الاقتصاد الفلسطيني بين الوحدة و محاولات التفكيك : قراءة في الدراسات السابقة

Abstract EN

The problem of this study is specified in identifying the economic reality imposed by the intra- Palestinian division and its impact on the Palestinian situation.

The main objective of the study is restricted in pinpointing the dimension of separating Gaza Strip from the economy as a whole, in addition to the risk it imposes on the Palestinian question as a result of this.

The descriptive analytical approach has been used within identifying the economic development and the stages experienced as well as the state of economic weakness that Palestinian economy faces as a result of the Israeli policies since 1967.

Also, the study indicates the steps taken by the Israeli occupation after the Aqsa Intifada in 2000 which targeted the Palestinian economy and the Israeli plans to dominate Jerusalem in a bid to separate it from the other Palestinian territories and the recurrent aggressions on Gaza to separate it and to create new facts on the ground.

The study addressed the reality of the Palestinian economy, and the potential scenarios.

Israeli strategy, however, is being changed from controlling the economy and make it subordinate to its Israeli encounter to a new strategy represented by dismantling the essential Palestinian economy components to serve the Israeli approach aimed at preventing any possibility of creating the Palestinian State.

The study made clear the risks that will result from separating Gaza from the Palestinian economy.

The best way to confront the Israeli policies is to develop the Palestinian economy and to abandon gradually the relation with Israel and enhance the complementary link between all the Palestinian components from one hand and strengthen the relations between the Palestinian economy and neighboring Arab economy from the other hand, as well as making efforts to recover the transit trade.
