Dozens of Palestinians launched today a campaign to boycott products of the Israeli companies.
The campaigners call on also to deny the Israeli merchandise to the local Palestinian markets in the West Bank and other territories.
Representatives of various Palestinian factions and popular committees took part in a press conference held Tuesday in the western part of Ramallah, a de facto capital of the Palestinian Authority in the occupied West Bank.
The National Committee for Preventing Products of the Occupation from Entry to Palestinian Markets” sponsored that campaign.
The activists handed over flyers to merchants, retailers and truck drivers to ask them not to import from Israel.
They pointed out that the national products may be an alternative to those fetched from the occupying state.
The campaign goes with a decision made by the Palestinian leadership last month to reduce dependence of the Palestinian economy on the occupation .

President Mahmud Abbas, Chairman of the Palestinian Authority (PA) decided on July 25 to freeze all treaties signed with Israel and reconsider relations with Tel Aviv at all levels.
The Palestinian activists call their people to support that campaign to deepen culture of boycotting the Israeli goods to become a life style and a daily program.
They affirmed that the campaign seeks to respond the aggressive practices of the occupation.
It is worth to mention that Israel continues to be the Palestinian Authority’s largest trading partner, and this in-depth study finds considerable potential for greater economic cooperation. This is one of three papers detailing Israel’s trading relationships, alongside others looking at relations with Jordan and Egypt.
The Palestinian economy is overwhelmingly dependent on Israel. At the same time, the ongoing conflict with Israel has a huge economic cost on the Palestinian economy—in both the West Bank and Gaza. This cost is particularly stark when compared with the considerable economic benefits that Egypt and Jordan achieved after signing peace treaties with Israel.
