Israel Revokes Travel Permits for Palestinian Foreign Minister 
---------------------------------------------------------------

Israel's new far-right government has revoked entry permits for
Palestinian Foreign Minister Riyad al-Maliki and three Fatah officials
in retaliation for their effort to bring the illegal occupation of
Palestinian territories to the International Court of Justice. This is
Palestinian Foreign Ministry adviser Ahmed Al-Deek.

Ahmed Al-Deek: "These measures will not stop us and will not stop the
foreign minister and the Palestinian leadership from continuing our
political and diplomatic legal efforts to protect the fair national
legitimate rights of our people and to uncover the violations and the
crimes of the occupation."

Israel's Security Cabinet also moved to withhold $39 million in revenues
from the Palestinian Authority and imposed a moratorium on Palestinian
construction projects in the occupied West Bank.
