Defense sources: Cabinet to approve transfer of funds to PA

Defense establishment sources said that "the cabinet's decision on the transfer of funds to the Palestinians is not final. The Cabinet in fact decided not to decide. The issue will be revisited soon."

Defense officials and senior ministers estimated that the funds will eventually be transferred. "This money was meant to go to people who work against terrorism. Israel has no interest in the collapse of the Palestinian Authority," one source said. (Attila Somfalvi)
