According to the Israeli Newspaper “Maariv”, 12.7 million NIS of the Palestinian Authority has been transferred to the bookings department of the Israeli Ministry of Finance, after taking financial bookings related to judicial files opened against the Palestinian Authority. The funds transferred will be distributed through the Israeli collection authority.

The decision came after the so-called Israeli "Central Court" ruled in favor of so-called "Arab Israelis" living in the West Bank, arrested by the Palestinian Authority on suspicion of spying for Israel. "They were detained without any authority to do so, and the mere deprivation of liberty of these detainees is a cause of harm," the ruling stated.

After a long and exhausting deliberation, the judge ruled almost a year ago that the Israeli court had the power to hear cases of detainees because of what it called "security crimes" against the Palestinian Authority. Affected "in accordance with the judicial decision." i24
