Deputy Defense Minister Danny Danon on Wednesday called for the immediate cessation of transfers on all tax money collected by Israel for the Palestinian Authority (PA), in the wake of the Kassam rocket attack from Gaza earlier in the morning.
The rocket, which was fired by Gaza terrorists, exploded near a community by Highway 232 in the Eshkol Regional Council in the north-western Negev. No injuries or damage was reported from the attack.
"This is the result of the Palestinian unity government," declared Danon, referencing the government that was sworn in last Monday, and includes three ministers from Gaza that were backed by the Hamas terror group governing the area.
Danon demanded the complete cancellation of transfers of tax money to the PA following the attack. In late April, those tax transfers began to be partially sanctioned as a response to the Fatah-Hamas unity deal which torpedoed peace talks, and as a means to collect massive PA debts to Israel.
