Senior officials in the security establishment recommend that Jerusalem impose sanctions on Palestinian Authority leaders, as a response to the wave of Western countries recognizing a Palestinian state, APA reports, citing The Times of Israel.
The proposed objects of sanctions reportedly include PA President Mahmoud Abbas, PA Vice President Hussein al-Sheikh, and others.
According to the report, the recommended sanctions include limits on the PA officials’ freedom of movement in the West Bank.
The Israeli security officials have also recommended economic sanctions, for example, on goods that their family members import from abroad, the report says.
