The Israeli government is considering a proposal to transfer clearance funds to the Palestinian Authority through a third party.
The Israeli newspaper "Haaretz" reported.
According to the newspaper, the proposal, presented by Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, requires that responsibility for disbursing tax revenues to the Palestinian Authority be handed over to the United States or Norway.
Smotrich opposes transferring Palestinian tax funds to the Palestinian Authority. Last January, he told the Israeli Broadcasting Corporation, Kan that he appreciated "the support of the United States and President Joe Biden very much".
Israeli officials recently stated that Tel Aviv would not allow the Palestinian Authority to transfer funds allocated for services and salaries in the Gaza Strip, claiming that the money could reach Hamas at a time when Israeli forces are waging a war on the Strip.
This crisis erupted when the Minister of Finance in Benjamin Netanyahu's government decided to deduct the funds allocated to the Gaza Strip from Palestinian tax revenues before sending them to the Authority.
The Authority, for its part, refused to receive these funds and returned them to Israel. This happened at the beginning of November and then at the beginning of December.
A US military-built pier off Gaza's coast is being temporarily removed after a part of the structure broke off, the Pentagon said, in the latest blow to efforts to deliver humanitarian aid to Palestinians.
South Korea has accused North Korea of sending a large number of balloons across the heavily fortified border between the countries to drop objects that included trash and excrement, calling the act base and dangerous.
The Biden administration said it was closely monitoring the probe into a deadly Israeli airstrike it called tragic, but that the recent deaths in Rafah didn't constitute a major ground operation there that crosses any US red lines.
Israel pounded Rafah with airstrikes and tank fire on Tuesday, pressing its offensive in Gaza's southern city despite international condemnation of an attack that sparked a blaze in a tent camp for the displaced, killing at least 45 people.
Around one million people have fled the Gazan city of Rafah in the past three weeks, the United Nations Palestinian refugee agency (UNRWA) said on Tuesday.

More than 2,000 people could be buried alive by a massive landslide in Papua New Guinea last week, the government said on Monday, as treacherous terrain and the difficulty of getting aid to the site raises the risk few survivors will be found.
