GUIDE FOR JOURNALISTS REPORTING ON THE PALESTINIAN ECONOMY

(last updated Aug. 10, 2024)

Journalists from around the world are covering the Trump administration’s announcement of the June 25-26, 2019 “Peace to Prosperity” economic workshop in Bahrain. The nonexhaustive list below is provided to assist journalists to connect with representatives of various entities who can authoritatively speak about the Palestinian economy or the various aspects thereof. The information provided is all public information. Sadly, not all those listed have an English website and many may not speak English. Journalists are encouraged to engage translators where need be and not rely solely on sources who speak English, or who may be easily accessible.

Journalists are strongly encouraged to purchase the decisive directory (English) on Palestine from PASSIA at any bookstore in Palestine.
