"HSBC accused of 'appalling moral cowardice' over blocked Palestinian aid payments",  29th April 2020

British bank HSBC has been drawn into a bruising political row amid mounting anger and concern over its decision to stop processing standing order payments to the Palestinian aid charity Interpal from next month...

A spokesperson for HSBC told Middle East Eye earlier this week: “As part of a global bank, sometimes we may decide to prevent certain transactions, even if they are allowed under local laws. We recognize that some people may be disappointed with this decision, and we’re sorry for any inconvenience it may cause.”/
