The American administration is obstructing an option and proposal put forward by some European countries in order to address the dilemma of salaries for the cadres of the Palestinian National Authority, which has become a problem that interacts in the territories of the West Bank, noting that the European proposal referred to included that the Palestinian financial tax rights be deposited in coordination with the Israeli government in a new special account. A fund directly supervised by the World Bank.

 The proposal included securing the amounts for salaries and expenses of the Palestinian Authority in accordance with the Oslo Accords and pressuring Israel to carry out the clearing, but not transferring the funds at this stage and temporarily to the Palestinian Ministry of Finance directly, but rather transferring them to the benefit of a fund supervised directly within the Palestinian Ministry of Finance by the World Bank.

Meaning that the World Bank will manage expenditures until the Palestinian government proves its worth in financial transparency and reducing what Arabs and Americans call corruption of the Palestinian Authority.

The proposal is still under discussion, but the American administration is not enthusiastic about it and the Israeli Finance Minister completely rejects it.

 This happens while observers already link the expected collapse of the Palestinian Authority due to the lack of allocations for salaries and public expenses and Western proposals that attempt to preserve the structure of the Palestinian Authority as a reference.

 What is noteworthy is that the authority, for its part, does not press any papers to collect its financial rights.

 An informed source explained the US administration’s failure to support the European proposal on the basis that Washington wants to put pressure on Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas to force him to form a real government and considering that the government of Dr. Muhammad Mustafa is “unacceptable.”

 Washington talks about “measures that Abbas did not take” that are required in the path of “renewed authority free of corruption” until its financial problems with the Israeli Minister of Finance are addressed.

Former Jordanian Prime Minister Abdel Raouf Rawabdeh was the first to publicly reveal “Mustafa’s government does not cross the channels to Western countries” in a public lecture.

It seems that the American administration does not want to cooperate with the ministry of Dr. Muhammad Mustafa, and therefore the proposal, due to an implicit American veto on Mustafa’s government crossing, faces difficulties in American support.
