times, and over the years met a
dozen times with Arafat.
In its close to four years of ex-
istence, Builders for Peace lent a
hand in launching a few projects,
though even their ultimate suc-
cess is not certain. The showpiece
project is the Gaza Marriott Ho-
tel and Business Center, an $80-
$100 million project on the
Mediterranean coastline.
DeSutter credits the incredible
tenacity of Arab-American archi-
tect Ziad Karram for keeping the
project alive, despite constant set-
backs. Ground was broken in
March and Levine is "cautiously
optimistic" that the complex will
be completed.
A group of upscale condomini-
ums have been built in Rarnallah.
In different stages of development
are a Culligan zboalect water plant
jeridio and a factory for man-
ufactu-ing pre-cast concrete wails
for the construction of modular
houses.
Put together, it is not an im-
pressive track record, especially if
contrasted to the high hopes and
goals at the beginning.
Who is to blame? All partici-
pants agree that neither the donor
countries nor the U.S. govern-
ment's OPIC came through as ex-
pected and that the lost political
momentum in the peace process
inevitably soured the investment

climate.

After that, opinions are divid-
ed.
Levine feels that the main
stumbling block has been Arafat's
failure to establish a basic legal
and commercial structure for the
Palestinian Authority.
Endemic corruption, bureau-
cratic foot-dragging, huge over-
heads, and the ability of Arafat
favorites to muscle other busi-
nessmen aside, widely reported
by Palestinian and other sources,
presented additional disincentives
for foreign investors.
While ac k nowledging the short-
comings of the Palestinian Au-
thority, Zogby put the burden of
the blame on Israel.
"The Israeli civil administra-
tion may have left, but Israel still
dominates the Palestinian econo-
my," Zogby charged. "Eveiything
has to go through Israeli middle-
men; there is no free market econ-
omy." The biggest distortion in
the Palestinian economy is caused
by frequent closures of the ten-i-
tories, maintained Zogby. Closure
prevents Palestinian laborers from
reaching their jobs in Israel, but
equally damaging, it prevents
Arab businessmen from import-
ing raw materials and exporting
finished goods, said Zogby. "You
can't do business that way," he
added.
Israeli security measures force
trucks to wait in long lines at
checkpoints and border crossings
and make the transport of per-
ishable goods all but impossible,
Zogby argued.
