RAMALLAH, West Bank — For the first time ever, the Palestinian government officially resolved, on March 22, to prohibit the entry of products from five Israeli companies — namely, Tnuva Dairy, Tara Dairy, Strauss Ice Cream, Tapuzina Juice and Zoglobeck Meats — to Palestinian markets. The government tasked the relevant authorities to immediately enforce the decision.

The government decision was adopted during its March 22 session, in response to the March 9 Israeli decision prohibiting the marketing in East Jerusalem of products made by the following five Palestinian companies: Hamoda Dairy, Al Juneidi Dairy & Food Products, Al Rayyan Dairy, Salwa Foods, and Siniora Food Products.
