Dopad konfliktu Izrael–Hamás na mezinárodní obchod Izraele

This thesis examines the impact of the October 2023 Israel–Hamas conflict on Israel's bilateral trade flows. It aims to quantify the changes in foreign trade and to assess whether they are explained by politically motivated measures, the disruption of maritime routes, or a combination of both. Using monthly UN Comtrade Plus data, it applies a comparative analysis within a symmetric window of fifteen months before and after the shock, at the level of aggregates, partner groups, and sectors. Total exports fell by 7.6 % and imports by 8.0 %. The impact was not primarily political – only the Turkish embargo had a measurable effect, while the largest losses stemmed from the Red Sea logistics shock. Trade in the affected sectors did not disappear but was redirected to alternative suppliers.
