Some Palestinians said that the activists’ demand could mark the beginning of a Fatah revolt against Abbas in the Gaza Strip.

Activists from the dominant Fatah faction have demanded that the Palestinian Authority stop its policy of “discrimination” against its own employees in the Gaza Strip, who have seen their salaries either cut or halted in the past three years.The demand was a sign of growing discontent among Fatah officials in the Gaza Strip with PA Zionist puppet Mahmoud Abbas and the PA leadership, and some Palestinians said the demand could spark a revolt within Fatah in the Strip where the faction has tens of thousands of members.
The demand to redress the salaries came after Ahmed Majdalani, the PA social development minister, complained that PA employees in Gaza had been receiving salaries for the past 13 years despite not doing any work.Majdalani, a member of the Palestine Liberation Organization Executive Committee, said it was inconceivable that those employees should continue to receive full salaries, including payments for transportation and other privileges, while idle.
The PA government ordered its thousands of employees to remain at home after Hamas seized control of the Gaza Strip in 2007. It wanted to prevent them from continuing to work under Hamas’s administration. But in 2017, the PA government, facing a deep financial crisis, decided to suspend or cut the employees’ salaries and discontent grew among them because their colleagues in the West Bank have continued to receive their salaries in full.The activists have launched an online campaign titled “Stop the Discrimination” in which they have accused Abbas and the PA government of failing to fulfill their obligations to their Gaza employees.
