About Palestine, State of
The State of Palestine is located in the Middle East, encompassing the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. Arabic is the official and primary language. Its economy is largely driven by agriculture, trade, services, and traditional light manufacturing.
The spirits market
Alcohol sales are permitted only in specific municipalities like Ramallah and Bethlehem, while the Gaza Strip and conservative West Bank cities enforce complete prohibitions. Authorized Palestinian businesses can import goods through joint coordination with Israeli Customs, subject to high purchase taxes and a 16% VAT. Local producers focus on arak, brandy, eau de vie, and grappa. Export opportunities remain confined to a small niche supplying select hotels, restaurants, and retail shops.
