Israeli checkpoints in the West Bank are choking the Palestinian economy
News Source : Al Jazeera English
News Summary
- Al-Kamel Dairy Factory, established in 2022, has two distribution trucks permanently parked in its yard due to a sharp decline in market demand and mobility issues.
- The reason for this is the proliferation of military roadblocks across the occupied West Bank since Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza began in October 2023.
- These checkpoints were established to maintain Israel's ongoing occupation of the West Bank and to guard Israeli settlements.
- This has coincided with a wave of pogroms by Israeli settlers on Palestinian towns and villages.
