Gaza Rebuilding Funds in Question
Israel has withheld $5 billion in taxes due to the Palestinian Authority's prisoner-payment system.
The Board of Peace, launched in 2026, oversees a $70 billion rebuilding effort for Gaza.
U.S. and Israel argue the prisoner-payment system incentivizes violence, while Palestinians view it as welfare.
No formal request has been made to Israel, with officials evaluating a proposal to fund a U.S.-backed transitional government.
Repurposing funds without Palestinian Authority input risks further undermining the Western-backed administration.
