Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and MK Zvi Sukkot attack the Americans and the banks. Because these are settlers, they claim that this is an illegal move.

The banks have nothing against the settlers. Even if this could harm the status of the system, the Bank of Israel fully backs the banks: "By necessity of their international activity, the banks are required to establish procedures for the use of sanctions lists of foreign countries," the bank says. The Mizrahi Tefahot Bank prevented businessman Roman Abramovich from donating through the bank 8 million shekels to the Zaka organization.
