Israel to Free Funds for Palestinian Health Workers
(Reuters) Israel is prepared to release Palestinian tax revenues into a proposed aid mechanism being set up by Middle East mediators to avert the collapse of the Palestinian health sector and to pay some salaries, an Israeli official said Thursday. The official said the money transferred by Israel would be given to specific Palestinian hospitals and clinics, and could then be used to pay salaries to doctors, nurses, and other health workers. An independent auditor would ensure that the money is not diverted to the Hamas-led government or Hamas officials.
