Episode Details

Caused by a standoff between Israel’s central bank and Palestinian authorities, the crisis stems from Israel’s capped currency returns, which Palestinians say lag behind economic growth.

This isn’t just a financial glitch—it’s a weaponized economic squeeze, threatening to collapse the West Bank’s economy if left unresolved.
