<p>The UK remains gravely concerned about the economic and humanitarian situation
in the Occupied Palestinian Territories, including the impacts of tax revenues to
the Palestinian Authority (PA) being withheld. We have repeatedly raised with the
Government of Israel our concerns about its decision to withhold tax revenues to the
PA, most recently on 17 December 2019. It is important Israel carries out the regular
monthly transfer of tax revenues it collects on behalf of the PA in line with its
international obligations. We expect economic and fiscal agreements between Israel
and the PA to continue to be fully implemented, including Israel's obligations under
the Oslo Accords and Paris Protocol.</p>
