Foreign Policy

Israel punishes Palestinians with new economic sanctions as if the existing sanctions have worked so well.

"Israel will not transfer to the Palestinians the tax revenue it collects on behalf of the Palestinian Authority and said it would use the money to cover Palestinian debts to Israel.
Israel transfers about $100 million per month in tax revenue to the Palestinian Authority. Palestinian debts to Israel include $150 million to Israel’s electric company.
Israel has halted transfers before, as retribution for Palestinian actions, including President Mahmoud Abbas’ overture to the United Nations in 2012 that gave the Palestinians status as a non-member observer state."

This isn't about policy. It's punitive.
