The war between Israel and Hamas could deal a “serious” blow to global economic development, the president of the World Bank tells an investor conference in Saudi Arabia.
“What just happened recently in Israel and Gaza — at the end of the day you put all this together, I think the impact on economic development is even more serious,” Ajay Banga says, adding: “I think we’re at a very dangerous juncture.”
