Far more surprising – not to say shocking – are the Bank’s irrelevant and sometimes harmful recommendations, as Al-Shabaka Program Director Alaa Tartir and Guest Author Jeremy Wildeman reveal in this compelling analysis.

What’s Really Going On at Rafah?

Al-Shabaka Commentary
19 September 2012
Laila el-Haddad
