The Palestinian National Authority (PNA) canceled a meeting for some states of the Non-Aligned Movement that was scheduled to be held in the West Bank Sunday due to Israeli restrictions, a spokesperson said.

The foreign ministers of Malaysia, Cuba, Indonesia and Bangladesh were barred from entering West Bank to join the meeting, which prepares for the movement's summit that will be held in Iran at the end of this month, said Hassan Balawi, spokesman for the Palestinian foreign affairs ministry.

"We have decided to cancel the meeting in response to the aggressive Israeli decision," Balawi added.

The states of the four ministers who were denied entry by Israel do not recognize the Jewish state. They are also members of Palestine Committee in the Non-Aligned movement.

The Ramallah meeting will seek an agreement on a joint formula to support the Palestinians' bid for upgrading status to non- member observer in the United Nations.
