The Jerusalem Post reports: “Senior Israeli security officials recommended the imposition of sanctions on senior Palestinian Authority officials, Army Radio reported on Thursday morning.

The recommendations follow the recognition of a Palestinian state by a number of countries at the United Nations General Assembly.
