Israel Blocks Construction of International Forces Base in Gaza

Israel is obstructing the construction of a base for international stabilization forces in Gaza, part of a US settlement plan. Israeli authorities have withheld permits, preventing an American company from building the 150-soldier facility. A source told The Guardian that Gaza's reconstruction is impossible without these forces, citing difficulties in delivering equipment and installing systems. Approval is reportedly expected after the October 27 Knesset elections.

Dollar Hits Six-Month High Against Shekel Amid US Inflation Fears

The US dollar climbed to a six-month peak against the Israeli shekel on Thursday, surpassing 3.10 shekels due to falling Wall Street markets. This decline was triggered by US inflation data showing a 3.7% rise in September, exceeding forecasts. Israeli institutional investors are selling dollar assets and buying shekels, further weakening the local currency. The euro also strengthened against the shekel.
