"Peace between Israel and Palestine could lead to huge financial benefits.
A new study says Israel would gain $123 billion over a decade, while Palestine would gain $50 billion.
Violence would lead to losses of $250 billion and $46 billion, respectively.
The study, conducted by US-based research organization RAND Corp, involved two years of research into the costs of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Some 200 officials were interviewed from the region and elsewhere.
According to the findings, Israel would stand to gain a staggering $123 billion over the course of a decade, if the two sides were at peace.
Meanwhile, Palestine would gain $50 billion.
Unsurprisingly, violence and war would have the opposite impact on the two sides."
