The Times of Israel reports: The Palestinian Authority cut the salaries of 37 Hamas lawmakers as part of a series of measures to get the terror group to cede control of the Gaza Strip, Palestinian media reports said on Sunday.
The PA finance ministry informed MPs from Hamas’s Change and Reform bloc who are living in the West Bank that they would no longer receive their salaries, First Deputy Speaker of the Palestinian parliament Ahmed Bahar, told the news site Safa.
Bahar called the measure a “declaration of war” against the Palestinian Legislative council.
