So what is the true situation?

The true situation is someone made a pinheaded comment while trying to refer to others as pinheads
The revenue in question Israel "provides" is actually Palestinian taxes so its Palestinian money not Israels.
Doctors and medical services are provided from a wide range of sources, though Israel is obliged to do so in zone C
Electrical power is both imported and domestic, though Israel is obliged to do so in zone C
Water? Israel controls over 3/4 of all water sources in the occupied west bank, so it generously supplies Palestinians with some of the Palestinians own water.
Borders? All zone C, thats how Israel is the one collecting the trade tax as it controls all borders.
Seaside? He must mean the Dead Sea as the West Bank is somewhat landlocked

But thats also zone C so also Israeli controlled.
So in a nutshell he managed to get just about everything in his post wrong, which is quite pinheaded isn't it.
Now I suppose they could cut back on their legal obligation to run the Palestinians services, after all their occupation does mean they have to run as an occpying power the 60+% of the west bank that is still under Israeli direct military and civil rule plus to a lesser extent the 20% that is under just military rule.
