Palestinian Minister Hamad:
Our government is confronting a deliberate policy of financial restrictions.
Israel continues to withhold Palestinian clearance revenues, funds that legally belong to our people, undermining our ability to pay salaries, sustain services, and maintain our institutions.
For the last 14 months, we have received nothing from our clearance revenues, and our civil employees have been paid in half for the last five years. Despite these pressures, our government continues to function and deliver.
