NOURNEWS- While the war in Gaza has entered its third month and the resistance of Palestinian groups against the aggression of the Zionist regime continues strongly after the “Al-Aqsa Storm” operation, the publication of some reports about suspicious events in the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange caused controversy before the start of the war.
The stock market is known as a part of the capital market in the world, where many profits and losses lie; However, it should not be forgotten that all small and large shareholders have clear national and stock information of companies and this is one of the characteristics and components of a healthy, democratic and non-rental stock market; In such a way everyone can calculate the process of reducing losses and increasing receipts under equal conditions.
Financial transparency in the capital market, including the stock market, is one of the claims that Western countries and Zionists have always made, and have always stated that their stock market, far from information monopoly and news rent, has provided equal conditions for all shareholders, and they call this process part of democracy and economic transparency.
The Tel Aviv Stock Exchange has not been in a favorable situation in the past two months during the conflicts in Gaza, and the disclosure of information about the fluctuations that occurred before the Al-Aqsa storm operation in the stock market has raised doubts about it.
Forecasting the decrease in the value of Israeli stocks before the Al-Aqsa storm operation:
The research conducted by some professors and researchers in the field of the stock market in recent days has revealed facts that have caused serious uncertainties in the transactions of the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange. The research of “Robert Jackson” and “joshua Mitts”, two American law professors, shows that a few days before the “Al-Aqsa Storm” operation, several capitalists in the American stock market suddenly made transactions, all of which emphasized the imminent decrease in the value of Israeli stocks in the coming days. They wrote that Leumi Bank, the largest bank in the Zionist regime, sold 4.43 of its shares from 14 September to 5 October and thus made a profit of 3.2 billion shekels ($859 million).
In reaction to the published reports that some capitalists of this country were “informed” and “profited” from the attack on 7 October, they called it “incorrect” and declared its publication “irresponsible”. The Tel Aviv Stock Exchange claimed that these two researchers suffered a “calculation error”; Because the stock list is in “Agora” (equivalent to one hundred shekels), which is written similarly to the small units of pence and cents; Therefore, the profit from this quick sale is only “32 million shekels”.
This claim is made by the stock exchange of the Zionist regime to show their capital market clean, while media reports also indicate monopolistic profiteering in the stock market of this regime, and the result has been heavy losses for small shareholders.
Unconventional pre-sale of papers before Al-Aqsa storm operation:
“CNN” says that the initial results of the investigations show that 5 days before the start of the “Al-Aqsa Storm” operation, the speed of the Zionist regime's stock transactions increased greatly and all the bonds were pre-sold in an unconventional way. “Jonathan Maxey”, a professor at Yale University, also considers the October 2 transactions very shocking. Also, “Robert Jackson Jr.”, a professor at New York University, announced: “On October 2, about 100% of the volume of stock transactions in an American public company in Israel took place, which were mostly of the pre-sale type.”
Researchers do not doubt that trading activity in the few days leading up to October 7 was exceptional and unbelievable compared to trading conditions of the past decade. They believe that the American stock market regulatory companies and economic industrial companies have access to data that helped them to help investors find profitable routes in the days before October 7; For example, researchers have found that only on September 14 and October 5, about 4.4 million new bonds were pre-sold in the Zionist Bank Leumi, bonds whose value decreased by 23 percent between October 4 and 23, i.e., during the conflicts.
Doubts about the situation of the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange increase when, despite the uncertainties, the US Securities and Exchange Commission is not willing to answer the hypotheses raised in these transactions.
Undeniable surprise:
The surprise of the intelligence and security apparatus of the Zionist regime against the “Al-Aqsa storm” is undeniable, but the intensification of extremism in the occupied territories by the regime's statesmen, as well as the warnings of the Palestinians to respond to the attacks on the Al-Aqsa Mosque, some big capitalists and related to the structure the powers in the Zionist regime and the United States had led to the possibility of a decrease in the value of stocks, and in this situation, the people involved in the stock market of the Zionist regime took advantage of this situation and imposed heavy losses on the shareholders who did not have these connections. The silence of the Zionist regime and its supporters has increased the speculations about possible sources of information in these profitable transactions, and the increase in the speed of Tel Aviv stock trading in the days before the start of the war has multiplied the uncertainties. The formation of this incident shows that the leaders of the Zionist regime are more concerned about their political and financial interests than they are about the security, well-being, and livelihood of the residents of the occupied territories, and they do not miss any opportunity for gaining more economic profits.
In addition to this, the recent incident in the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange showed that the transparency and purity of the capital market in this regime, like other false slogans of the Zionists, is completely baseless, and the regime's capital market, like other economic and social platforms, has been created to secure the interests of the minority owner of power and capital.
