Israel Paying Pensions to Gazans Who Worked in Israel
(Ha'aretz) Akiva Eldar - Israel has started transferring pension payments to Gaza residents who once worked in Israel. Israel recently deposited 1.6 million shekels in the Bank of Palestine in Ramallah, which was then forwarded to the bank accounts of 92 beneficiaries in Gaza who used to work in Israeli hospitals. Money had been deducted from their wages for their pension funds, as required by law. A similar arrangement last year transferred 20 million shekels in disability allocations to 360 beneficiaries in Gaza.
