Extensive property damage and destruction resulted and a temporary relief camp was sheltering approximately 1,450 people. West Bank: − The PA health sector strike continues for more than one month in the West Bank. Employees of the health sector staged a sit-in in front of Alia Governmental Hospital in Hebron to protest the government’s inability to pay employees’ salaries. In Bethlehem, all municipality workers went on a one-day strike to protest non-payment of their salaries over the past four months. − Clashes at Qalandiya checkpoint (Jerusalem) have occurred on a regular basis on Friday afternoons following the construction work by Israel at the Mughrabi gate in the Old City area. This week, Palestinians threw Molotov cocktails and stones at IDF soldiers who responded with live rounds injuring one Palestinian. Gaza Strip − 18 homemade rockets, three of which detonated in a Palestinian area, and a Rocket Propelled Grenade (RPG) were fired at an IDF observation post east of Al Maghazi Camp. -
Ground to a Halt, Denial of Palestinians' Freedom Of
Since the beginning of the second intifada, in September 2000, Israel has imposed restrictions on the movement of Palestinians in the West Bank that are unprecedented in scope and duration. As a result, Palestinian freedom of movement, which was limited in any event, has turned from a fundamental human right to a privilege that Israel grants or withholds as it deems fit. The restrictions have made traveling from one section to another an exceptional occurrence, subject to various conditions and a showing of justification for the journey. Almost every trip in the West Bank entails a great loss of time, much uncertainty, friction with soldiers, and often substantial additional expense. The restrictions on movement that Israel has imposed on Palestinians in the West Bank have split the West Bank into six major geographical units: North, Central, South, the Jordan Valley and northern Dead Sea, the enclaves resulting from the Separation Barrier, and East Jerusalem. In addition to the restrictions on movement from area to area, Israel also severely restricts movement within each area by splitting them up into subsections, and by controlling and limiting movement between them. This geographic division of the West Bank greatly affects every aspect of Palestinian life.

The Political Economy of the Second Palestinian Intifada Through the Lens of Dependency Theory and World Systems Analysis
The Political Economy of the Second Palestinian Intifada through the Lens of Dependency Theory and World Systems Analysis By David Borzykowski A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of The University of Manitoba In partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of MASTER OF ARTS Department of Political Studies University of Manitoba Winnipeg Copyright © 2010 by David Borzykowski 1 Abstract In the midst of the chaos and the violence of civil-ethnic conflict, there is often little attention paid to the economic consequences which endure long past the moment of crisis. In conflicts that end in situations of prolonged occupation of one national group over another, complex and enduring dependencies tend to develop between occupier and occupied. Since the Israeli occupation of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip in 1967, the Palestinian economy has grown highly dependent upon the Israeli economy and has developed within the confines of Israeli military power. When the second Palestinian Intifada (uprising) broke out in September 2000, the Palestinian economy suffered even more. This paper discusses the Palestinian economy through the framework of dependency theory and world systems analysis. Both theories are used in order to explain the complex relationship between Israel and the Palestinians and the relationship of dependence that has been perpetuated by Israel since the signing of the Oslo Agreement in 1993. i Acknowledgements I would like to thank my advisor Dr. Tami Jacoby for all of her help and guidance over the years. I would also like to thank my parents, Brenda and Abe, and my brother and sister-in-law, Bryan and Lainie, for all the continued support and for always being there for me. -

An Update on Palestinian Movement, Access and Trade in the West Bank and Gaza
World Bank Technical Team Report, August 15, 2006 40461 An Update on Palestinian Movement, Access and Trade in the West Bank and Gaza Summary Public Disclosure Authorized Background This paper provides an updated assessment of movement and access for goods and people in WBG1, which was initiated by the World Bank after the December 2004 Ad Hoc Liaison Committee Meeting when all parties (including the Government of Israel and the Palestinian Authority) agreed that Palestinian economic revival was essential, that it required a major dismantling of today’s closure regime and that closure needed to be addressed from several perspectives at once. In today’s environment of confrontation and heightened risk, movement and access controls have increased and earlier relaxations have been reversed. However, the relationship between Palestinian economic revival and stability and Israeli security remain unarguable and of fundamental importance to both societies’ well-being. Recent initiatives by US-security advisor General Dayton to significantly enhance the security of the Karni crossing between Gaza and Israel in order to ensure an efficient and predicable corridor for trade recognizes this relationship. Public Disclosure Authorized Movement of goods Between Gaza and Israel Growth prospects for the West Bank and Gaza depend critically on its openness to trade. Prior to the Intifada, the flow of cargo into and out of Gaza was largely determined by market demand, with most cargo moving in convoys or through the (then) relatively simple Erez crossing. Today, all cargo flows between Israel and Gaza must be channeled through the Karni crossing point. From a low base of only 43 export trucks per day in the six months prior to the Israeli disengagement from Gaza, actual daily export numbers through mid-June 2006 have fallen to less than 25 trucks a day.
