WorldPalestinian Authority financial crisis leaves no budget for ‘essential services’

Joost Hiltermann of the International Crisis Group describes the Palestinian Authority’s financial crisis as an ongoing erosion of its institutions and economy, rather than a looming emergency. The PA has lost much of its ability to fully pay public-sector salaries, maintain infrastructure and sustain education and healthcare, while settlement expansion, settler violence, Israeli restrictions and financial measures threaten Palestinian institutions and economic life.
