BC-ML--Israel-Palestinians
RAMALLAH, West Bank (AP) — The Palestinian premier is calling on his people to boycott Israeli products.
Palestinian Prime Minister Salaam Fayyad told reporters Sunday the boycott is to protest Israel's withholding of funds to the cash-strapped Palestinian Authority.
Israel is holding $100 million in taxes it normally transfers to the Palestinians. It cut off the funds after the Palestinians won upgraded recognition at the United Nations last month. Israel says the move undermines negotiations.
