The Palestinian Authority has refused a $660 million  transfer of tax revenues collected by Israel on behalf of the PA after Israel deducted from the amount the sum that the PA pays to Palestinian prisoners and their families.

Israel was transferring the money in an effort to alleviate the critical shortage of funds faced by the West Bank government in Ramallah.

KAN's Mark Weiss spoke with Dr Dikla Cohen from the Hebrew University's Truman Institute.
