It isn’t news that the Palestinian Authority (PA) is in a deep crisis, and much of it is caused by Israel’s policy of economic strangulation.
It was supposed to be the embryo of a coming Palestinian state, which Israel today openly admits it rejects.
Israel continued to be the occupying power in the West Bank and Gaza, including in areas under the jurisdiction of the PA.
It is this PA, that, after pressure from Israel and the U.S., ended its social aid program to families of Palestinian prisoners and those killed by Israel.
And yet, despite wielding near total power over the Palestinian government, Israel still has a bone to pick with the PA.
