Israel has destroyed all financial infrastructure in the Gaza Strip. Out of 94 ATMs, only two remain semi-functional – for two million people.

Just as in its aggression against Lebanon, bombing banks was one of Israel's first orders of business. This is a WAR CRIME, increasingly normalized by media and governments in an unprecedented escalation in the fight against "terrorist financing".

And now? We're now seeing this happen in Iran, with cyber attacks against banks and the Nobitex exchange by the Israeli front Predatory Sparrow.

I don't care whose side you are on, financial infrastructure is *civilian infrastructure*, if you like it or not.

"Under the 1994 Paris Accords, the Palestinian Monetary Authority (PMA), established as the de facto central bank for the Palestinian territories, has been barred from issuing its own national currency."

I had no idea central banks needed permission to issue currency.

Yeah. The treaty gave israel veto power over a Palestinian currency. Occupation is a funny thing, especially when ratified by the UN.
