Gazans excited over territory’s new indoor mall – Western-style shopping center targeting middle-class Palestinians is thriving; owners hope it will help change Hamas-run enclave’s image | The Times of Israel
GAZA CITY — In a welcome sign of normalcy, a new Western-style indoor shopping mall — complete with an international retail chain, three-story bookstore and bustling food court — has opened in the Gaza Strip.
The owners have overcome conflict in the enclave, which is ruled by the Hamas terrorist organization, and an Israeli-Egyptian blockade to build the gleaming 1,800 square meter (19,000 sq. feet) Capital Mall. Now, they just have to find enough free-spending customers to keep the place afloat.
