#IsraelIranConflict The conflict may lead to Israel losing $400 billion over the next decade, experts calculate. For Palestinians, these costs may be so high that they could undermine the possibility of establishing an independent state, experts emphasize. For Israel, 90% of the economic shock will be related to a slowdown in productivity growth. According to experts, the investment climate in the country is already weakened, and the mobilization of the population has led to a shrinking labor market. Palestinian economic activity, in turn, may decrease by one third. This will be caused by the destruction of property, the cessation of the use of Palestinian labor in Israel, and an increase in trade restrictions. In recent years, issues of sovereignty have prevailed over economic ones in public opinion. "However, now the economic difficulties caused by this war, combined with recent political upheavals among both peoples, are likely to change this position. In particular, the urgent need for the Israeli side for new investments and technology transfer, as well as the Palestinians' need for reconstruction, reinvestment, and interaction with the world may give new life to such approaches."
