The Israeli military has blocked Palestinian agricultural exports.
Palestinians walk next to the Dome of the Rock Mosque in the Al Aqsa Mosque compound in Jerusalem's old city, Friday, Feb. 7, 2020. The Palestinians on Friday rejected U.S. Allegations of incitement after a day of clashes and attacks left three Palestinians dead and more than a dozen Israelis wounded.
Following Defense Minister Naftali Bennett's instruction, the military said it would not allow the Palestinians to transfer their products through their land crossing to Jordan, the West Bank's only direct export route to the outside world. The crisis erupted in September, when the Palestinians decided to stop importing beef from Israel. The Palestinian Authority claimed most of the 120,000 head of cattle they imported monthly from Israel was itself imported and that they therefore preferred to import directly from abroad. The move appeared aimed at reducing the Palestinians' economic dependence on Israel.
