The Challenges
The situation in the West Bank is extremely difficult, perhaps the most difficult since the Oslo Accords. The combination of the very difficult situation of the Palestinian Authority (financial, governance, public trust, etc.) and the deteriorating situation of the private sector may cause an outbreak of violence as a way out of daily frustrations.
It is important to remember that based on the existing challenges, the various terrorist organizations are still trying with all their might to clarify the West Bank, if only to relieve some of the pressure they are experiencing in Gaza.
Know The Field
Know To Coordinate
Coordination with the Palestinian Authority is essential and beyond that it is required to coordinate with the Israeli authorities. However, it is required not to coordinate, but at the very least to find out, the actual needs and situation also with the private sector in its various shades and parts. The West Bank is a large area and has a lot of variation between its many parts and therefore it is necessary to coordinate in each and every area.
Know The Situation
In a broad and strategic view, the impact of the situation in the West Bank on the Palestinian Authority and the Palestinian arena is greater than that of the Gaza arena. Although the situation in Gaza is more urgent, in light of the ongoing fighting there, we should not take our eyes off the West Bank because if the situation deteriorates, it will require more resources and time.
Continued assistance
Continued assistance, expected and in order of priority
In light of the difficult situation in the West Bank and the many and sometimes competing needs in the Gaza Strip, a stable and clear aid plan should be created, even with a leaner than desired, since stability will allow planning and certainty on the basis of which it is possible to continue to stabilize the situation
We Know the West-Bank
Identifying opportunities and the ability to communicate quickly and efficiently with the parties
Once there is an understanding of the situation as a whole and ongoing and regular coordination is carried out with the various players in order to get to know their situation, it is possible to move forward and identify the opportunities that are created or can be created, this while significantly saving resources due to the ability to communicate efficiently and quickly
