UN: Palestinian economy could double without 'occupation' (AP, Sept. 6, 2016)
The U.N.'s development agency estimates the Palestinian economy could be twice as large as it is now if it were freed from Israeli control. [...]The report cites limits on movement, destruction of assets, expansion of Israeli settlements, and confiscation of land, water and natural resources among the "channels through which occupation deprives the Palestinian people of their human right to development."
Ironically, most of its external economic activity will be with Israel.
