Israel’s defense chiefs recommend administrative steps to separate Hamas-governed Palestinian areas

February 16, 2006, 10:12 PM (GMT+02:00)

DEBKAfile reports: Thursday, Feb. 16, defense minister Shaul Mofaz and top officials of the national security and military branches assembled a package of recommendations for acting prime minister Ehud Olmert to put into effect.

They advised the following steps to be enforced when Hamas deputies take their seats in the new Palestinian legislative council Saturday, Feb. 18:

1. To annul existing customs accords between Israel and the Palestinians. Israel’s customs authorities will henceforth treat Palestinian imports and exports like any other foreign goods transiting state borders according to tariffs determined in Jerusalem. This will also eliminate any future transfers to the Palestinian Authority.

2. Palestinian workers will no longer be allowed to work in Israel. Tens of thousands will be stopped at Gaza's checkpoints as of Sunday.

3. Israel will cancel all the VIP permits issued to high Palestinian functionaries.

The effect of 2. and 3. will be to bring to a standstill the entry of Palestinians into Israel.

4. Palestinian travel between the Gaza Strip and West Bank across Israeli territory will be banned.

These steps are recommendations. It is up to the prime minister to decide whether to adopt them.
