מה קרה
- 01Smotrich has blocked legislation creating a government entity to manage Palestinian banking transactions for four years.
- 02The stalled reform aims to prevent terror financing and maintain Israeli control over Palestinian imports and utilities.
- 03Without the reform, Israeli banks face legal risks under the US Taylor Force Act and may lose global banking ties.
- 04Repeated short-term indemnity extensions have become political bargaining chips tied to settlement funding.
- 05Banks may sever ties with Palestinian banks independently, causing major financial disruption.
- 06The issue remains under the Finance Ministry despite its security nature, raising questions about government responsibility.
The stalled reform is a security measure endorsed by Netanyahu's government to prevent terror funding through Palestinian banks. Without it, Israeli banks face legal and financial risks, and the Palestinian financial system risks collapse. Smotrich’s obstruction politicizes the issue, endangering Israel’s banking sector and foreign trade clearance.
