The Political Economy of Israel's Occupation: Repression Beyond Exploitation

Book by Shir Hever analyzes the economic dimensions of Israel's occupation of the West Bank and Gaza, arguing that it cannot be explained solely by material exploitation but reflects deeper political imperatives of control and dispossession. Hever examines how the occupation is financed, how it shapes Israeli society, and how it generates benefits for specific Israeli sectors while impoverishing Palestinians. A rigorous resource for scholars and students examining the economic logic of Israeli occupation, the financing of military control in the West Bank and Gaza, and the relationship between Israeli political economy and Palestinian dispossession.
