New York, September 27, 2025, SPA -- The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Belgium, Denmark, France, Iceland, Ireland, Japan, Norway, Slovenia, Spain, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom announced today the launch of the Emergency Coalition for the Financial Sustainability of the Palestinian Authority. The coalition was established in response to the urgent and unprecedented financial crisis confronting the Palestinian Authority (PA). Its immediate purpose is to stabilize the PA’s finances and preserve its ability to govern, provide essential services, and maintain security, all of which are indispensable to regional stability and to preserving the two-state solution. The coalition has attracted a large and diverse group of supporting countries and partners, many of which have already made significant financial contributions and pledged sustained support. This collective engagement demonstrates the broad international consensus on the need to prevent the collapse of the PA and to uphold the foundations of peace. Short-term aid alone is not sufficient; the coalition will therefore promote a sustainable, predictable, and coordinated approach, working with international financial institutions and key partners to mobilize resources, support ongoing governance and economic reforms, and ensure full transparency and accountability. The ministers of the coalition countries demand that Israel immediately release all Palestinian clearance revenues and cease any measures that obstruct or weaken the PA or risk its collapse. They stressed that such actions threaten not only Palestinian livelihoods and institutional stability but also regional and international peace and security. The coalition is open and inclusive and invites all states and international organizations to join this collective effort. Strengthening the PA’s financial foundations is, the ministers affirmed, an investment in peace, stability, and security for Palestinians, Israelis, and the wider region.
