Shtayyeh: Israel is wreaking economic and financial destruction on the Palestinian Authority. The Palestinian Authority has not received the tax money collected by Israel at border crossings with abroad since last October, amounting to $210 million per month.
This led to fluctuations in the disbursement of salaries to public employees and retirees since that date, which prompted the government to borrow from the local banking sector to pay the deficient wages. The West Bank today includes more than 700 military checkpoints, gates, etc., which has led to a decline in the pace of the economy.
