Israel has imposed new restrictions on Jenin businessmen denying them entry to its territory (the 1948 occupied lands) before they meet certain requirements.
Chamber of commerce chief Ammar Abu Baker described the new restrictions on Jenin traders as a systematic policy aimed at making things more difficult for them.
Abu Baker added that the Israeli army told the chamber of commerce in Jenin that it would not allow the Palestinians holding commercial permits to enter Israel unless they provide certain documents including a financial statement of eight to ten thousand dollars.
