RAMALLAH Mens Nike Cortez Classic Nylon Black Green Shoes Australia , Feb. 22 (Xinhua) -- The Palestinian finance minister said Monday that the Palestinians will not accept any Israeli economic plans to substitute the political process in light of the stalled peace track.
The minister's remarks were made as response to Israeli reports over an Israeli plan to offer facilitations to Palestinians to help boost the Palestinian economy.
The Israeli public radio reported that Israeli Finance Minister Moshe Kahlon has prepared an economic plan to help Palestinians in coordination with the United States.
The plan reportedly is to increase workers permits for Palestinians to enter Israel for working in construction, and the number of Palestinian academics in the field of high-tech as well as physicians to join Israeli hospitals.
According to the radio station, Kahlon held several meetings in the past weeks with Palestinian officials Mens Nike Cortez Retro Red Shoes Australia , to discuss the plan.
Palestinian Finance Minister Shukri Bishara confirmed his meeting with Israeli counterpart Moshe Kahlon. He told Xinhua that the meetings focused on the regulation of transferring the tax revenues that Israel collects to the Palestinian side and not to coordinate the reported economic plan.
Bishara said he demanded limiting tax evasion cases, transferring the tax money timely, re-organizing the Palestinian income money nike air vapormax flyknit australia , tax refunds and tax clearance, in addition to re-organizing the petrol payments.
Under the Oslo Accords signed between the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) and Israel in 1993, the latter collects taxes on behalf of Palestinians and then transfers them to the Palestinian finance ministry. Palestinian tax revenues are estimated at over 1 billion U.S. dollars annually.
Israel deducts 3 percent of the total value of the taxes it collects for Palestinians in return for electricity and petrol and other services to the Palestinians.
Those developments come amidst a wave of tension that has broke out between Palestinians and Israel since last October nike cortez ultra australia , killing 181 Palestinians, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry, and 31 Israelis.

BEIJING， Aug. 10 (Xinhua) -- The slander made by Australian swimmer Mack Horton against his Chinese rival Sun Yang was an inappropriate remark by an individual athlete， before biased media reports spun it into a row between Olympic fans and sports authorities of the two countries.
Instead of highlighting the Olympic spirits and friendly bonds made by athletes from across the world in Brazil， a few Western media outlets， both mainstream and tabloid， sank so low to exacerbate verbal clashes and biases against the Chinese swimming star.
Their reports deliberately neglected the fact that Sun's three-month ban in 2014 was due to taking trimetazidine to treat his heart condition and failed to report for a therapeutic exemption， since the drug was only put in the WADA banned substance list in the same year.
The anti-doping authorities have cleared Sun's name and ruled him clean， but such rules and facts were disregarded by some Australian and British media， who continued to label him a "drug cheat" and even go into personal attack of Sun's teeth shape and playful interactions with the audience.
To keep the "exciting" row between the two athletes going， some media outlets persistently asked Horton and Sun for "comments" and "responses，" overstepping the boundary to abetting and luring.
Sun was wise enough to stay out of the hype created by predatory media， declining to offer comments on Horton and focusing on the competition.
After winning his first 200m freestyle gold medal on Monday， Sun thanked his coaches for strong support， including his former Australian legendary coach Dennis Cotterell.
Horton， whether he was using the slander as a "tactic" or just has a big mouth， needs to realize that he has been used by some media to create attention， as making fun of Brazil's Olympic preparations was not on trend anymore.
Freedom of expression should not be abused by some irresponsible Western media outlets to flame hatred. Such biased and malicious reports have already fanned bitter feelings between Australian and Chinese netizens， seriously distracting the Olympics' upbeat theme， and risk spiraling into an unnecessary political row.
The digital economy’s big annual trade show nike cortez nylon womens australia , CES, suffered a brief, disruptive plunge into darkness on Wednesday because of a power outage that the event’s organisers blamed on heavy rain.
The irony of a partial blackout at a trade show dedicated to the latest electronic technology did not escape social or industry media. “Lights out at CES 2018. Does anyone have a battery pack?” wrote Endgadget nike cortez nylon australia , a technology news site.
Large swaths of the sprawling Las Vegas convention centre lost power at about 11:15am local time, shutting down brightly lit company booths and darkening rooms used by hundreds of journalists covering CES. Emergency lights stayed on, and backup batteries kept wireless internet connections functioning.
CES organisers said power was restored within minutes to the centre’s South Hall nike cortez ultra moire australia , where many gaming companies had exhibits. Other areas took longer. Power was fully restored at 2:10pm, CES said in a statement.
A preliminary assessment found that moisture from heavy rains on Tuesday had caused a “flashover” in one of the convention centre’s transformers, it said.
Power and rain are not the only challenges CES has faced this year. A central theme of this year’s show was Smart Cities nike cortez grey womens australia , and automakers and other companies have used elaborate virtual reality displays of tree-lined streets with smooth flowing traffic to promote technology and investments aimed at relieving urban congestion.
