Finance Minister: Ongoing efforts to secure employee salaries
The article discusses the difficult financial situation faced by the Palestinian government. The Minister of Finance and Planning confirmed that the authorities need exceptional international support due to the ongoing detention of the tax revenues for the seventeenth month and the increasing violations by occupation forces and settlers. He explained that some countries have made new commitments to support Palestine, but these are not sufficient given the extraordinary phase the Palestinian economy is going through. There are calls for immediate measures to support the government and to reconstruct Gaza. Data indicates that the government is working monthly to secure part of the employees' salaries, as it needs approximately 1.5 billion shekels each month. Currently, only around 800 to 850 million shekels are available to cover salaries and essential services, highlighting the urgent need for strong international financial and political support to ensure the continuation of services and economic stability.
