Israel Approves 5,000 More Palestinian Work Permits
(Jerusalem Post) Herb Keinon and Khaled Abu Toameh - The Israeli cabinet on Sunday approved permits enabling another 5,000 Palestinians to work inside Israel, to add to the 35,000 Palestinian workers already working legally there. One cabinet source noted, however, that "while we take a step that will help the Palestinian economy, they [the Palestinians] continue to call for a total boycott of settlement goods and industry - something that hurts them since they are employed in that industry - and are behind the calls in Europe for stiffer economic sanctions against settlements."
