Trading with Illegal Settlements

by | September 17, 2025 | Business & Economy, Reports on Palestine

As humanitarian, development, human rights organisations and faith-based organisations, many with a presence in the Occupied Palestinian Territory and Israel, we witness daily the devastating impact of the settlement economy on the Palestinian communities we work with.

Born a Christian and breastfed by a Muslim, Dr. Harb embodies the best of both traditions. If you are from my generation or older in Palestine, you know and respect the person even if you have never crossed paths with him.
