In response to Palestine's request at the UN General Assembly for an advisory opinion from the International Court of Justice (ICJ), on the legality of the Israeli occupation, the Israeli security cabinet ordered the transfer of roughly $39 million from Palestinian Authority tax funds to the so-called "Israeli victims of terrorism" on Friday.

The welfare payments given by the Palestinian government to Palestinians detained in Israeli jails and the families of Palestinians slain by Israeli occupation forces in 2022 were also ordered to be offset by the Israeli Ministerial Committee.

In addition, Palestinian building initiatives in the majority of the West Bank that is occupied by Israel were prohibited, according to WAFA.

"The Israeli occupation’s measures violate international law, and come in response to the State of Palestine’s natural and legal right to get rid of the decades-long occupation," Al-Maliki told the official Voice of Palestine radio.

"In a letter to foreign ministries around the world, we will call for a clear position on these measures so that the occupying power will realise that it is not fully free to act as it pleases," he added.

He explained that work is underway to build international public opinion against the occupying regime by exposing its crimes before the countries of the world.
