The Palestine Monetary Authority issued Circular No. 33/2025 designating December 25, 2025, January 1, 2026, and January 7, 2026, as official holidays for all payment service companies operating in Palestine. This directive, grounded in Legislative Decree No. 41 of 2022 and an approved Cabinet decision, mandates the closure of payment service operations on these dates to observe Western Christmas, the New Year, and Eastern Christmas. The circular concludes with seasonal greetings and a formal prayer for the realization of Palestinian statehood with Jerusalem as its capital.
