After sending a humanitarian aid flotilla which resulted in a political crisis with Israel, Turkey has now embarked upon helping the nation financially by way of setting up branches for a number of banks. Speaking to the Maan'a news agency, Palestine Monetary Authority Jihan al-Wazir explained that Turkish banks have expressed an interest in opening branches in the region and that meetings have been held and further information requested.
INSTILLING STABILITY
