U.S. President Donald Trump's Gaza peace plan outlines a blueprint for Palestinian statehood, but in the West Bank - where this vision would be realised - the economic prospects for a viable state are being strangled.

The PA has denied allegations of corruption and says Israel wages financial warfare to prevent the possibility of a viable Palestinian state.
