EU Delaying Transfer of Fuel to Gaza Power Plant
[Ha'aretz] Avi Bar-Eli, Yoav Stern and Yuval Azoulay - The Gaza Generating Company has not received any fuel for its power plant because the European Union has yet to decide whether to continue paying for it. As a result, the power plant said it had shut down all four of its generators, which provide electricity to roughly one-fourth of Gaza's 1.5 million residents. IDF Col. Nir Peres said, "This is an internal Palestinian matter," while some Israeli officials said PA Prime Minister Fayad was trying "to flex his muscles in order to show Hamas that he is the one who controls the tap and is running the show."
