Six prominent Democratic senators cautioned that the West Bank economy faces serious collapse if Israeli banks cut ties with Palestinian financial institutions, according to Shehab Wire. The lawmakers called on the Trump administration to exert pressure on Israel to maintain banking relationships critical to Palestinian economic stability and development.
The senators outlined potential cascading effects from a banking disconnection, warning that severed financial links between Israeli and Palestinian institutions could trigger broader economic deterioration across the occupied territory.
