Israel's decision to hold about $89 million in tax revenue comes after news of a proposed unity government between Fatah and rival Palestinian faction Hamas. Palestinian leaders condemn the move as an act of 'piracy' and 'war.'Israel said Sunday that it was delaying the transfer of about $89 million in tax revenue belonging to the Palestinian Authority, the latest sign of souring relations in connection with a proposed unity government between rival Palestinian factions Fatah and Hamas.
