Supply-chain Risk Briefing

1) Summary On March 14, 2025, clashes occurred between Palestinian anti-settlement protesters and Israeli forces in Kafr Qaddum in the Qalqilya area of the West Bank. Israeli forces used tear gas and stun grenades to disperse the protest, but there were no casualties, and this is classified as a low-risk incident.

2) Supply-chain impact

• Direct impact on major logistics routes or industrial facilities is limited due to localized protests within the West Bank
• The Qalqilya region is located along the Palestinian-Israeli border with agriculture as the main industry, lacking large-scale manufacturing or logistics hubs
• Immediate supply-chain disruption risk is low as there have been no casualties or infrastructure damage to date
• Possibility of frequent similar small-scale protests under ongoing political tensions

3) Watch points

• Monitor whether anti-settlement protests spread within the West Bank and observe trends in scale escalation
• Verify checkpoint operations in Israeli-Palestinian border areas and whether logistics transit restrictions occur
