PNA urges world to bar goods made in Jewish settlements

The Palestinian National Authority (PNA) on Thursday urged the world to bar goods made in Jewish settlements from entering the markets.

"Blocking the settlements' goods emphasizes the international resolution about the illegitimacy and illegality of the settlements that were built on occupied Palestinian land," said a statement by the PNA's ministry of economy.

The statement, meanwhile, welcomed South Africa's decision to label the settlements' products as being from the occupied Palestinian territories. The South African move has angered Israel.

The statement also warned that Israel may hide the real information on the settlements' products and promote them as goods made in Israel, not in the settlements.
