Abstract
This study explores the often-overlooked economic dimension of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, focusing specifically on Israel’s economic domination over the Palestinian territories through the framework of the Paris Protocol. Instituted during the Oslo Process, the Paris Protocol institutionalized and deepened the structural dependency of the Palestinian economy on Israel. The article examines Israel’s multi-layered control mechanisms over the Palestinian economy through customs regulations, labor mobility restrictions, revenue management, and the Joint Economic Committee. It also applies the concept of “de-development” to demonstrate how Israel has systematically undermined Palestinian economic infrastructure as a strategic tool of occupation. The conclusion emphasizes that the Paris Protocol, initially intended as a temporary arrangement, has evolved into a permanent mechanism of economic subjugation, thereby rendering Palestinian economic independence and statehood aspirations nearly impossible.
