New PA 'law' bans 'settlement products'
'Moderate' 'Palestinian' President Hassan al-Ouri, a legal adviser to Abbas, said that the new law was based on the grounds that the settlements were “cancers in the Palestinian body.” He said the law signed by Abbas was designed to confront the settlements with all means available to the Palestinians.What could go wrong?
Ouri said Palestinians who purchased such products helped to “fatten and legitimize” settlements.
The new law also calls for punitive measures against any Palestinian who violates it, including confiscation of the merchandise.
The adviser said Abbas had been forced to issue the law in the absence of the Palestinian Legislative Council, the only body entitled to do so.
The PLC has been effectively paralyzed since Hamas seized full control of the Gaza Strip in the summer of 2007.

doesnt the new law also ban palis from working on settlement projects?
this should be a boon for the israeli economy
finally...full employment

Israel can ban the transfer of Israeli taxpayer dollars to the PA and apply other sanctions. Israel should not be in the business of subsidizing the PA's hatred of Jews.
