Tel Aviv, MINA – The Israeli government has revoked the travel permit of Palestinian Foreign Minister Riad Maliki so that he can no longer travel abroad for a while.
Some observers said the decision was taken by Israel as part of an effort to put more pressure on the Palestinian Authority and its people, Wafa reported.
Meanwhile, Riad Maliki said he had just returned from attending the inauguration of Brazilian President Lula da Silva.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the action was taken in anticipation of the movement of Palestinians who were seen as extremists.
