In line with the colonial paradigm of the Israeli occupation, the majority of these costs do not have any relationship with security concerns but rather come from the heavy restrictions imposed on the Palestinians in the access to their own natural resources, many of which are exploited by Israel itself, including water, minerals, salts, stones and land. <strong>Over USD 4.5 billion per year, a full 56% of GDP, is the cost (in terms of both foregone revenues and higher costs of raw materials) for the Palestinians for not being able to access their own resources.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to a September, 2011, report by the Palestinian Ministry of National Economy in cooperation with the Applied Research Institute &#8211;
