ABSTRACT

The objective of this study is to examine the economic consequences of the Israel–Palestine conflict on regional trade dynamics, with a specific emphasis on the difficulties encountered by the Palestinian economy. The process includes a thorough examination of current research, the study of economic statistics, and an examination of case studies on trade and aid frameworks such as the Paris Protocol. The findings indicate that the Palestinian economy’s growth is greatly impeded by extensive mobility restrictions, high trade logistics costs, and restricted economic autonomy. Israel experiences significant direct and indirect expenses, a lack of a vibrant trading ally, and dwindling benefits from providing aid for Palestinian stability and poverty alleviation due to these circumstances. The analysis is limited by potential biases in the data that is available and the difficulty in separating economic repercussions from geopolitical concerns. The policy implications indicate that more international collaboration to decrease trade barriers and enhance logistical efficiency could advance economic stability and generate mutual prosperity, so assisting in mitigating the ongoing complexity of the Israel–Palestine issue.
