Abstract
AbstractForeign aid has played a significant role in providing relief for the Palestinian people — particularly since the signing of the Oslo Peace Accord. This article focuses on the period after January 2006 and argues that aid has been used punitively with the aim of isolating and removing Palestinian political elites not regarded as 'partners for peace'. The 'partners for peace' paradigm has three elements: first, it is an attempt by donors to support who they regard as the 'right' type of Palestinian political elite; secondly, that the 'right' type of Palestinian political elite is defined as those who are willing to 'make peace' with Israel (as defined by Israel and the US); and, thirdly, that those not deemed the 'right' type of political elite have to be marginalized and/or removed. The article concludes by arguing that a new aid agenda should be constructed in pursuit of building a just and sustainable peace.
