Indeed, what you wrote:

"...Much of the money depends on Israel fully opening border crossings with Hamas-ruled Gaza, and lifting restrictions in the occupied West Bank where Abbas's Palestinian Authority holds sway, or has been linked to progress in stalled peace talks and Palestinian reconciliation, casting doubt on future payouts,"..

Explains why Abbas, immediately after Hillary's financial announcement, asked her, less than one day later, to press Israel towards opening the border and blocking in Israeli's actions and expansions in the West Bank.

Thank YOU for being so prompt in exposing the above.

Your work is so imperative to all of us.
