Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haniya Attends Weekly Friday Prayer

GAZA CITY, GAZA STRIP - MAY 19: Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh leaves after attending the Friday prayer at the al-Omari mosque May 19, 2006 in Gaza City, Gaza Strip. Haniyeh said Friday that his Government will make efforts to collect money for the Palestinian people and face the international boycott. The European Union and the United States froze hundreds of millions of dollars in direct financial aid to the Palestinian Authority following Hamas's rise to power and its refusal to recognize Israel and renounce violence. As a result, the already indebted Palestinian Authority has been unable to pay the salaries of some 160,000 state employees since February. (Photo by Abid Katib/Getty Images)
