Bank Leumi CEO Rallies Public Against Facebook's Alleged Profit from Scams

Bank Leumi CEO Rallies Public Against Facebook's Alleged Profit from Scams

Bank Leumi CEO Hanan Friedman is leading a public campaign against Meta (Facebook), accusing the social media giant of profiting from fraudulent ads that impersonate individuals and financial institutions, causing significant financial harm to Israelis. The bank filed a NIS 26.6 million lawsuit against Meta in August and is now encouraging other victims to join their legal battle. Friedman argues that Meta intentionally allows these scams to continue because they generate substantial advertising revenue, calling it a deliberate business strategy rather than an oversight. The bank seeks stricter verification measures and pre-screening of ads from Meta.

Yaron stressed the need for growth-enhancing reforms and highlighted challenges in reducing debt, funding security, and investing in infrastructure. The central bank raised its economic growth forecast for the year to 5.6% but cautioned that much of this is due to overseas production by Israeli firms.
