A play is being made here. What ended apartheid in South Africa? Outside pressure and optics caused banks to end relations with them.
They have anticipated a massive turn in international opinion from the final phase of their siege on Gaza.
They really don't want this to happen to Israel which is a very lucrative business partner. So, they make heavy handed moves that in turn triggers the US Government (likely this is done in coordination) to produce an executive order that says it is not up to banks to pass moral judgement between transactional parties, they have to facilitate payments without question.
Regrettable as it is, they are "forced" to continue make profits from and uphold Israel.
But don't worry, the censorship will somehow also remain lol
