Jerusalem, June 2 (IANS) Israel's cabinet has decided in an emergency meeting to withhold tax transfers to the Palestinian Authority as means of sanctions over the new Palestinian unity government. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu convened with top members of the cabinet, including eight ministers late Sunday, in order to discuss ways to deal with the new government to be formed by Fatah and Hamas, Xinhua reported Monday. The cabinet members decided to keep suspending any further negotiations with the Palestinians as long as Hamas, viewed by Israel and the US as a terror organisation which vowed in the past to destruct Israel, is part of the government, and to hold off on transferring tax money it is collecting for the Palestinian Authority.
