The US and the EU have also decided to continue funding the PA while a caretaker government rules. But the payments will not continue for much longer.

"I estimate we have six to eight weeks more of breathing space until Hamas forms its government," said Wazir.

Those are the bills we have to pay," said the manager, Tareq Mustafa, who has been fielding constant calls over the past week from other ministries anxious to know if they will get paid.

The PA needs $116 million a month to pay salaries of 137,000 workers, civil servants and security forces. That does not include payments to vendors for supplies and services, nor does it include the monthly social security payments to the nation's poorest.

1. Hamas supports peace and an end to the Occupation!

How can anyone disagree with such a noble mission statement!

On the other hand, we can ask what does Hamas mean to say when they speak of peace and ending the Occupation.

The Occupation began in 1948, Hamas would say. Once the Occupation has ended, then there will be peace.

How wonderful!
