COGAT says long delays in services for Palestinians due to manpower shortage
Israel’s military liaison to the Palestinians says staffing shortages will delay the issuing of permits for Palestinians looking to leave the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
In a Facebook post, Maj. Gen. Yoav Mordechai, formally known as coordinator of government activities in the territories (COGAT), says the delays will also affect the issuing and renewal of employment permits and import licenses.
A COGAT official says the staffing shortages stem from a 2015 wage dispute with the Finance Ministry.
