(COMMENT)
Almost every country in the industrialized world is experiencing an Increase (COVID 19 Pandemic) in the Poverty Rate. Israel's rate of negative change (increase in poverty) is ≈ 1%, with an overall percentage of poverty at ≈ 2.5% with a general trend downward. It is a very different story in the West Bank & Gaza Strip. We can definitely see a 3% to 4% increase the generalized trend is upward with an overall poverty rate of ≈ 22% in the West Bank & Gaza Strip. Israel had an upward tick in the Unemployment Rate of ≈ 2%, the overall unemployment rate is less than 5% (a slight increase), the unemployment rate in the West Bank & Gaza Strip is greater than 25% and increasing.
Israel's per capita Income drop slightly (corresponding to the slight increase in unemployment) and now stands greater than ≈ $40K with a GDP of ≈ $400B. Whereas the West Bank & Gaza Strip is slightly greater than ≈ $3K with a GDP of ≈ $15B.
There is no question → that the poverty rate is a very important indicator, but it cannot be looked an indicator of health, wealth, and the standard of living. There is a huge gap (ratio-wise) between what the State of Israel accomplishes for its citizens and that of what the Ramallah/Gaza Governments have been able to do. The Israeli poverty rate is 5 times better than that of the West Bank & Gaza Strip.
Most Respectfully,
