TEL AVIV [MENL] -- Israel, amid the war with the Hamas regime, has been
seeking banks to transfer cash to the Gaza Strip.
Officials said the government of Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has directed
the Postal Bank to transfer cash to the Gaza Strip. They said about $20
million would be used to pay the salaries of the Palestinian Authority
employees, jobs now controlled by the Hamas regime.
"We are under international obligation to transfer cash to Gaza banks,"
an official said.
