Joint Press Release by Palestine Monetary Authority & Association of Banks in Palestine
The Palestine Monetary Authority and the Association of Banks in Palestine express deep concern over the continued flagrant attacks on banks in the Gaza Strip. The most recent aggression was the firing of arms at a bank and at automated cash machines. These attacks followed previous repeated threats that the PMA warned of in an earlier statement.
In response, the decision has been taken to close all banks operating in Gaza today in protest against this serious and unprecedented development.
