While Fayyad's cabinets have not been able to extend their authority outside of West Bank cities and towns, the resumption of Israeli revenue transfers (Israel collects a large portion of Palestinian tax revenues when goods destined for Palestinian markets pass through Israeli ports) and a massive international assistance effort has assured the fiscal health of the Ramallah-based PA since June 2007.

As such, this article provides an example of how a small, wealthy state like Qatar can skillfully generate a sophisticated, independent foreign policy agenda that differentiates itself from its larger and influential neighbors, while simultaneously upgrading its international profile and gaining regional prominence.

In the lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in Greenbelt, the Iranian government seeks unspecified damages for military equipment and parts it claims were destroyed or lost while stored by Overflo Warehouse LLC in 2005. The items reportedly damaged include '70s- era navigation and radar equipment, computer parts and military components.
