Olive Harvest in West Bank Caught in Crossfire Between Jewish Settlers, Palestinians

No Permission for Palestinians on Main Street in West Bank
Hawara, a town in the West Bank surrounded by Jewish settlements, has become a hotspot for violence since early 2023, with both Palestinians and Israeli settlers being killed.

War leaves thousands of Palestinians unemployed in Israel
The conflict between Israel and Hamas has resulted in the Israeli government, led by Binyamin Netanyahu, suspending work permits for nearly 100,000 Palestinian construction workers from the West Bank and Gaza, as estimated by the Palestinian National Authority. This has caused significant unemployment and economic distress among Palestinians, with individuals like Isa Zeita left without work and income. The construction sector in Israel, represented by figures like Haim Feiglin, is facing a labor shortage and is pressuring the government to issue work visas for foreign workers. The suspension of Palestinian work permits is expected to have severe economic impacts on the West Bank, with predictions of a dramatic drop in consumption and a rise in unemployment to levels similar to Gaza before the war.
