RAMALLAH, May 13 (Xinhua) -- Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammed Ishtaye on Monday called on the EU and the World Bank to delegate a team to check Israel's deduction of Palestinian tax revenues.

"Most of the deductions of our tax revenues are unfair, all of which are unaudited and performed without any transparency," Ishtaye said during the weekly meeting of his cabinet in the West Bank city of Ramallah.

The Israeli deduction is "illegal and its purpose is to condemn our children in the Israeli occupation prisons," he added.

Israeli reports said Israel transferred 660 million Israeli new shekels (184.6 million U.S. dollars) to the Palestinian Authority to prevent its economic collapse. However, the Palestinian Authority refused to receive the transfer.

The Palestinian Authority announced that it will never receive partial tax revenues and demanded payment of full taxes Israel collects on the Palestinian behalf.

The monthly tax revenues the Palestinian Authority receives from Israel represent half of its treasure, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Finance.

Israel decided to cut around 42 million Israeli shekels from the tax revenues, saying the money goes to families of those imprisoned in Israeli jails or killed in the conflict with Israel.

"Israel violates the international law and the signed peace agreements by carrying out all its military actions in the Jordan Valley and imposing restrictions on the Palestinians in Jerusalem," said Ishtaye.
