[h=2]Hi, Hamas. Israel would love to help you with your little electrical problem but we wont be able to repair it today, tomorrow doesnt look good either. You see, were kind of busy fighting a war right now. Call us when you run out of rockets and well do lunch.[/h]
[h=4]INN Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has asked the IEC not to risk the lives of its employees in trying to restore power. The Palestinian Authority currently owes the Israel Electric Company NIS 1.5 billion ($525 million) in unpaid bills for electricity. [/h][h=4]Last month, the IEC filed a petition with the High Court demanding to be allowed to shut off electricity to the Palestinian Authority until the debt was paid or to allow the IEC to seize customs and aid payments collected on behalf of the PA to pay off its debt. That case is still pending.[/h]
[h=4]Seventy thousand Gazans from Khan Younis and Deir el-Balah were in the dark Sunday night after a Hamas rocket hit the power line that supplies electricity to those places. Its not clear when Israel Electric Company workers will be able to repair the system, but they are apparently in no rush to do so. Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has asked the IEC not to risk the lives of its employees in trying to restore power to the affected sector in Gaza, an operation that could take hours.[/h]
