Palestinian Authority in dire straits as Israel's hold on West Bank deepens
AI Summary
The Palestinian Authority (PA) is facing a severe economic crisis in the West Bank, impacting its ability to provide basic services. This is happening as Israeli settler violence increases and Israel deepens its hold on the territory, restricting Palestinian movement and expanding settlements. Israel is withholding tax transfers owed to the PA due to disputes over school texts and stipends to families of those jailed or killed by Israel. The PA is now owed over $4 billion and can only pay partial salaries to public sector workers, leading to school closures and disruptions in education for over 600,000 children. These factors exacerbate the challenges faced by Palestinians, such as those in al-Mughayyir, who are losing access to their lands.
