In the midst of the war of constant extermination on GazaThe humanitarian and economic crises that burden the population are exacerbated, and the critical liquidity crisis emerges among the most prominent daily challenges facing citizens since the start of the Israeli aggression on the Strip.
With the scarcity of cash liquidity, the closure of the banks completely due to the war, and the occupation preventing the introduction of money from its inception, along with the practices of some merchants who intend to hide the liquidity in order to achieve additional profits, many are forced to pay high commissions up to more than 30% of the amount to be withdrawn through banking applications, which leads to the depletion of the income of the limited citizens, and reflects negatively on the movement of the market that has been paralyzed almost Total.
In the past days, the commission rate has escalated on cash withdrawals to reach about 45%, and this sparked widespread controversy among the residents of the sector through social media platforms, amid expectations to rise more during the coming days, without indications of close solutions.
“Spring Engineering” and depletion of liquidity
Moghroudoun said that the commission rate is currently 50%, meaning that those who receive a salary or receive a financial transfer of 3 thousand shekels, only 1500 shekels will happen. According to this standard, these 1500 shekels are not actually equal to more than 50 shekels in terms of purchasing power.
The tweeters considered that these practices represent the first point in the series “Programmed Struggle Engineering”, which is completed in the second point through some merchants, in cooperation with the occupation, inserting non -basic and marginal goods into the sector with the aim of withdrawing liquidity and fully sucking from the hands of citizens, to become their cash balance zero.
Others pointed out that these policies aim to make citizens waiting for the free aid distributed by American institutions supported by the occupation, in an attempt to create a preliminary economic dependency that later turns into a political dependency, which is forced to be forced, as part of what they described as “the largest social and political starvation process in the Gaza Strip in modern history.”
Withdraw the currency from the market
Blogans considered that the reason for the commission’s rise in withdrawing money to about 40% is due to the fact that some merchants buy goods from the occupation through “special formats” that are paid in cash, as the value of these payments reaches 6-7 million shekels at once, to buy goods such as mobile phones, cigarettes, coffee and others.
They explained that these merchants are withdrawing the current and valid cash liquidity from the hands of citizens outside the Strip, warning that the percentage is a candidate to rise in the next stage to exceed 50-60%.
The commission of withdrawing the Masari in Gaza reached 40% and could reach 60%.
Whoever became a practical application of Gideon’s plan, who had a starting sheet of shekels from trading in Gaza.

Gideon Saar plan .. Drying liquidity “softness”
In the same context, others considered that what is happening represents the practical application of the plan proposed by the Israeli Foreign Minister, Gideon Saar, two months ago, to cancel the 200 shekels paper from trading in the Gaza Strip.
Despite the failure of the implementation of the proposal directly, the occupation – according to their opinion – resorted to gradually withdrawing it in a soft manner, led to a lack of liquidity, the high prices of basic commodities, and the increase in the percentage of damaged leaves that are not suitable for circulation.
Israel allows the commercial sector to import (limited), provided that costs are paid (cash)
This is a Saar plan, which helps traders, whether with or unintentionally, to implement this plan by collecting liquidity from the sector’s markets and pushing it to the Israeli side, which means that we are facing a suffocating liquidity crisis and an explosion in clouds commissions
Wars within the war

Saar had initiated the plan, before Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed his support for her, describing it as “excellent”, announcing his intention to discuss it with the governor of the Israeli Central Bank.
Saar claimed that this step aims to destroy the economic capabilities of the “Hamas” movement, as it possesses large quantities of this category of currency.
Some of the tweeters pointed out that the cancellation of the 200 shekels paper was directly easier than its gradual withdrawal, considering that the war on the invading citizen is multi -faceted, and is not limited to killing and starvation, but rather aims at permanent attrition and preventing him from feeling comfortable or safe, to be prepared at any moment for the forced displacement scenario.
“Slow killing” with financial deprivation
Activists analyzed that withdrawing cash liquidity from society reflects the conviction of the occupation that the bombing alone is not sufficient to break a coherent society, but he sees in the financial siege a tool to break up social, economic and political relations.
They explained that the occupation seeks to turn Gaza into a disassembled society (a few ownership and a lot asking), and a psychological, psychological society that has no energy on resistance, economically depends on the enemy, and loses its independence in the decision and living.
And they considered that this form of silent war can be called “slow murder in financial deprivation”, as withdrawing the currency is not merely a transient economic measure, but rather a strategic occupying policy aimed at undermining society from within, and turning it into a society that is confident, exhausted and helpless.
They pointed out that if the international parties and humanitarian organizations do not interfere to break the financial blockade, the results will not be limited to poverty, but will reach an existential disintegration of the Palestinian society, the high rates of voluntary exit, begging and selling property in exchange for immigration.
Calls to activate the electronic system
On the other hand, bloggers suggested activating the electronic financial system in the Gaza Strip, by encouraging citizens and merchants to buy their goods and pay their dues through banking applications, in light of the unprecedented rise in the percentage of commission, and organized authorities to withdraw cash liquidity from the market in a systematic way.
They also demanded the maintenance of the banking system and the return of banks ’work, even partially, in addition to replacing worn currencies, and the introduction of cash liquidity into the sector. They emphasized that these steps are essential in alleviating the consequences of the economic war, especially in light of the hunger and chaos accompanying the extermination war.
The bloggers asked about the absence of the intervention of the Palestinian Monetary Authority, and that it did not take actual steps in cooperation with Palestinian banks, to confront the crisis of scarcity of cash liquidity that has been ravaged by the Gaza Strip since the outbreak of the war.
