Israel is considering releasing some of the frozen Palestinian funds to President Abu Mazen. Israel is holding several hundreds million dollars of Palestinian taxes because it fears that it may be used to finance terrorist activity. Israel wishes to support Abu Mazen's stand against Hamas and may release a few million dollars.
The funds will be mainly used to pay the salaries of Palestinian officials and government workers.
Israel's position is that it is willing to release the funds provided that they will go to Abu Mazen and not to the Hamas government.
Abu Mazen promised, in a speech on Saturday, to pay the salaries for the thousands of government employees very soon
