Impact of Occupation Barriers on West Bank Economy
The Palestinian territories in the West Bank are significantly affected by the Israeli occupation restrictions, which impose checkpoints and barriers on movement between cities and villages. This leads to a decline in economic activity and increased costs. As a result, businesses such as the dairy factory in Nablus have suffered financial losses, distribution trucks have stopped operating, market demand has decreased, and unemployment rates have risen to 46% in 2025. Additionally, movement restrictions impact the import of raw materials, costing the Palestinian economy millions of shekels each month, and threaten to destroy growth and economic development opportunities due to the fragmentation of Palestinian areas and their isolation from each other and the global market.
