Israel's Smotrich cancels waiver allowing Israeli and Palestinian banks to work together
Israel cancelled a waiver on Tuesday t hat had allowed Israeli banks to work with Palestinian ones, threatening to paralyze Palestinian financial institutions, Israel's finance ministry said in a statement. 'Against the backdrop of the Palestinian Authority's delegitimization campaign against the State of Israel internationally, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich has instructed Accountant General CPA Yahli Rotenberg to cancel the indemnity provided to correspondent banks dealing with banks operating in Palestinian Authority territories,' the ministry said. Smotrich had threatened in May 2024 to cut the vital connection between Israel and Palestinian banks in the occupied West Bank in retaliation for the recognition of the State of Palestine by three European countries. The Palestinian financial and banking system is dependent on the regular renewal of the Israeli waiver. It protects Israeli banks from potential legal action relating to transactions with their Palestinian counterparts, for instance in relation to financing terror. In July, G7 countries urged Israel to 'take necessary action' to ensure the continuity of Palestinian financial systems. It came after US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen warned that 'to cut Palestinian banks from Israeli counterparts would create a humanitarian crisis.' The overwhelming majority of exchanges in the West Bank are in shekels, Israel's national currency.

Partnerships, strategic deals drive next era of Saudi entertainment
Momentum built over three days at the SEA Expo 2025, held from May 20-22 in Riyadh, as partnerships progressed, discussions deepened, and the region's entertainment priorities commanded the program for the day. Now in its seventh edition, the Saudi Entertainment and Amusement Expo has proven itself as a strategic anchor for the global entertainment business. With participation from 36 countries — including Saudi Arabia, the UK, the US, Germany, and the UAE — the SEA Expo continues to attract the industry's decision-makers as they look to tap into Saudi Arabia's fast-expanding leisure and attractions market. SEA Expo provides direct access to trade intelligence, partnership opportunities, and practical insights. At the center of SEA Expo is the SEA Summit, which has the generous support of leading sponsors BAAN Holding, Al-Othaim, RWS Global, Storyland Studios, RC Almana, and TAIT. In this focused arena, this year's sessions explored immersive technology, artificial intelligence, esports, and the design of sustainable, future-ready entertainment destinations. Further to this, a key highlight of the summit was the compelling opening keynote panel, 'Partnership in Practice: Building Saudi's Next Entertainment Hubs,' where public and private sector leaders explored how new investments shape the physical and creative landscape of Saudi Arabia's next-generation venues. The strength of SEA Expo 2025 is reflected in its industry backing, with sponsors invested in realizing the region's entertainment ambitions. The show days also saw the signing of several significant agreements that will strengthen the country's entertainment infrastructure, including: • Mack Rides, SPARKS, and Fawasel are finalizing an exclusive sales agreement that will enable the delivery of advanced amusement rides across the Kingdom. • INFINIA and BLOCKS signed a memorandum of understanding to co-develop digital theming, smart experiences and immersive design for public and private environments. These partnerships reflect the sector's continued movement toward tailored, high-impact solutions and long-term project development, bringing both international expertise and local insight into alignment. Sarkis Kahwajian, associate vice president at dmg events, said: 'SEA Expo is an important working platform, and it continues to deliver on its purpose: bringing together the right people to move from vision to implementation. The outcomes we're seeing here will define the next phase of growth.' Co-located with the Saudi Light and Sound Expo, SEA Expo is supported by the Kingdom's General Entertainment Authority and the Ministry of Investment of Saudi Arabia, indicative of its direct alignment with the Kingdom's Vision 2030 objectives — building a globally competitive entertainment sector, expanding employment opportunities and diversifying the economy through leisure and tourism.
