Gaza's sole power plant shuts over Palestinian tax dispute
It gets awfully hot in that part of the world about now... | [Ynet] The Gazoo Strip's sole power plant has halted production, the Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason,-run energy authority said Tuesday, in the latest dispute with the West Bank-based Paleostinian Authority over fuel tax.
"The levying of fuel taxes by the finance ministry in Ramallah is preventing the (Hamas) energy authority from running the power station," a statement from the authority said.
The PA must "lift all taxes on fuel" to get the plant up and running, it said.
