Ramallah, West Bank : The Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad says Israeli officials have informed him that they have transferred millions of dollars in delayed tax revenues.
But Fayyad says the cash still has not come through. The money goes toward paying the salaries of around 150,000 Palestinian civil servants. They haven’t received their May wages yet, according to a report of Reuters.
Israel was meant to ship around $74 million dollars (¤47 million) last month. It collects the tax revenue on behalf of Palestinians in an agreement between both sides.
An Israeli treasury official blamed the delay on a technical glitch.
