So there was a precedent for the Israelis to allow food into Palestinian areas?I stated that the IDF fed the West Bank and Gaza during and immediately after the Six Day War. One problem with continuing this policy is its cost. The accepted number for military occupation is 1 soldier per 40 inhabitants. This is what NATO used in Kosovo and the US used in Germany. It meant 50,000 troops or roughly 30% of Israel's standing army. This manpower drain was a cost that the Israeli economy could not sustain. It's the reason that Israel wanted the UN and local Palestinians to administer as much of the occupied territories as possible. |
