<h4>ISRAELI-PALESTINIAN CORRESPONDENT RELATIONSHIP IN STABLE BUT CRITICAL CONDITION</h4>
<!-- Enter remarks for 08TELAVIV624 here. To quote from the cable use the convention: <blockquote>SOME TEXT...</blockquote> -->
<blockquote>
After Gaza was declared a
"hostile entity" by the GOI in June of 2007, <em>[Israeli banks]</em> Hapoalim and IDB
argued that it was impossible to verify with certainty that
standard banking transactions carried out on behalf of
Palestinian banks in Gaza were not <strong>benefiting a designated
terrorist organization (Hamas)</strong>.
</blockquote>
<p>The problem seems to be a legal one</p>
<blockquote>
The banks' real concern is their liability and court costs in an ongoing
<strong>civil suit against Arab Bank in U.S. courts</strong>. They hoped to
use the correspondent issue and the threat of collapsing the
Palestinian financial system to pressure the GOI and USG to
intervene and force a settlement.
</blockquote>
<p>The history of this legal case is a long chain of "designation by proxy":
<ul>
<li>Hamas [the democratically elected ruling party] gets designated as a terrorist organization</li>
<li>IDF suspects that the Ramallah branch of Arab Bank deals with Hamas, and
<a target="_top" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arab_bank#Israel_Defense_Forces_investigation">confiscates funds</a>
in connection with the investigation.</li>
<li>The investigation "designates" Arab Bank as a "Hamas banker" and serves as ground
to a US lawsuit against the bank by an Israeli group of hundreds of terror victims and their families. <sup>[1]</sup>
</li>
<li>Arab Bank "designates" Israeli banks Hapoalim and IDB as the processors of the
"terrorist transfers" through their correspondent accounts.
The Israeli banks don't believe such claims would stand in court, but they claim that
<blockquote> The <strong>legal fees and demands on human resources</strong> are a serious burden </blockquote>
</li>
<li>Israeli banks threatened to cut ties with Palestinian banks in order to minimize exposure to similar lawsuits in the future.
There's also another reason:
<blockquote>
Instead of fighting in court, <em>[IDB's legal advisor Amnon]</em> Lorch said that IDB
would prefer that Arab Bank settle the case. He implied that IDB's threats to cut off correspondent banking with
Palestinians <strong>were intended to force such a solution</strong>.
</blockquote>
</li>
<li>Gazan economy becomes a victim of "collateral designation"</li>
</ul>
<p>
<sup>[1]</sup> Six years after the raid, the IDF
<a target="_top" href="http://www.haaretz.com/print-edition/news/idf-clears-ramallah-bank-of-terror-involvement-1.284140">formally admits</a>
Arab Bank and/or its employees had no involvement in terror, but the US lawsuit is <strong>still ongoing</strong>
(<a target="_top" href="http://electronicintifada.net/content/arab-bank-mounts-legal-challenge-against-claims-aiding-terror/12598">as of July 2013</a>), running on "designation fume".

<h4>ISRAELI BANK DETERMINED TO CUT GAZA BANKING TIES</h4>
<!-- Enter remarks for 08TELAVIV1508 here. To quote from the cable use the convention: <blockquote>SOME TEXT...</blockquote> -->
<blockquote>
Bank Hapoalim (BH) informed the Bank of Palestine
(BOP) in a July 6 letter that it <strong>will no longer provide it
with cash transfer services</strong>. The decision was made
independent of any consultation with or approval by the GOI
or the Bank of Israel (BOI) and was triggered by a BOP
request for a NIS 25 million transfer in early July.

<h4>TERRORISM FINANCE: GOI SAYS NOW IS THE TIME TO ACT AGAINST THE CENTRAL BANK OF IRAN AND INCREASES ITS FINANCIAL ISOLATION OF GAZA</h4>
<!-- Enter remarks for 08TELAVIV1742 here. To quote from the cable use the convention: <blockquote>SOME TEXT...</blockquote> -->
<blockquote>
Udi Levi <em>[from Israel's National Security Council (NSC)]</em> ...
said that the GOI maintains information to
implicate the CBI <em>[Central Bank of Iran]</em> in 1) transferring money without the use of
Swift to obfuscate the identities of the parties transmitting
and receiving money, 2) planning to purchase undesignated
banks using false names through which it could assist Iranian
enterprise in circumventing sanctions, and 3) <strong>acting on
behalf of designated Iranian banks such as Bank Melli and
Bank Saderat</strong> <sup>[2]</sup> to execute transactions that would otherwise be
prohibited. On the last point, DAS Glaser mentioned that if
any of this activity were occurring in London, such
information could be key to persuading an otherwise highly
cautious UK to take action. The Israelis said that they would
look into that question.
</blockquote>
<p>
<sup>[2]</sup> This is a good example of the "contagious" effect of designation:
Bank Saderat was one of the two Iranian banks <a target="_top" href="http://ukhumanrightsblog.com/2013/02/07/another-iranian-bank-released-by-the-eu-wikileaks-here-as-well/">released by the EU general court</a> in 2013 (in both cases, CableGate leaked cables were
<a target="_top" href="http://wikileaks-press.org/wikileaks-documents-used-in-courts-the-case-of-the-iranian-bank/">accepted by the court as evidence</a>).
At the time, Bank Saderat was designated. This made it possible to accuse CBI of collaborating with it.
</p>
<p>Regarding liquidity in Gaza:</p>
<blockquote>
econoff learned that the BOI and Israeli Defense Forces (IDF)
were operating under a principle of not permitting any
additional liquidity into Gaza.
...
GOI intelligence agencies generally believe that PA salaries paid in Gaza
actually make their way into the hands of Hamas; <sup>[3]</sup> therefore,
the PA argument that the salaries meet the mutually
beneficial goal of bolstering Fatah does not impress the
Israelis. While Israeli officials frequently express their
doubts with regard to PA statistical assessments of the state
of the economy in Gaza, <strong>whether the PA is able to meet its
salary commitments in Gaza appears of little concern to the
GOI.</strong>
</blockquote>
<p><sup>[3]</sup> Note: since
<a target="_top"
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatah%E2%80%93Hamas_conflict#West_Bank:_Fatah_wins_and_establishes_a_separate_government">2007</a>,
PA (at least in the west bank) is Fatah-led, and is considered an ally by both GOI and USG.
It's in their interest [at least officially] to strengthen it and weaken Hamas.</p>

<h4>CASHLESS IN GAZA?</h4>
<!-- Enter remarks for 08TELAVIV2447 here. To quote from the cable use the convention: <blockquote>SOME TEXT...</blockquote> -->
<blockquote>
Israeli officials reject the PA,s argument that denying banks the liquidity to pay PA
salaries in full bolsters the Hamas regime.
While some acknowledge the gains to Hamas from a weakened formal banking
sector in Gaza, they argue that such gains are small relative
to the cost of giving Hamas greater access to shekels or the
economic benefits they bring to Gazans.
</blockquote>
<p>The words "gains" and "cost" are (of course) from GOI's perspective,
but what about the impact of cash shortage on the Gazan in the street?</p>
<blockquote>
Israeli officials have confirmed to econoffs on multiple occasions
that they intend to <strong>keep the Gazan economy on the brink of
collapse without quite pushing it over the edge</strong>
</blockquote>

<blockquote><em>
Given the separation between Hamas and the PMA-regulated private banks,

However, Levi noted GOI intelligence has indications
that Gaza banks are being forced by Hamas to underreport
their true reserve holdings

He posited that the present

consolidate its power in Gaza</strong> though he was vague on how the

<blockquote>
econoff contacted David Zaken,
Assistant Supervisor of Banks and Head of Off-Site
Examination and Licensing at the Bank of Israel (BOI), to
lobby for GOI approval of a transfer of funds to Gaza banks
in March. Zaken told econoff on February 27 that he expects
the Prime Minister's office (PMO) to approve transfer of
approximately 50 million shekels (NIS) to Gaza in response to
the Palestinian Monetary Authority's request for an NIS 254
million transfer to cover March salary and other obligations.
</blockquote>
<p>However</p>
<blockquote>
One possible turn of events that may effect the ability
of the GOI to approve the PMA's request is a High Court
decision on whether to hear a case brought by the Land of
Israel Foundation (LIF) against the GOI after the last
transfer of cash to Gaza. The LIF case <strong>claims that the GOI
acted in a manner contrary to its own Anti-Money
