The Palestinians condemned the revoking of Malki’s permit, saying Israel should be the one being “punished for its violations against international law”. Israeli officials could not immediately be reached for confirmation. It also said Israel would further deduct revenue it typically transfers to the cash-strapped PA – a sum equal to the amount the authority paid last year to families of Palestinian prisoners and those killed in the conflict, including militants implicated in attacks against Israelis. The Palestinian leadership describes the payments as necessary social welfare, while Israel says the so-called Martyrs Fund incentivises violence. Israel’s withheld funds threaten to exacerbate the PA’s fiscal woes.
