Arab League transfers $50 million to Paleos
2006-07-05
CAIRO - The Arab League has transfered 50 million dollars to the cash-strapped Palestinian territories, League Secretary General Amr Mussa said on Tuesday. “Fifty million dollars have been transfered to the Palestinian Authority in full coordination with the Palestinian government,” said Mussa.
Which means at least one Paleo bank will make the US Treasury's poop-list real soon.
He was speaking at a joint press conference with Nabil Shaath, an envoy representing Palestinian President Mahmud Abbas. Saudi Arabia for its part also provided 50 million dollars to the Palestinians on the West Bank and Gaza Strip, Shaath said at the leagueÂ’s headquarters in Cairo.

The funds, which were transfered to the account of the Palestinian presidency, are “the first Arab payments to reach the territories since the Israeli siege,” said Shaath adding that the Arab League had already sent 15 million dollars to Palestinian refugees in Lebanon and to employees and diplomats in Palestinian embassies.
