Prof. calls for opening of Palestinian borders

By Christina Wray | May 21, 2009

ZACH KUSTER / The Dartmouth Staff Stabilizing Palestine's economy and political system is the only way to halt the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and save the Palestinian people from poverty, Amaney Jamal, an assistant professor of politics at Princeton University, said in her lecture "The Gaza Crisis: How we got here and where do we go next?" held in the Rockefeller Center on Wednesday. Because Palestine's economy is irreversibly linked to Isreal's, peace can only be achieved through the opening of Palestinian borders and subsequent growth of the country's economy, Jamal said. Jamal pointed to the precarious economic situation of the Gaza Strip and the West Bank as a prime source of instability in the region. "Any peace process needs to address the ability of the Palestinian entity to support itself economically," she said. There has been a rapid expansion of poverty in the region since the signing of the Oslo Accords in 1993, Jamal said.
