OCCUPIED PALESTINE, Dec. 29 (YPA) – Israel’s far-right finance minister, Bezalel Smotrich, has vowed that no money will reach the Gaza Strip, which has been under brutal aggression since October.
“We respect the United States and its president, but we will never leave our fate in the hands of foreigners,” Smotrich said on Friday, adding: “Not a single shekel will go to terrorists in Gaza as long as I remain in office.”
Last October, Smotrich decided to suspend the transfer of all tax money after the Palestinian resistance’s Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, but the Israeli government said it would transfer all the money except those it says goes to Gaza, which is run by Hamas.
However, the Palestinian Authority refused to accept any partial transfer of funds.
