The Palestinian delegation, headed by Prime Minister Rami al-Hamdullah, the Economic Affairs minister and the Finance minister, is supposed to provide the European donor countries with a detailed report about the economic situation, in seeking to obtain a grant of $500 million for the Palestinian Authority’s expenses and needs.
