The Palestinian economy forms a fundamental pillar for enhancing national unity and achieving sustainable development. However, it faces complex challenges due to Israeli restrictions and internal division, leading to its fragility and dependence on external aid. Palestinian territories suffer from economic gaps between the West Bank, Gaza Strip, and East Jerusalem due to political and geographic restrictions, Israeli violations, and the blockade imposed on Gaza, in addition to weak infrastructure and internal division, all of which hinder the achievement of stability and growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This paper seeks to address a key issue related to how to achieve effective economic coordination that ensures fair distribution of resources and opportunities, and to explore the policies and reforms required to enhance economic integration despite these challenges. It also aims to invest in international support and attract investments to achieve sustainable development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The paper aims to reduce economic gaps between Palestinian regions by promoting economic coordination, suggesting practical reforms to address the occupation’s restrictions and internal division, developing strategies to attract investments, and utilizing international support. It also presents policies to mitigate the impact of Israeli policies and strengthen the resilience of the Palestinian economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The paper adopts a participatory research methodology and descriptive analysis to study economic indicators, through interviews with economic experts and a roundtable discussion session to evaluate the results and propose policies. It relies on a purposive sample based on experience and applies objective analysis of qualitative data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
