Israel and the Tax

Israeli pays frozen tax

Israel is to give the Palestinians a final monthly payment of tax and customs revenues, frozen last week over Islamic militants Hamas' poll victory.
Israel suspended the funds because it regards Hamas as a terrorist group committed to the destruction of Israel.

But a minister said the cabinet decided to make the $45m (£26m) payment because Hamas was not yet in government.

The news came as an inquiry revealed Palestinian officials had stolen or wasted hundreds of millions of dollars.

I think Israel is naive if they think that Hamas is any more a terrorist organization than Fatwa was.
