Head of the Union of Palestinian Consumer Protection Associations Azmi al-Shuyukhi on Saturday said that the Israeli occupation is waging an economic war against the Palestinians.
Al-Shuyukhi said in a press statement that Israeli-backed good smuggling operations in the economic commercial and agricultural sectors significantly doubled in 2018.
He added that Israel protects smugglers and supports them to bring all kinds of goods made in Israeli settlements and the 1948 occupied territories to Palestinian markets with the aim of destroying the Palestinian economy.
