Abstract
The financial crisis of the Palestinian Authority (PA) escalated following ‎the suspension of funds ‎made by the European Union and the USA, the ‎refusal of Israel to transfer tax returns to the PA's ‎treasury and the ‎Palestinian Government's (PG) failure to transfer funds raised from some ‎‎countries to the Palestinian treasury. One of the major consequences of ‎this crisis was the PG's ‎inability to pay the salaries of its employees for ‎two consecutive months now. ‎ In addition to the financial crisis, the PG goes through a crisis of ‎disputed responsibilities with the ‎Presidential Institution. Further, the ‎Palestinian streets go through an unprecedented state of ‎chaos, ‎insecurity, and outlaw. Some fear that the present congestion of the ‎Palestinian streets ‎may lead to a civil war under the current state of ‎militarization, and the provocative statements ‎that officials let go here ‎and there.‎
