1. (C) On August 9, CDA conveyed points on UAE financial
assistance to the PA to MFA Assistant Under Secretary for
International Cooperation, Mohammad Abdul Rahim Abdul Jalil,
temporarily the ranking official present at the Ministry.
After first remonstrating that the UAE has "already done a
lot for the Palestinians," Abdul Jalil took the request, at
CDA's urging, and said he would pass it to Foreign Minister
Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan (AbZ). (Note: In a
separate meeting, MFA's Khalifa al-Mazrooei -- European,
American, Oceanic Affairs -- reminded poloffs that the UAE
had promised Abbas $80 million to use at his discretion
during Abbas' early July visit to Abu Dhabi. End Note.)
2. (C) Post has meeting for Treasury U/S Levey with AbZ on
Monday evening, August 13, exact time TBD. We plan to raise
the request on that occasion as well.
