Abstract

The Palestinian uprisings, Intifada, is one of the important milestones in the Palestinian-Israeli dispute. The first one began in 1987 and ended (at least at the official level) in 1993 with the Oslo Accords. The six years of protests affected both Israeli and Palestinian parts. In addition to the international area's criticism for Israel's brutal response, Israel's economy was also affected severely. Even though many Palestinians still criticize the Palestinian Authority for undermining the result of this series of protests, some argue that Oslo Accords are a significant gain for the Palestinians. Without concluding whether the negotiations went well, or Oslo Accords is a gain or a loss, this study argues that the economic aspect of protests was something that led the Israeli part to negotiate and agree with Palestine. This study examines some of the direct and indirect factors, such as the cost of general strikes, a boycott of goods, refusing to pay tax, and the rise in military expenditure.
