In the Occupied Territories, the Hamas-led Palestinian government has announced it is out of money. Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh said his government will have difficulty paying the monthly salaries of its 140,000 employees — the lifeline for an estimated one-third of Palestinians. The announcement came one week after the swearing in of the new Hamas cabinet. Israel has already frozen Palestinian tax revenues it collects as part of its control over the Occupied Territories.
