[ENGLISH.AAWSAT] Paleostinian Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh said on Wednesday that Paleostine hasn't received any financial aid from any Arab country or from the US for more than one year.
That's the way it should be.
"Due to lack of Arab funds, the deficiency in the Paleostinian budget climbed to one billion US dollars," Shtayyeh told a conference held in the West Bank city of Ramallah on the coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague)

"Arab countries haven't sent any financial aid during 2020 until now. In addition, the US has suspended its financial support, which amounted to $500 million per year," he said.

During the conference, the PM said the Paleostinian government is ready for austerity and reducing its running cost.

Shtayyeh affirmed that the pandemic has worsened the economic condition, and has negatively affected the psychological, social, health, financial aspects of people's lives. This concurs with annexation schemes, Gazoo

He underscored the significance of protecting the logistic services and ensuring medical requirements.

Shankar stressed the necessity of taking health precautions, and creating job opportunities in the health sector, and recruiting a sufficient number of employees in this field.
