Gas stations shut off pumps for 'Palestinian' security

This is rich. Gas stations across Judea and Samaria are no longer accepting 'Palestinian Authority' vouchers to fill the tanks of 'Palestinian security' vehicles. It seems that the 'Palestinian Authority' hasn't paid its bills in months, and the gas stations have decided that enough is enough.

The PA Finance Ministry has not reimbursed fuel vouchers for five months, and on Tuesday a network of fuel distributors announced it would stop letting the security forces fill up for free.

They say the security services will be able to fill up their tanks until Thursday, after which they will be refused.

Ma'an has learned that the Finance Ministry only started paying January's fuel vouchers on Sunday. On Tuesday, they were expected to pay February's bills.

But the owners of gas stations say they will not let them take fuel after Thursday if the ministry does not pay all its debts by then.

A Finance Ministry spokesman declined to comment.

Hey morons - stop paying the terrorists and start paying your bills!
