The Bank of Israel is set to make its next interest rate decision next week, unusually on a Tuesday instead of a Monday. The markets are eagerly awaiting the decision of the Bank of Israel’s Monetary Committee headed by Governor Prof. Amir Yaron, and wondering whether we will see a third consecutive interest rate cut.

Bank Hapoalim (TASE: POLI) and Israel Discount Bank (TASE: DSCT), the two Israel banks connected to the Palestinian banking system, are likely to postpone their decision to cut the ties, sources inform "Globes." The move follows a request from the Bank of Israel, which asked the two banks to continue providing financial services to prevent an economic upheaval. As far as is known, a final decision has not yet been made, but discussions are underway to make this possible.

The leasing deal in which Fiverr (NYSE: FVRR) was to move to the Wix (Nasdaq: WIX) campus in Glilot has been canceled, "Globes" has learned. This brings the curtain down on one of the prominent office real estate deals for the Wix campus, after it was first revealed in "Globes" last year that Fiverr was in talks to lease space there. According to the original plan, Fiverr was supposed to lease about 4,500 square meters on the Wix campus, with an option for expansion in the future.
