Haniyeh vows to pay 40,000 salaries, doesn't elaborate on how

By The Associated Press

Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh said Tuesday that the Hamas-led government will pay the salaries of tens of thousands of public workers, but did not say where the money would come from.

The salaries of 165,000 government workers are three months overdue...

this is about the 12th time, in the past month that some PA guy has promised to pay salaries...its probably an F5 macro by now
