The Palestinian economy faces unique challenges due to the ongoing occupation and restrictions imposed by external powers

The West Bank and Gaza Strip have suffered from limited access to natural resources, restrictions on trade, and the expansion of settlements, which have disrupted agricultural and industrial activities

High levels of unemployment and poverty are pervasive, particularly in Gaza, where the blockade has exacerbated economic stagnation and created a dependency on humanitarian aid

Despite these obstacles, Palestinians have demonstrated remarkable resilience by establishing small businesses, local industries, and informal economic networks

International aid, particularly from organizations such as the United Nations and development agencies, has played a crucial role in sustaining the economy

Yet, the long-term growth of Palestine’s economy remains contingent on achieving political stability, lifting restrictions, and creating opportunities for sustainable development.
