Note
Alvaro de Soto, "United Nations Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process and Special Representative of the Secretary-General to the Palestine Liberation Organization and the Palestinian Authority," worries about: "There was a danger that cutting off assistance prior to that date might be interpreted by Palestinians and the Arab world as punishment of the Palestinian people for the way in which they had voted on 25 January." I guess the UN would prefer to reward the Palestinian people for voting for a party whose platform is the annihilation of its Jewish neighbor.
