RAMALLAH, September 22, 2026 (WAFA) – The Palestinian Ministry of Finance and Planning announced today that public sector employees will receive 0% of their June 2026 salaries tomorrow, Wednesday, September 23, with a minimum payment of 2,000 shekels.

In a press statement, the ministry confirmed that the remaining outstanding salary arrears are liabilities owed to employees and will be disbursed once financial conditions permit.

The Palestinian government has been facing a severe and prolonged fiscal crisis, primarily due to Israel’s continued withholding of Palestinian tax revenues — funds that Israel collects on behalf of the Palestinian Authority (PA) under the 1994 Paris Protocol and which constitute a major source of the PA’s revenue.

The financial shortfall has left tens of thousands of Palestinian public sector employees, including teachers, healthcare workers, security personnel and civil servants, facing reduced or delayed wages, while the government continues to struggle to meet its financial obligations.
