Israel looks to pay for Gaza kite fire damages with PA funds

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu looks to pay for the damages caused by Gaza’s firebomb-laden kites and balloons with Palestinian funds.

In a statement Sunday, the Prime Minister’s Office says Netanyahu has tasked National Security Adviser Meir Ben-Shabbat to begin the process of reducing the tax funds handed to the Palestinian Authority by the amount required to compensate Israelis living near the Gaza border for damages caused by fires started by Gazan kites.
