Arab foreign ministers meet over financial support to Palestine

Finance minister of 22 Arab states will meet Cairo this November 16 to debate financial contribution to the funds set up by Arab heads of state to support Palestinians. Three items are on the agenda: means to collect funds, the use of funds and the creation of a council to manage the resources.

The Arab extraordinary summit, held last October in Cairo had decided to set up two funds: "Al Aqsa fund" with a capital of $ 800 million dedicate to Al Quds (Jerusalem) and "Al Quds Intifada fund" with a capital of $ 200 million to help families of Palestinian martyrs and Palestinian children education.
