160 resign. But she refused. Her passport and identity card were seized. On the following day and upon arrival at ten in the morning, she was held in the room until three o'clock in the afternoon, and was required to sign the resignation.” B‐ Violating the right to work by flooding the market with products and imported goods and the closure of a number of production facilities: Flooding the market with products and imported goods has contributed to closing a number of facilities and halting a number of projects, such as the footwear, textile and clothing industries in Hebron city, which fell to at least (75%) of the usual production volume. This has led to denying a number of workers from their jobs. For example, the Ministry of the Economy reported that it granted (1,965) import permits in November 2010 alone, for goods totaling (226 million dollars). Also, the Chairman of the Palestinian Leather Industries Federation reported that the “invasion of imported goods to the West Bank markets directed a severe blow to the local industries of which a little has remained. The number of leather workshops and factories in Hebron has become no more than (150) workshops/factories. Also, the number of workers in these workshop and factories has deteriorated to approximately (4,000) workers with low and unstable incomes.193 C‐ Violating the right to work in the government plan: In view of the contents of the government plan called “An Appointment with Freedom” and issued in 2010, and particularly regarding the activities to be undertaken in the employment sector, it is noted that the government efforts made in regard to creating jobs and reducing unemployment and poverty rates in Palestinian society have remained minor and were not given the required degree of attention. Also the plan did not include the priorities set in this regard of the effective procedures that may increase employment, and reduce unemployment and poverty rates. 193 According to Mr. Taher el‐Muhtaseb, Deputy Director of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Hebron, on 17/07/2010 to the Palestine News Network (PNN). Mr. Tariq Abu el‐Filat, Chairman of the Palestinian Federation of Leather Industries told WAFA News Agency on 02/12/2010 that "the invasion of the flood of imported goods to the markets of the West Bank is a decisive blow to local industries… And the number of leather workshops and factories in Hebron has become no more than 150 workshops/factories, and the number of employees dropped to approximately 4,000 workers with low and unstable incomes. He cited the example of the decline in his factory of the number of employees, which dropped from 30 employees to 8. In other words, the decline in the number of workers was close to 75%”.
