Problems for "Palestine"

From Alaa Tartir's post:

1.The continuous failures of the leadership of Fatah and Hamas to reach a genuine political rapprochement that unifies the West Bank and Gaza...

2.The acts of corruption committed by the current caretaker government, headed by Dr. Salam Fayyad, which resulted in the resignation of a few ministers, with more to come...

3.The policies, particularly in the economy and security spheres, adopted by the Palestinian Authority since 2007 that were based on a neo-liberal economic agenda and security measures prioritizing the needs of the donors and the Israeli agenda at the expense of national priorities...

4.The unjustifiable increase in the cost of living in the West Bank...

5.The settlers’ harassment and the new crimes committed by Israeli military forces...

6.The battle of civil society and Fatah against the ‘normalization’ meetings and joint activities...

Problems, problems.
