During April–September, resources available to fund the government’s recurrent expenditures fell sharply, as an unprecedented drop in tax revenues—largely because Israel stopped transferring indirect taxes it collects on the Palestinian Authority’s behalf—was only partially offset by an increase in external support.

Government workers on average received payments equivalent to only about 40 percent of their normal incomes. As a result, little was left for ministries’ running costs and social transfers.<\/i><\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
