That is part of the plan. Israel destroys Palestinian industries and agriculture. That makes the Palestinians dependent on Israel for employment usually at very low wages.
They should be independent like they were before Israel invaded.
The Palestinian Arabs are more independent now than they ever were before. For the first time in their history, they are free to choose their own government, pass their own laws, represent their own interests around the world and to grow their own economy. That they have failed to provide for political freedoms and protections or to grow a private sector economy is entirely due to the fanatical and corrupt natures of both governments who would lose their access to power and wealth if the Palestinian Arab people were given the chance to develop a peaceful, prosperous democracy.
Not true. The government of march of 2007 is the legal government in Palestine. The US tried to overthrow that government in Gaza and failed. It did, however, set up a US dictatorship in the West Bank. Abbas left the government in June of 2007 and Fayyad has never been the PM in Palestine.
Israel has consistently destroyed any economic infrastructures in the West Bank and Gaza.
Hamas' term in office expired in 2009, and since then they have three times refused to allow the Gaza Arabs participate in new elections when Abbas proposed them. Since 2009, Hamas is just thugs with guns who have no other purpose than to hold on to their access to power and wealth to the great detriment of the Palestinian Arab people.
What you refer to as the economic infrastructure that Israel destroyed are bomb and rocket factories and agricultural fields that provided cover for terrorists trying to fire rockets into Israeli population centers. Hamas is the common enemy of Israel and the Palestinian Arabs, but the Palestinian Arabs have suffered much more from Hamas' policies than has Israel.
