said. After the Paleostinians won the upgraded UN rank of observer state in November 2012, Israel froze the tax monies and also announced plans for 3,000 homes in a highly sensitive area of the West Bank, as well as in annexed east Jerusalem, triggering a furious response from the international community. The latest freeze involves half a billion shekels in tax revenue, or about $127 million. Posted by: trailing wife 2015-01-07 |
