Prime Minister: Continuation of Government Efforts to Secure Financial Resources to Cover Accumulated Obligations

SadaNews: The Cabinet warned of a dangerous plan aimed at re-occupying the city of Gaza and demolishing what remains of its neighborhoods, homes, and facilities, warning that this would push nearly a million Palestinians to be displaced again under conditions lacking the most basic elements of life. It pointed out that this plan would also lead to a worsening of the population density in the already devastated and uninhabitable areas in the southern Gaza Strip, coinciding with restrictions on the entry of humanitarian aid and the ongoing spread of famine.

The Cabinet also considered that Israel's acknowledgment of the crime of targeting journalists, civil defense teams, and patients at Nasser Hospital yesterday came only after it was documented by cameras live on air, calling for this crime and others to be a motive for more effective international pressure to stop the genocide against our people in the Gaza Strip and in the West Bank, which is facing an unprecedented colonial assault and a wave of escalating attacks, the latest of which targeted the villages of Al-Mughayer and Sinjel, as well as the ongoing incursions into various cities, towns, and refugee camps in the West Bank.

In its weekly session on Tuesday, the Cabinet warned of the worsening financial crisis and its impact on the health, education, and security sectors in particular, amidst the continued withholding of clearance funds, calling for intensified international pressure for their release to avoid any interruption in the provision of these services.

In the same context, the Prime Minister emphasized the continuing efforts of the government to secure financial resources to cover accumulated obligations, directing the relevant authorities to follow up on the implementation of measures to alleviate the burdens on employees, ensure the provision of basic services, and support areas affected by colonialism and settler assaults.

The Cabinet also reviewed the preparations of the Ministry of Education and Higher Education with various partners for the holding of the general secondary examination for 25,000 students in the Gaza Strip, which will commence on Saturday, September 6, 2025. In this regard, the Cabinet praised the educational staff and the important national role played by our educational institutions in advancing and maintaining the national narrative.

Additionally, the Cabinet approved the annual report of the General Administration for Complaints, which received more than 11,000 complaints from the complaint units in ministries, government departments, and the security institution, with over 81% of these complaints addressed. The report included recommendations being studied by the relevant authorities, including the development of a special system for addressing pending complaints in local authorities and improving complaint mechanisms in hospitals, medical centers, crossings, borders, and embassies, all of which would enhance the quality of government services through prompt resolution and handling of complaints.

In a related context, the Cabinet approved the opening of a unified account for the revenue and payment of electricity bills by local authorities and distribution companies, to organize the purchase of electricity from foreign sources and to facilitate the deposit of dues owed by authorities and distribution companies into the unified account, as part of the government's efforts in implementing the Energy Security Initiative to regulate the renewable energy sector, increase reliance on local production, and build a national carrier capable of providing energy security and encouraging local investment in the energy sector.

The Cabinet discussed in the second reading the draft property appraisal and licensing system, which aims to regulate property valuation operations and determine a fair price for both buyers and sellers while specifying the insurance value on real estate and other procedures in coordination with the relevant authorities.

The Cabinet also approved declaring Thursday, September 4, 2025, a public holiday in celebration of the Prophetic Birth.
