According to the International Crisis Group, Israel introduced new economic penalties affecting the West Bank after the Hamas attack in October 2023. The restrictions affect Palestinians’ ability to move around and access funds, against the backdrop of broader controls over borders, commerce and resources.
The sources describe tighter measures that directly affect mobility and access to funds for Palestinians in the West Bank. For someone living in or planning movement within the area, this may make travel and financial arrangements more difficult. The development primarily concerns Palestinian residents of the West Bank and people whose daily life or funds are connected to the territory. Other prospective movers should treat it as a regional risk factor rather than a general rule applying to all foreigners entering Israel.
