French President Calls on World Bank to Pay PA Salaries

Just when we begin to forget why we so despise Jacques Chirac, he reminds us.......

French President Jacques Chirac called on Friday morning for the World Bank to pay the salaries of the Palestinian Authority government employees, according to the Associated Press.

Chirac said the World Bank should create a special fund in order to transfer monies earmarked for public service employees in the PA.

The French president met with PA President Mahmoud Abbas on Friday to discuss ways to help the cash-strapped PA.

Maybe a better idea would be to seize Suha Arafat's assets, the billions of $ stolen by her late husband, and pay the PA salaries with that.
