GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — The Palestinian government continues to endeavor to find new markets to export its products and to import raw materials as an alternative for Israeli ones. The Russian market took the lead, particularly since the Russian-Palestinian political relations have developed over the past few years.
The search for new markets is part of the government's strategic plan, announced in May, to achieve economic disengagement from Israel. The plan has angered Israelis who threatened Oct. 25 to prevent the Palestinians from exporting their products in case their government continues to prevent entry of some Israeli commodities onto the Palestinian market.
