Summary: | In its report to the September 22, 2008
meeting of the Ad Hoc Liaison Committee (AHLC), the World
Bank noted that the Palestinian Authority (PA), Israel, and
the international donor community made some progress on the
three parallel conditions for Palestinian economic revival,
albeit to different degrees. The report notes the dramatic
impact of Israel s recent three-week offensive in Gaza and
analyzes the variety of recovery and reconstruction schemes
being explored by the donor community. We find that these
have not yet led to any significant impact on the ground due
to the continued closure imposed on Gaza. The devastation in
Gaza, coupled with a fluid political environment in both the
PA and Israel, has made it necessary for this report to
revisit the fundamentals of donor support to the PA in view
of the long-term goal of establishing an economically viable
Palestinian state independent of external aid. Examination
through this lens reveals a fundamentally flawed picture. |
