Frozen tax revenues Israel recently released for the Palestinian Authority have been rejected by President Mahmoud Abbas. Abbas announced Sunday that he ordered them returned because money had been deducted for debts to Israeli utility companies. Israel had withheld roughly $130 million a month in tax and custom revenues after Palestinians announced they were joining the International Criminal Court. Last week Israel announced it would resume the transfers, and immediately pay $400 million.
