A chapter in The Economic Reconciliation Process: Middle Eastern Populations in Conflict, 2014, pp 99-101 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Political processes take time and are led by a minority (whether elected or not) consisting of people who are not hungry and need not struggle in order to care for their families. At least some of them believe they represent the will of their population. In reality, however, the daily life of the majority of the populations on all sides of the conflict may be becoming worse. In the Middle East, Israel continues to increase its defense expenditures and cannot improve the welfare of large parts of its population. Most Palestinians cannot find jobs or have part-time jobs. In the middle of the 1990s, industrial parks like Karni or Rafiah were planned primarily to employ low-cost labor and provide wealth to a minority of well-established Palestinians and Israelis.
