The council of Jewish settlements in the West Bank and Golan Heights has launched an international campaign to combat the global boycott (BDS), through promoting products made in factories at the settlements.
This campaign is based on the presence of 30,000 Palestinian workers in settlements.
Jordan Valley Regional Council Head David El Hayani, who is also the head of the committee supervising the campaign, said that the BDS succeeded in influencing the selling of products in Europe because of the Muslims' influence there.
Hayani added that he doesn’t seek to cancel the boycott there but wants to stop the deterioration in Europe and find other markets such as the US, Canada, Latin America, Asia, and Africa.
Within this campaign, exhibitions are being held in the West Bank and Golan Heights for products made in Jewish settlements. Commercial delegations are being invited from all over the world.
Europeans are getting shocked when they visit the factories in the settlements and find thousands of Palestinian workers from the West Bank and hundreds of Syrian workers from Golan. Hayani said that these workers get paid double the salaries in their countries and benefit from various social guarantees.
