In his opinion, the main problem with the trade relations was a lack of good will. Gil Feiler, Managing Director, Info-Prod Research, expressed concern about the lack of outside investment in the Palestinian market. Noting the extent of Israeli investment in Jordan, he proposed that Palestinians might consider adopting Jordanian methods to attract investment. The Director-General for International Relations, Ministry of Economy and Trade of the Palestinian Authority, Saeb Bamya, called attention to actions taken by Israelis based on their perception of security considerations. Closure caused innumerable problems for the Palestinians.
Migrant workers are the main feature of the Palestinian economy.
Israeli impositions of closure cause a collapse in the Palestinian economy. Moreover, the Palestinian economy is vulnerable to political and economic decisions taken in the surrounding countries. Palestinians were hopeful after the Paris agreements, but the reality was different. The agreement restricts development and, in fact, the separation with Israel is hypothetical. Any separation means separating the West Bank from Jerusalem.
