afp-7842f985fc473b674200aaf20dc6814551fd0e85In the last six months Saudi Arabia has discontinued financial aid for the Palestinian Authority, the Times of Israel website reported on Tuesday citing senior Ramallah officials.

According to the report, no reason was given for the withholding of the monthly payment of $20 million; however, a discord between Saudis and Palestinians may be linked to the widely reported rapprochment between the Gulf kingdom and Israel. MORE
