The Palestinian Authority will increase employees' salaries by 4% this month, Amjad Abu Raed, head of the Union of Government Officials said on Monday.A good number of those that will be receiving this across-the-board increase live in the Gaza Strip - and don't work at all.
Abu Raed said that a 2.75% increase will be tacked on to salaries for the cost of living, and 1.25% will be given as an annual bonus.
All governmental employees will receive the raise, he said, adding that the union received a formal decision from the Ramallah government announcing the decision.
Thus helping ensure that Hamas can use all the money it gets from Iran for weapons, and not to actually take care of Gazans.
