Resumen
Descripción
The World Bank analyzed the logistics of
trade corridors from Gaza through Egypt as an alternative to
sending exports via Israel. This paper extends this work and
examines the viability of different trade routes from the
West Bank. Another earlier paper describes the complex
agglomeration of physical obstacles, administrative barriers
and permit policies that Israel uses to restrict movement in
the West Bank. This paper also builds on this work by
quantifying some of the resulting costs. West Bank
enterprises have essentially two options to access the world
market: (a) out through Israeli ports or airport; and (b)
across the Jordan River and out through Jordan ports or
airport. While, it is also possible to send goods across
Israel and through Egypt, this route is currently uneconomical.
