STORYLINE
Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh previously announced that 6,800 employees who had been forced by the PA to take early retirement would get their full salary. He added that about 20,000 employees who have been receiving less than 70 per cent of their salaries would get 100 per cent
About 12,500 people who were chosen to join the security services in 2005, have been paid half of their salaries for years. They will start being paid their full salary
Shtayyeh said that all PA employees in Gaza would get salaries and rights equal to those of their colleagues in the occupied West Bank. Some of the problems, he explained, can be solved through reconciliation and some can be solved now. He noted that his government, which took office in 2019, had already started to solve such issues.
