Palestinians say Arab states cutting aid

None

Arab states have cut financial aid to the Palestinian Authority (PA) so far this year, according to PA figures seen by Reuters, and the United Nations has warned of a looming Palestinian cash crisis.

 

"The Arabs are not paying. We urge them to meet their financial pledges," said Saleh Rafat, a member of the Palestine Liberation Organisation's executive committee and one of the few Palestinian officials willing to speak out on the matter. Arab government officials contacted by Reuters declined to comment on the issue. (Reuters)
