The Governor of the Central Bank says it is “sort of bizarre” that Israel uses Ireland as the “home state” for its bonds within the European Union. According to the comments reported by both outlets, the governor questions the choice of Ireland for this purpose and notes that it is unusual for a country other than Ireland to designate it as the relevant home jurisdiction for bond-related arrangements in the EU. The reports present the remarks as a reaction to how the bond framework is set up, rather than as an accusation of wrongdoing in itself. The articles focus on the central bank’s view that the situation is unexpected from a policy and regulatory standpoint, given Ireland’s role. No additional details are provided in the excerpts about the specific bond issuance, the legal basis for the “home state” designation, or any follow-up steps. The statements therefore reflect the central bank’s assessment and commentary on the matter, rather than a confirmed change to bond arrangements or enforcement action.
