Under Oslo’s terms, still in place, Israel collects tax on behalf of the Palestinians and theoretically makes monthly transfers to the PA - pending the approval of Israel’s finance ministry.

Israel has stopped transferring Palestinian tax revenues it collects to Oslo to punish Norway for recognising Palestine.

“Norway was the first to unilaterally recognise a Palestinian state today, so it cannot be a partner in anything related to Judea and Samaria (the occupied West Bank). I intend to stop transferring funds to Norway and demand the return of all funds that were transferred,” stated Smotrich.

    So it’s not actually to the Norwegian government. The trust account for the Palestinian Authority is just located in Norway. That makes a lot more sense.
