West Bank businesses struggle to import goods

The European Union has summoned the Israeli ambassador to express concerns over settlement expansion plans. It follows similar action by many Western nations, including Britain and France. The diplomatic pressure comes as Israel has withheld the transfer of tax revenue to the Palestinian Authority. Nicole Johnston looks at the fraught economic relations between the two sides.

Their goal is to murder every Palestinian, the IDF. This is simply another form of terrorism.

I used to be an admirer of Israel. Now, I see how much shame they deserve for their despicable behavior.  For your own sake Israelis, change your behavior to save your state.

@Rhea68 First, I don't follow any "religion", I follow Jesus and try my best to follow his Word. I stand up for Israel because God says to, not because Israel is perfect. I'm not blind to their flaws, but I'm also not blind to the outrageous hatred shown to one small country and the outlandish claims leveled aginst them when basically all they're trying to do is keep from being destroyed and exterminated from the face of the earth. Shalom

@johnh23 by the way, neither Abraham nor ishmael started islam. A goofy illiterate named mohamed did that little number like 3000 years later. Lol. And in the end, Israel doesn't get nuked. They remain forever into eternity per scripture. Shalom

Stop arguing about religion you freaks!<speaking to all the people here commenting and arguing about the devil, God and Abraham.

If we can pretty much live in America with all the crazy religions I should think that you 2 should be able to also. Fucking GROW UP already...and Israel - you're behaving like Nazi Germany. Sadly disappointed in you.
