EU steps into Palestine
But in a good way this time?
The European Union has stepped in to save the Palestinian Authority from imminent financial collapse with an offer of 120m euros emergency aid.
The European Commission says the money is for 'basic needs' and will keep the authority running for about two months.
The international community is debating whether to fund the authority when militant Hamas group takes power. Israel responded to the Hamas election win in January by cutting off monthly payments of $50m in tax revenues.
