December 2, 2024
The United States welcomes the Government of Israel’s decision to approve a one-year extension of its indemnification for Israeli banks, which underpins correspondent banking relationships with Palestinian counterparts. Economic stability in the West Bank is essential for Israeli and Palestinian security, and correspondent banking is a key pillar of that economic stability. The United States appreciates the ongoing engagement with the Government of Israel and the Palestine Monetary Authority on this matter.
