With the Bahrain workshop, the Trump administration is relying on the same old Oslo model of economy before politics. What needs to be done is to hold Israel accountable. By Sam Bahour After 52 years of Israel’s military occupation of Palestine, there is a fact that cannot be brushed aside: Israel is addicted to the…

Palestinians need a state, not a ‘business plan’
Jared Kushner believes the first stage to peace is investing capital in Gaza and the West Bank. But just how far can that investment go when Israel is determined to maintain full control of and exploit every aspect of the Palestinian economy?

A one-state solution would bring economic disaster
A one-state reality won’t likely affect the top tiers of Israeli society. Yet those near bottom of the ladder will inevitably face an economic nightmare. The only solution is for both Israelis and Palestinians to have their own functioning nation states. By Omri Eilat Since the 2015 elections, there has been a growing number of campaigns…

There’s nothing ‘pro-Israel’ about the UNSC vote — and that’s a good thing
The Israeli Left was quick to praise the UN Security Council’s resolution against the settlements, arguing that it was ‘good for Israel.’ As usual, the Palestinians were left out of the equation. Ever since the United Nations Security Council passed a resolution condemning Israeli settlements last Friday, the Israeli Left has, for the most part,…

How every Israeli profits from the occupation
Israel’s government, economy and citizens regularly exploit everything they can from the West Bank, leaving the Palestinians the bare minimum for survival. If Israelis want change, they’ll have to come to terms with reality. Contrary to popular belief, the boycott is not the greatest threat facing Israel, at least not at the moment. However, now…

‘Dad’s in prison’: A young Palestinian woman speaks
I teach writing at a Palestinian university in the West Bank. Several of my students have been gracious enough to share their experiences with +972, albeit anonymously. This is the first of four short essays. It was a sunny day. I woke up at six o’clock to get ready for my new life because it…

When security isn’t enough: Separating Gaza and the West Bank
When the Dutch prime minister offered a way to safely transport goods from Gaza to the West Bank, Prime Minister Netanyahu made sure to put the kibosh on the plan. Why? Because.

Palestinian employment in Israel and settlements: Restrictive policies, abuse of rights
The high rate of unemployment in the Palestinian territories and the gap in wages and quality of life between the Israeli and Palestinian economies have led to a constant supply of Palestinian workers seeking work with Israeli employers, since the occupation of the West Bank and Gaza Strip began in 1967. The number of workers…

Spotlight: The Paris Protocol and the Palestinian economy
‘There is no denying that we are a part of Israel’s economy. If Israel raises the price of cigarettes, our cigarette prices go up. If the price of gas goes up, so does ours. If things are expensive in Israel, they are expensive here too.’ In April 1994, Israeli and Palestinian negotiation teams met in…

The Palestinian dilemma: Between ideology and reality
Palestinians in the West Bank often face an internal clash between identity, ideology, politics and reality. In truth, they live in a place where making any decision in life is a dilemma. A few weeks ago, on a tour I was leading through the Old City of Jerusalem, I stopped next to a souvenir shop…

Figures on Palestinian food security require closer look
Food security and a healthy economy go hand-in-hand. While the latest data regarding food security seems to suggest that Palestine’s economy is getting better, this article addresses the illusory nature of those numbers and the role international aid plays in propping up the Palestinian economy. At a glance, the latest data regarding post-assistance food security in the…

Are Israelis boycotting Palestinian goods?
Although Israelis spend hundreds of millions of dollars on Palestinians goods each year, these products are usually sold under Israelis labels, since Palestinian-marketed goods are a tough sell. Correction added on 7 March 2012. A video item on the Media Line today tells of a Tel Aviv trade fair designated to help open doors for…
