The European Union has announced a new financial commitment of nearly €88 million to support the Palestinian Authority (PA).

BRUSSELS : EU Commissioner Dubravka Suica confirmed the pledge following a major donors’ conference held in Brussels on Tuesday. “We have signed more than 82 million euros, in addition to the six million euros that were previously announced,” Suica told reporters, noting that the newly released funds reflect the bloc’s continued engagement with the Palestinian leadership.
