Israel deducts $295 million from Gaza’s clearance funds. The Palestinian Minister of Finance said that the process of transferring clearing funds from Norway has not yet been completed.
Israel collects taxes on behalf of the Palestinian Authority for Palestinian imports on imported goods and calls them “clearance funds,” with a monthly average of $220 million. Since October 7, 2023, Israel has been waging a devastating war on the Gaza Strip, leaving tens of thousands of civilian casualties, most of them children and women.
