Joint Statement by the Department of State and the Department
of the Treasury on the United States Government’s Response to
Israel’s Cabinet Decision on Extending the Indemnification for
Correspondent Banking between Israel and the West Bank
December 2, 2024

WASHINGTON – The United States welcomes the Government of Israelʼs decision to approve
a one-year extension of its indemnification for Israeli banks, which underpins correspondent
banking relationships with Palestinian counterparts. Economic stability in the West Bank is
essential for Israeli and Palestinian security, and correspondent banking is a key pillar of that
economic stability. The United States appreciates the ongoing engagement with the
Government of Israel and the Palestine Monetary Authority on this matter.
