The Palestinian Authority has launched a boycott against products manufactured in West Bank Jewish settlements.
A list of 500 specific products that the Palestinian Authority has ordered to be boycotted will be sent to West Bank Palestinian homes in the coming weeks, according to reports.
Palestinian merchants caught dealing in the banned products face fines and jail time.
The Yesha Council settlers organization said in a statement released May 18: “This is a clear violation of the Paris Protocol which regulates the economic relations between Israel and the Palestinian Authority. Israel must use the Palestinian Authority’s funds in its possession to compensate the boycotted factories.” — jta
