Watan<\/strong><\/em><\/span>–<\/span>Against the backdrop of an international delegitimization campaign allegedly led by the Palestinian Authority (PA), Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich ordered the cancellation of legal protection\u2014known as “Indemnification”\u2014previously granted to Israeli banks that transfer funds to Palestinian banks in the occupied territories.<\/p>\n

According to Israel\u2019s public broadcaster, this move could severely destabilize financial ties between Israeli and Palestinian banks, especially in the West Bank. The cancellation of the indemnity mechanism is expected to significantly slow financial transfers from the PA, which could deeply impact the Palestinian economy and its institutions.<\/p>\n

The indemnification mechanism was initially implemented to protect Israeli banks from legal risks\u2014both domestic and international\u2014linked to accusations of financing hostile entities. Without this legal shield, Israeli banks may reconsider working with Palestinian financial institutions, fearing lawsuits.<\/p>\n

Sanctions on Smotrich Spark Financial Retaliation, Risking Collapse of PA-Israel Banking Ties<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Sources in Israel\u2019s Finance Ministry claim the step was taken in retaliation for the PA\u2019s global campaign against Israel and in the wake of sanctions imposed by five countries\u2014Britain, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Norway\u2014on Smotrich and National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir. These sanctions were imposed due to what was described as their \u201cextreme and inhumane\u201d remarks about Gaza.<\/div>\n

The UK is set to impose sanctions on Israeli ministers Itamar Ben Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich, including asset freezes and travel ban<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A joint statement from the foreign ministers of the sanctioning nations explicitly accused Smotrich and Ben Gvir of fueling violence against Palestinians and reaffirmed their support for a two-state solution. The UK\u2019s Times<\/em> reported that the sanctions include asset freezes and entry bans.<\/p>\n

This financial and political move could ignite a new phase of tension between Israel and the PA, especially given the heavy reliance of the Palestinian economy on Israeli financial channels. Reports citing sources close to Smotrich suggest that further escalations are coming, including halting all clearance revenue transfers\u2014funds that account for nearly 70% of the PA\u2019s income.<\/p>\n

Economist Mohammad Abdullah Khabisa explained that the indemnity system was critical to maintaining Israel-PA banking ties. In 2023 alone, it covered transactions worth over 53 billion shekels. He emphasized that without such protection, both Israeli and Palestinian banks could face legal jeopardy\u2014especially from lawsuits filed by dual-national Israeli citizens in U.S. courts.<\/p>\n

Two Israeli banks\u2014Discount and Hapoalim\u2014currently manage all official financial channels between Israel and the Palestinian Authority. These include transfers for taxes, electricity, water, and cross-border trade.<\/p>\n

Experts Warn: Israeli Moves Aim to Dismantle PA and Erase Path to Palestinian Statehood<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Khabisa warned that while the Palestinian banking system won\u2019t collapse immediately, the PA government itself will be unable to receive clearance revenues or process payments for vital public services, potentially causing severe disruption in goods and service supplies across the West Bank.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Israeli affairs expert Ismat Mansour warned that Smotrich and Ben Gvir will use the sanctions as part of their domestic political campaigns, escalating their rhetoric and actions against the PA. He stressed the need for sanctioning countries to balance their actions with efforts to prevent the collapse of the Palestinian Authority.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Expert Mohammad Abu Allan noted that dismantling the PA has been a goal of Netanyahu\u2019s current government, particularly through Smotrich and Ben Gvir. Their strategy, he said, includes land confiscations, settlement expansion, and territorial fragmentation to destroy any viable path to Palestinian statehood.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Abu Allan also revealed that recent Israeli media reports have confirmed unofficial talks between U.S. and Israeli officials\u2014including Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer and West Bank settlement leader Yisrael Gantz\u2014discussing a partial annexation plan for 65% of the West Bank, leaving the rest in fragmented Palestinian cantons.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
He added that this political vision has been accompanied by Israeli military operations aimed at reasserting control over Jenin, Tulkarm, and refugee camps, transforming them into urban extensions of nearby cities\u2014effectively erasing their refugee identity and political significance.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n
