Arab League unable to transfer funds to Palestinians
RAMALLAH, West Bank (AFP) - The Arab League has told the
<http://search.news.yahoo.com/search/news/?p=Palestinian+Authority>Palestinian
Authority it is unable to transfer tens of millions of dollars in aid which
have been collected for people in the
<http://search.news.yahoo.com/search/news/?p=West+Bank>West Bank and
<http://search.news.yahoo.com/search/news/?p=Gaza+Strip>Gaza Strip.
The league's secretary general "Amr Mussa called (Palestinian Authority
president) Mahmud Abbas today and informed him that the league is not in a
position to transfer the money offered by the Arab countries," Hanna Amireh
-- a member of the Palestine Liberation Organisation executive committee --
told AFP on Thursday.
"This is due to the refusal of the banks to transfer the money as a result
of American and international pressure."
The league has gathered 70 million dollars from Qatar and Saudi Arabia to
alleviate the plight of residents of the Palestinian territories where
government employees have not been paid for the last two months.
However banks have been unwilling to transfer the money, wary of falling
foul of international laws that prohibit the financing of terrorist
organisations.
The United States and
<http://search.news.yahoo.com/search/news/?p=European+Union>European Union,
which both consider the governing Palestinian faction Hamas a terrorist
organisation, cut off direct aid payments over the movement's failure to
renounce violence and recognise
<http://search.news.yahoo.com/search/news/?p=Israel>Israel's right to exist.
Israel has compounded Palestinians' economic woes by refusing to turn over
millions of dollars in tax revenues it collects for the Palestinian
Authority, worth around 60 million dollars a month.
