Quartet envoy Tony Blair on Wednesday praised the government's " important decision" to release a hold Palestinian Authority tax revenues.
"This is Palestinian money which is critical to sustaining the PA and should be transferred on a regular and predictable basis in line with previous Israeli-Palestinian agreements. Withholding these funds only benefits those who oppose peace and Israeli-Palestinian cooperation," Blair said in a statement."I have discussed the importance of a smooth transfer of revenues with Prime Minister [Binyamin] Netanyahu and other ministers in the Israeli government on many occasions, as have others in the international community, and have urged him repeatedly to transfer these funds without delay.
