Spain, Denmark, Ireland and Luxembourg have been named as the countries which rejected a move by the European Commission to put more than $728 million of aid under review.

The European Commission said on Monday “there will be no suspension of payments”, just five hours after it was stated that all payments from the development programme for Palestine would be “immediately suspended. All projects put under review. All new budget proposals … postponed until further notice.”

However, until now, it wasn’t clear which member states were blocking the suspension and no immediate explanation for the reversal was given.
