Arutz 7 correspondent Haggai Huberman reports that Palestinian economist Omar Shaban had prepared a working paper on the economic gains Gazans could expect from Israel’s planned withdrawal, which he believed would bring access to more natural resources. Speaking at a conference titled “After the withdrawal from Gaza”, organised by a women’s affairs team, Shaban proposed treating the settlements by their components: demolishing private buildings while keeping public buildings and agricultural land for development, placing tourist sites under the management of institutions rather than private individuals, and using the settlements to tackle poverty and unemployment.
