Collection of World Bank documents, reports, publications, research, and legal records that are relevant to research on Palestine at large, Palestine in US policy, and plans for the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Use key terms “West Bank and Gaza” to find pertinent materials. The US played a leading role in the World Bank’s founding in 1944, and according to the World Bank Group site, the US is the “only World Bank shareholder that retains veto power over changes in the Bank’s structure,” and consequently “plays a unique role in influencing and shaping development priorities.” With this in mind, World Bank documents and reports on the West Bank and Gaza provide a picture into Washington-approved economic plans for Palestinians, the impact of the so-called “peace process” and Oslo Accords, US-Israel economic ties, and more.
