Main Article Content
Abstract
This study sheds light on the profound impacts of the Second Palestinian Intifada on the economic and social fabric of Palestinian society between 2000 and 2005. The study aims to quantify the Intifada’s effects across various units of the Palestinian community, by analyzing data from the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics and evaluating the dynamics of the impacts. The analyzed result indicated that the crisis exacerbated an existing economic crisis, resulting in deteriorating living conditions characterized by increased poverty and unemployment rates in Palestine. Consequently, Palestinians endured a prolonged excruciating hardship, with household incomes plummeting and the number of individuals living below the poverty line skyrocketing to an unimaginable figure. Unemployment rates surged by more than 27% on average, further exacerbating the socio-economic challenges faced by the Palestinian population.
