Supply-chain Risk Briefing

1) Summary On March 14, 2025, armed clashes occurred between Palestinian police and militant groups in Illar, Tulkarm region, West Bank. This represents a medium-grade localized incident demonstrating security instability within the West Bank, with limited direct international supply-chain impact.

2) Supply-chain impact

• Direct impact on global supply chains is minimal as the West Bank is not a major international trade route or key raw material production area
• Potential temporary disruptions to small-scale agricultural production (olives, vegetables) and local manufacturing operations in the Tulkarm region
• Risk of logistics delays due to enhanced security at adjacent Israel-Jordan border crossing points
• Concerns over indirect impact on regional energy and logistics networks if Middle East geopolitical tensions escalate broadly

3) Watch points

• Whether similar security incidents spread within the West Bank and changes in intensity of Israeli military response
• Operational status of checkpoints in Israel-Palestine border areas and trends in logistics transit restriction measures
