"The Quartet threatened last month to cut aid to a government led by Hamas, whose charter calls for the destruction of Israel, unless it renounced violence, recognized the Jewish state and abided by interim peace deals."
"(International envoy James) Wolfensohn, who will brief the Quartet on Wednesday about the Palestinian Authority's cash crunch, said it needed $60 million to $80 million next week to begin paying the February salaries of about 140,000 Palestinian workers, including security personnel."


...""I know I do not need to tell each of you that the failure to pay salaries may have wide-ranging consequences -- not only for the Palestinian economy but also for security and stability for both the Palestinians and the Israelis," Wolfensohn said."
