GAZA, (PIC)-- Gaza premier Ismail Haneyya has affirmed that his government was not in debt despite the Israeli siege and the heavy burdens.
He told a ceremony organized on Tuesday by the Palestinian society for accountants and auditors that the tenth Palestinian government, formed by Hamas, inherited an empty treasury with a debt of 1.2 billion dollars.
Haneyya said money is channeled to his government from official and popular Arab and Islamic parties without any conditions attached despite the American and European stands and the financial blockade.
The premier said that his government is paying the salaries of 42000 employees and managing a monthly budget of around 30 million dollars.
