Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad toured France on Thursday 3 and Friday, February 4. His program includes meetings with President of the Republic, the Prime Minister and the chairmen of both chambers. Fayyad was also attending Thursday night at a dinner followed by the Paris donors conference for the future Palestinian state whose three-year cycle, launched December 17, 2007, concluded there is a little over a months.
The need to continue the payment of financial assistance to the Palestinian Authority, even if only to ensure payment of salaries of the Palestinian Authority, including those in Gaza, urges the French to plead for organizing a new conference. "On one condition is that the donor conference has a political dimension," said President of the Republic, Nicolas Sarkozy, during his press conference on 24 January.
"Europe can not continue to pay and to be kept out of political discussions. If the political discussions yet progressed without Europe, one could say: 'It's like that', but it no longer not advance ", added Mr Sarkozy. In 2007, the Paris conference had taken place three weeks after the launch of the Annapolis process between Israelis and Palestinians, the United States.
A new round of support for the Palestinians would take place in a different context since the resumption of direct negotiations between the two parties on September 2 in Washington, led to a deadlock. Between December 2007 and December 2010, donations to the Palestinians amounted to 7.7 billion, well above the 5.6 billion originally requested by the Palestinian Authority.
Budget support (for the payment of wages) reached 4.3 billion. In the summer of 2009, the Palestinian prime minister, an independent who always difficult relations with the Fatah party of Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, had launched an ambitious plan over two years to lay the foundations of a state.
This plan will come to an end without the goal is about to be realized. Gilles Paris
