The information was released by the EU in a communiqu&eacute; and aired on the news agency <em>Wafa <\/em>this Thursday (5th).<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Palestinian statehood is critical for any peaceful, workable and lasting solution to the Middle East Peace Process,&rdquo; said EU representative John Gatt-Rutter, according to the communiqu&eacute;. <\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The EU&rsquo;s investment in institution-building work at the Palestinian Authority is contributing significantly towards that end. The EU continues to support a negotiated solution to the conflict, and will make every effort to ensure that ongoing negotiations can succeed,&rdquo; he said. <\/p>\n<p>The wages were paid to the employees this Thursday by the Palestinian Authority, after it had voiced concerns that November salaries might be delayed due to lack of funds. <\/p>\n<p>On Wednesday (4th), the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (Unrwa) announced that it will need US$ 687 million to provide basic services to the Palestinian population next year.<\/p>\n<p>The organization called on the international community to donate the funds needed, as it expects a US$ 65 million deficit in 2014, i.e. near 10% of the total required. This year, according to a UN press release, the agency&rsquo;s budget had a US$ 36 million.<\/p>\n<p><strong>*Translated by Gabriel Pomerancblum<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The European Union has donated 11 million euros for the Palestinian government to make salary and pension payments to 71,000 civil servants and pensioners in November.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2316,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[106],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-46626","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-foreign-affairs"},"wps_subtitle":"The European Union has donated 11 million euros for the Palestinian government to make salary and pension payments to 71,000 civil servants and pensioners in November.","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46626","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2316"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=46626"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46626\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=46626"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=46626"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=46626"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
