PA Prime Minister Helps Burn Jewish Settlement Products

(Ynet News) Ali Waked - Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad on Tuesday took part in a demonstration in which he threw products made in Jewish settlements, which were confiscated from Palestinian stores, into a fire. PA Economics Minister Hassan Abu Libdeh said the Western-backed Palestinian government had already confiscated $1 million worth of food, cosmetics and hardware, and the goal is to eliminate all settlement-made goods from Palestinian store shelves. Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor said the Palestinian boycott would only damage peace prospects: "I don't think by concentrating their efforts on boycotts they will achieve any of the political goals, if these still include reaching a peace agreement with Israel." Israel's Histadrut labor federation said a boycott would harm the Palestinians more, as many of them are employed by Israeli factories in the West Bank.
