What is the ruling on working for an Egyptian shipping company that exports various goods to Palestinian ports administered by Jews, knowing that the importers are Palestinian Arab Muslims, and is it permissible to use Jewish shipping companies to clear customs procedures and transport goods within Palestine due to the absence of Arab Muslim companies?
