The Socio-Economic Situation in Palestine in the Face of the Conflict with Israel

Summary/Abstract: This article analyses the socio-economic conditions of Palestine in the context of the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict, focusing on the period preceding and during the latest military confrontations. The research underscores the extensive impact of the conflict on Palestine’s economy and social fabric, highlighting the economic collapse caused by infrastructure destruction, trade restrictions, and an increasing unemployment rate, particularly among women and youth. A historical overview of the conflict is provided, with emphasis on key economic indicators such as GDP, inflation, and unemployment, drawing from both domestic and international sources. Despite brief periods of economic growth, Palestine remains heavily dependent on international aid and trade with Israel, creating significant vulnerabilities during conflict escalations. The study identifies critical social issues exacerbated by the conflict, including widespread poverty, deteriorating education, and inadequate healthcare. The analysis further points to the increasing humanitarian crisis in Gaza and the West Bank, where limited access to essential services and rising displacement are fueling radicalisation and social unrest. The paper concludes with a discussion on the necessity of international intervention and sustainable economic strategies to rebuild the Palestinian economy and mitigate the long-term social consequences of the conflict. This research fills a gap in the current geopolitical discourse by shifting focus from military strategies to the pressing socio-economic realities of Palestine, offering a comprehensive assessment of the conflict’s broader implications.
