Palestinian Economy Benefits from Netanyahu Action

by Eric on June 30, 2009

Benjamin Netanyahu said that a true peace can only come if the Palestinians are self sufficient and live in a strong economy. His first steps to seeing that through came when Israel removed dozens of security checkpoints around Judea and Samaria.

The head of the Jenin Chamber of Commerce is reporting that Israelis, mostly Israeli Arabs, are flowing into the city. Restaurants are full and shops are busy. Israelis are taking advantage of the lower prices and Palestinians are taking advantage of Israeli wealth.

It seems that Bibi is on the right track here. Too bad Hamas doesn’t want Gazans to live in a healthy economy.
