Local authorities in the Gaza sector stated that the ban on the import of Israeli goods has begun to show its impact on the economy. According to them, lifting the ban on products imported from Israel had a negative effect on the economy of the Gaza sector. According to a representative of the Ministry of Economy in Gaza, there has been a noted decrease in business volume associated with all the events occurring since the war. He also stated that the decision of the Israeli chief officer of long-distance communication has worsened the economic situation in Gaza. "The process of importing Israeli goods into Gaza indicates a negative influence on local producers and undermines their sustainability," noted the representative of the ministry.
