The Palestinian finance and planning ministry scheduled a partial payment of public employees’ July salaries for Monday, October 26, WAFA reported on October 25. The announced payment is at least 50% of salary, with a minimum of 2000 shekels. The transfer concerns July arrears, rather than October pay or a settlement of every outstanding entitlement. The ministry said unpaid balances remain owed to employees and will be paid when finances permit, without specifying a date. Distinguishing the salary month from the transfer date clarifies what this instalment covers and what remains outstanding.
