The economy in the occupied West Bank is being dismantled, report says
A report by the International Crisis Group states that the West Bank economy is collapsing due to Israeli restrictions on movement, withheld revenue, and land seizures. Palestinian unemployment is 30%, with businesses declining by 50% since the Israel-Hamas war began, and the Palestinian Authority struggles to fund public services as Israel withholds tax revenue.
