Gaza gummint workers get month's wages |
2006-06-06 |
![]() The move by the Bank of Palestine to pay wages to 10,300 of the lowest-paid employees in the Palestinian Authority came after militant groups warned that local banks refusing to help their people would be branded a "tool" of Israel. Thousands of government workers who have not been paid in three months flocked to withdraw money. Some kissed their money or the bank's automated teller machines. |

#5 I bet the Airport "Workers" were first in line. I guess the threats by Hamas were taken serously, but i got to wonder how long the Bank can continue when they are goint to get their funds frozen. |
