Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich of the Religious Zionism party, and a member of Israel’s Diplomatic-Security Cabinet has issued a response to the United States’ request for Israel to transfer funds to the Palestinian Authority during the ongoing conflict with Hamas.

Expressing deep respect for the United States, Israel’s foremost ally, and President Biden, a staunch friend of the country, Smotrich emphasized Israel’s commitment to its self-determination. He firmly stated, “As long as I am Finance Minister, not a single shekel will be passed to the Nazis in Gaza. This stance is not extremist but rather reflects a commitment to preserving life and responding to the current situation.”

Last weekend, President Biden engaged in a challenging conversation with Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu regarding Israel’s decision to withhold a portion of the tax revenue designated for the Palestinian Authority. According to reports, this part of their call was one of the most difficult and “frustrating” exchanges Biden has had with Netanyahu since the commencement of the conflict in Gaza.

In a decision made last month, Israel’s Political-Security Cabinet opted to deduct funds intended for the Gaza Strip from the tax money collected on behalf of the Palestinian Authority. This deduction is in addition to the offset mandated by law, redirecting funds from terrorists and their families. The decision specifies that, after the deduction, Israel will transfer the remaining tax money to the Palestinian Authority during the course of the war.

  1. For the Muslim vote in the U.S., Biden would sell his mother and father. Did America feed its’ enemies after 9/11? Did
    they aid German and Japanese civilians during WWII? What a shame. And a bigger shame will be the vast majority of Jews who still vote Democrat.

    • No, but President Obama did go all over the middle East apologizing for the evils of white America. The Muslims did nothing wrong by murdering a few thousand white Americans. They had it coming. They deserved it, and a lot more.
