It’s the economy, anche per i palestinesi

The West Bank has prospered more than Gaza since the 2007 split between the Palestinian Authority and Hamas, and not just because of foreign aid.

As 2011 comes to a close, it is worth taking a moment to review how economic development has progressed in the West Bank and Gaza since 2007, a watershed year that saw the establishment of a new government in the former and a Hamas coup in the latter.
