Olmert Meets Abbas, Israel to Release $100 Million to PA
[Ha'aretz] Aluf Benn and Avi Issacharoff - Prime Minister Ehud Olmert met with PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas on Saturday and said Israel would allow the transfer of $100 million in frozen Palestinian tax money to the PA to meet humanitarian needs. Israel is to transfer the funds directly to Abbas' office and not to the Hamas-led government. Olmert also told Abbas Israel would have difficulty continuing to show restraint if Kassam rocket fire on Israel continued.
