Original Note:
Order 158 doesn’t prevent building infrastructure, but it does require Israeli approval for projects: https://www.fao.org/faolex/results/details/en/c/LEX-FAOC040435 The result is that new infra is rare. Of $500m spent on water (‘96-‘02), only $30m went towards infra: https://www.boell.de/sites/default/files/assets/boell.de/images/download_de/internationalepolitik/GIP11_Palestine_Karen_Assaf.pdf p.162 This suggests it is a political burden more than a fiscal one.
