Finance Minister: Some nations pledge support to Palestine
The Palestinian Minister of Finance and Planning, Stefan Salama, emphasized that the Palestinian Authority is in need of exceptional international financial and political support due to the continued withholding of customs funds for the seventeenth month and the escalation of occupation and settler attacks. Although some countries have made new commitments to support Palestine, this is insufficient given the extraordinary circumstances currently facing the Palestinian economy. He pointed out that the government is struggling to secure employees' salaries, which require around 1.5 billion shekels monthly, but only about 800 to 850 million shekels are available, threatening the continuation of basic services. He called on the international community to pressure Israel to fulfill its commitments, with expectations of holding a meeting of Arab finance ministers to bolster Palestinian financial support.
