In a “frustrating” call over the weekend, US President Joe Biden told Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that his government’s decision to withhold Palestinian tax funds following Hamas’s shock onslaught on October 7 must be resolved, Axios reported late Thursday, citing US and Israeli officials and a “source with knowledge of the issue.”

One of the US officials told Axios the call between the two leaders on Saturday was one of the most difficult and “frustrating” so far since October 7 when Hamas launched its murderous attack on southern Israeli communities, killing 1,200 people and taking some 240 hostages of all ages.

The Biden administration has firmly backed Israel in its war on Hamas in Gaza, which it has vowed to destroy, but Washington has been pushing for Israel to scale back the high-intensity fighting in the Palestinian enclave amid the mounting death toll and international pressure for a ceasefire.

“The feeling was that the president is going out on a limb for Bibi [Netanyahu] every day and when Bibi needs to give something back and take some political risk he is unwilling to do it,” the US official said.

Israel collects monthly tax revenues on Ramallah’s behalf on imports and exports, and transfers those funds to the PA, but has increasingly held off on some of the funds over various issues, chiefly Ramallah’s payment of stipends to terror convicts and the families of slain terrorists. It has recently warned it will not allow the PA to transfer funds earmarked for services and salaries in the Gaza Strip, alleging the money could reach Hamas while Israel is at war with the terror group.
