An-Najah News - According to an EU press release the European Union has  provided a contribution of €9 million to the July salaries of health and education workers.

the provided money is the pensions of more than 37,500 Palestinian civil servants in the West Bank which will enable the Palestinian Authority to pay Palestinian civil servants notwithstanding the difficult fiscal situation brought about by the COVID-19 crisis and recent political developments.

The EU has frontloaded its financial contribution to support the PA in ensuring the uninterrupted continuation of critical public services.

The Palestinian Authority is struggling to pay salaries and pensions and to maintain the delivery of public services to its people and the  fiscal situation is over-stretched and clearly unsustainable without the acceptance of transfers of the tax revenues collected by Israel. 

If no solution can be found the entire system may collapse. Instability or chaos are not in the interest of any side.
