Watch out for Israeli goods 'Made in Jordan'

A joint industrial park is to be established along the Israeli-Jordanian border, giving Israeli companies the ability to tap into Arab markets, as their products will bear the misleading label 'Made in Jordan,' reports Lebanon's Al Akhbar newspaper.
Once these Israeli goods reach other Arab markets, they can be easily re-exported to countries that have no diplomatic ties with the Jewish state.
You can be sure that Israel will try to flood Dubai with its 'Made in Jordan' products.
So we have a situation when Arab states can be used as Trojan Horses by Israel to infiltrate markets that ban Israeli goods.
Arab countries, especially the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), are deliberately dishonest about their relations with Israel.
It's important for the countries that boycott Israel to ask for specific mechanisms to bar Israeli-origin goods with deceptive Arab labels.
As Israelis face growing boycott calls over their occupation of Palestinian territories and brutal subjugation of Palestinians, they will use all sorts of deceptive schemes to enter barred markets.
