The Palestinian Authority's boycott of Israeli settlements enters a new phase as Palestinian women working in settlements are urged to seek alternative employment.
The PA's Ministry of Social Affairs is calling on all Palestinian women currently working in Israeli settlements to apply for alternative jobs at Palestinian institutions, Ma'an news agency reported on Sunday.
The ministry said it had designed and distributed application forms to all its branches across the West Bank, adding that female workers could commence the process of finding new jobs on Sunday.
"Boycotting Israeli settlements including work and products … is very crucial at this stage of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict to counter Israeli plans to judaize al-Quds (Jerusalem), expand settlements and enforce the separation wall as political border," Minister of Social Affairs Majida al-Masri stressed.
...Approximately 6,000 Palestinian women work in Israeli settlements compared to an estimated 25,000 men, Masri said, stressing that "this phenomenon must come to an end as soon as possible."
