Clinton Presses Arab Nations to Bolster Aid to Palestinians
(Washington Post) Glenn Kessler - Secretary of State Hillary Clinton pressed Arab officials Tuesday to bolster their financial contributions to the Palestinian Authority and to support the nascent peace talks more visibly. The PA has received much of its budget support from the EU and the U.S., with oil-rich Arab countries lagging in supplying the amounts they had pledged, and the situation has become even more acute this year. Arab diplomats have said there is little trust that the PA will use the contributions wisely.
