Is a sign of growing tensions with Israel over US President Donald Trump Middle East peace plan, the Palestinian Authority on Monday banned the imports of vegetables, fruits, soft drinks, and water from Israel into the Palestinian territories.

The move seems to counter an order issued by the Defense Ministry on Friday, halting agricultural imports from the West Bank – a move which itself sought to respond to a Palestinian boycott of Israeli cattle breeders.

Defense Minister Naftali Bennett has instructed Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories Maj. Gen. Kamil Abu Rokon  to do so after months during which the defense establishment tried to resolve the issue through negotiations.

The Palestinian boycott of Israeli cattle breeders has inflicted significant damage on the industry.
