RAMALLAH, West Bank (AP) — The economy in the West Bank is teetering toward collapse as Israel maintains a web of restrictions that limit opportunities for Palestinians living under long-term military occupation, according to a new report from a leading conflict tracker.
The International Crisis Group says that Israeli measures restricting movement, withholding revenue and taking land are not only crippling the Palestinian economy but also fueling deep instability.
"The economic conditions necessary for any Palestinian future other than permanent subjugation are being dismantled," it says.
