Also the Israeli economy is barely hanging on at the moment. Because every citizen (who isn't a conscientious objector) is a soldier, and they're calling up so many into the IDF, fewer people are working in the non-Palestinian-controlled territory. They also used to hire Palestinians from the West Bank as cheap labor, but they're not doing that anymore either these days, so that's all gumming up the gears, economically speaking.
