Palestinian Finances are notoriously opaque. However, Al Jazeera has an analysis made by the Associated Press purporting to show the major sources of the PA's revenues for 2005. I have converted this into graphic form below:

Palestinian finance data 2005

Since at least 80% of PA revenues come from external sources (and no one is really sure how or if the PA manages to collect the 20% of domestic tax revenue included in their budget), the new government is really over a barrel if foreign governments stop writing the checks.
