The Occupied Al Quds, May 19, SPA -- Israeli sources said that the Israeli Parliament approved the draft law banning the employment of Palestinian workers in the Palestinian territories occupied in 1948 on the grounds that they are illegal residents in Israel. The parliamentary sources said that the Knesset ratified last night the first reading of a bill that provides for extension of interim orders to prohibit the employment of Palestinian workers living in Israel other than the law to provide them with accommodation. It is noteworthy that the Israeli authorities launched a major campaign against Palestinian workers from the West Bank who work in the territories occupied in 1948.--SPA www.spa.gov.sa/665908
