Israeli Bond Programme: Central Bank of Ireland

2:00 am

Mr. Gabriel Makhlouf:

The Central Bank believed it was complete even though it made no guarantees on the issue of illegally occupied territories and did not include pertinent relevant information regarding the potential fact that bondholders' repayments could be achieved through an illegally money laundering transaction. Leaving aside illegal money laundering, repayments could be coming from illegally occupied territories. That is a known fact. That is clear. Israel is very clear in its budget lines in how it pays back. Does Mr. Makhlouf not think that was relevant? Does he believe it was complete without that information?
