EU ready to deliver £43.5m aid to support Palestinians
THE European Union was set to sign a deal with the United Nations today, granting £43.5 million in urgent aid for Palestinian Authority.

However, future funding remains under threat after the formation of a Hamas government.

The EU foreign ministers will debate the impact of a Hamas government, as will the 25 EU leaders at a Brussels summit later in the week.

Yesterday, a European diplomat said the EU would work with Hamas, but added: "Those putting together the new government must know that how they decide their government programme will have repercussions."

The aid is meant to prevent the collapse of the destitute Palestinian Authority after Israel cut off about £28 million a month in tax money it collects for the Palestinians.

It is designed to demonstrate the EU's readiness to continue to support Palestinians.
