Israeli Minister of the Army Naftali Bennett, coordinator of government operations in the Palestinian territories, Kamil Abu Rukan, ordered the immediate cessation of the import of agricultural products from the Palestinian Authority to Israel.
Bennett´s decision was taken after months of repeated attempts by the competent authorities to solve the calves crisis, which led to massive and continuous damage to the livestock sector in Israel and the collapse of hundreds of farms in this industry. According to Bennett´s office statement.
Accordingly, agricultural imports from the Palestinian Authority will be suspended from 06:00 beginning on the morning of next Sunday. According to the statement.
