The opening as it read in 2025
It has been estimated that olive production accounted for 57% of cultivated land in the Palestinian territories with 7.8 million fruit-bearing olive trees in 2011. In 2014, an estimated 108,000 tonnes of olives were pressed producing 24,700 tonnes of olive oil – which contributed US $109 million in added value to the crop. Around 100,000 households rely on olives for their primary income. The olive tree is seen by many Palestinians as being a symbol of nationality and connection to the land, particularly due to their slow growth and longevity. The destruction of Palestinian olive trees has become a feature of the Israeli–Palestinian conflict , with regular reports of damage by Israeli settlers . In May 2023 a United Nations report stated that some 5,000 olive trees had been vandalised by settlers in less than 5 months. Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics .
