European Union Commissioner Oliver Varhelyi said Monday the bloc is suspending all payments immediately to the Palestinians because of what he called the scale of terror and brutality during the attacks of Hamas against Israel.

It was not immediately clear what funds were included and excluded. Varhelyi said the measures include that all payments (be) immediately suspended. All projects put under review.
