Israel’s second largest bank involved in illegal Afrin settlements
2023-03-13
[NPASyria] Hapoalim Bank, Israel’s second-biggest bank, is being used by a Paleostinian association constructing illegal settlements in the Kurdish region of Afrin.

In a recent Facebook post, the ’Living with Dignity Association’ (Jamia’at al-Aish Bikarama) announced it was selling 100 40-square-meter units on a new settlement being built near Marata, 3 km west of the city of Afrin. According to the association, the plot of land "is guaranteed to have all the infrastructure, as well as a water and sewage line from a Ottoman Turkish association."

The post did not go into detail about the legal mechanism by which the association acquired the land. According to Afrin Post, a local news site, the plot of land is owned by the Kurdish Dado family.
