Israel expects a protest from the Palestinian Authority over the move

Israel's political and security cabinet on Sunday approved the deduction of approximately $176 million from the tax money that Israel collects for the Palestinian Authority.

For several years, Israel has removed hundreds of millions in funds from the Palestinian Authority tax income in response to payments to the families of prisoners and terrorists by Ramallah. 

According to a Defense Ministry report, the Palestinian Authority transferred $182.82 million in "indirect support for terrorism in 2020," the prime minister's office said.
