Israel has announced that it will not transfer roughly $90 million in tax revenue it collected on behalf of the Palestinian authority until the PA could guarantee that none of the money would go to Hamas to purchase weapons which would be used to murder and maim Israelis, to rain death and destruction on the Jewish state. The chances of that happening have been raised because the Palestinian Authority and Hamas have 'reconciled' after years of bitter, violent internecine fighting and are in the process of forming a 'unity' government, although serious cracks have already appeared and it is by no means certain that the 'accord' will last very long.
