Israel's finance minister, Bezalel Smotrich, has halted funds from being transferred to the Palestinian Authority (PA) this month. The decision comes amid financial difficulties caused by the ongoing war. Interior Minister Moshe Arbel intends to transfer NIS 200 million, which was tied up by Smotrich, to Arab localities. The freeze on funds is due to alleged support for Hamas by the PA.
