Israel leverages Palestinian banks crisis for settlement support

The article discusses Israel's escalation of its policies towards the Palestinian Authority and the West Bank. The Israeli government is working to undermine the Palestinian Authority by financially blockadeing it and restricting its banking relations with Palestinian banks, aiming to support settlers and expand settlements. The measures include Israel extending its banking relations with Palestinian banks despite legal risks, and Finance Minister Smotrich manipulating immunity and compensation statements to serve his interests in expanding settlements. This approach is worsening the Palestinian Authority's financial crisis, as Israel has been withholding tax revenues since 2019, leading to a decline in financial flows and threatening the stability of the Authority. Tensions on the ground are also rising, with clashes occurring in the village of Qusra between Palestinians and Israeli settlers. Additionally, relief work by international organizations has been delayed and restricted due to Israeli checkpoints and restrictions, risking a potential security explosion in the region.
