From Bombs to Banknotes: Post-War Economic Revitalization in  Palestinian

• In Event: Looking Towards Peace: Rebuilding the Economy and Political Governance in Lebanon, Syria, the West Bank and Gaza

Abstract

Post-war political and economic recovery is essential to the long-term stability of areas damaged by conflict. By comparing recovery efforts in Europe and Japan after World War II, as well as Vietnam, Iraq, and Turkey, this study looks at strategies for Palestinians' economic restoration after the Gaza war. The Marshall Plan offers a fundamental framework for economic recovery, emphasizing the value of global assistance, institutional readiness, and equitable resource allocation. The purpose of this study is to identify strategies that can inform future policies to support resilience and stability in post-war Palestine by examining the literature on economic rehabilitation and post-conflict social reintegration. The paper finds both of these to be key elements of successful economic rehabilitation.
