changed, it still does not recognize Israel. I point this out only to highlight the falsity of the good Palesrinian=Fatah or those still living under on going occupation and bad Palestinian=Hamas those not living occupation but under siege and embargo, who have never been allowed to develop their economy or resources and were being actively prohibited from doing so both before and after Israel pulled back to it's borders and sent the Gaza "settlers" to greener pastures.

BG estimates that the project could pump revenues of $50m (£31m) a year into the Palestinian economy. According to Mr Field, the Palestinians have agreed that it would be paid into a central account audited by the international community.

Take note Israel has control over Palestinian monies also and has held those since Hamas was elected in 2006.
