Paradoxul banilor inutili: Seifurile de la Ramallah plesnesc de cash, dar economia moare • Newsweek România

The banking system in the West Bank is collapsing due to an excess of cash, with banks holding over 6 billion shekels. Israel has stopped accepting these funds, citing terrorism concerns, leading to a liquidity crisis that hampers payments and trade. Palestinian businesses are unable to access credit, and cash deposits are being refused, causing significant economic strain. The situation poses security risks as large cash reserves become targets for crime. International pressure is mounting for Israel to restore financial flows to prevent a humanitarian collapse.
