The radical leftwing Meretz party voted against the first reading of the Knesset bill which would deduct money from the funds transferred bu Israel to the Palestinian Authority based on how much money the PA transfers to terrorists and their families as part of the PA’s Pay for Slay program.

Israel collects various tax monies on behalf of the PA’s and then transfers that money to the Palestinian Authority.
