The Palestinian Authority’s financial situation is marked by a deep budgetary crisis, which worsened significantly between 2025 and 2026. The 2026 budget clearly illustrates the extent of the imbalances: public revenues amount to NIS 16.04 billion, while expenditures reach NIS 20.65 billion, generating a deficit excluding external aid of NIS 6.92 billion, or approximately USD 2.31 billion. This structure highlights a persistent inability to align resources with commitments in a highly constrained economic environment.

Since the start of the second war between Israel and the United States against Iran in less than a year, Tehran's strategy of precipitating a rise in global oil prices by blocking the Strait of Hormuz has sidestepped the question of the conflict's potential consequences for the Iranian oil sector.

The war in Iran, triggered on February 28 by Israeli-American strikes, represents a major upheaval for the countries of the Near and Middle East, all of which are affected to varying degrees. Beyond the belligerents, drones and missiles have been intercepted in Jordan and over Syria, Iraqi Kurdistan (particularly Erbil) has been hit by Iranian strikes, and Hezbollah's attack on Israel on the night of March 1-2 led to a conflagration in Lebanon, with heavy attacks on the south of the country, in the Bekaa Valley and South Beirut.
