E.U. urges Israel payout

The European Union urged Israel to release withheld tax revenues to the Palestinian Authority. “It would be important that the Israelis pay out what is actually Palestinian money — the customs duties,” European Commission official Benita Ferrero-Waldner told Austria’s Der Standard newspaper Monday.

The newspaper noted that, despite January’s election win by Hamas, the Palestinian Authority still is under an interim government.
