Kerry Promises to Pressure Israel on Tax Revenue for Fatah Terrorists
US Secretary of State John Kerry told Palestinian Authority chairman Mahmoud Abbas that he would push Israel to transfer withheld tax revenue to [Fatah], according to foreign media sources.
After Abbas and the PA took unilateral steps at the International Criminal Court trying to get Israelis indicted for war crimes – in direct violation of the Oslo Accords, Israel responded by withholding the tax money from the PA.
The meeting between Abbas and Kerry happened over the weekend in Egypt’s Sharm El-Sheikh resort town during an investment conference.
The reports did not say if Kerry tried to put any pressure on the PA to honor their treaty obligations and step back from the ICC.
