Israeli officials: Jordan hanging by a thread - Israel News, Ynetnews

While Israel continues to push for a resumption of peace talks, it is also increasing threats on the PA to stop its unilateral campaign. State officials told Ynet that Jerusalem is considering causing significant damage to the Palestinian economy in light of its great dependence on Israel in the labor and commerce fields.

The US has already threatened Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad and President Mahmoud Abbas to cut financial aid if they promote unilateral moves.
