Official PA TV News
Official PA TV newsreader: “[PA] Prime Minister Muhammad Shtayyeh discussed the recent political developments in his office in Ramallah with French General Consul in Jerusalem René Troccaz. During the meeting, the prime minister briefed [Troccaz] on the severe economic situation that the [PA] government is dealing with, in the shadow of Israel’s ongoing unjust deduction of Palestinian [tax] money (refers to Israel’s Anti “Pay-for-Slay” Law to deduct PA terror salaries; see note below -Ed.). Shtayyeh also briefed Troccaz on Israel’s ongoing violations, and especially the settlement expansion and taking control of the lands, in addition to the recurring invasions of the Palestinian areas.”
