The head of Israel’s Antitrust Authority David Gilo has announced he will allow various banks to meet and decide together on a debt settlement for Israel Discount Bank Development Corporation, which currently owes debts to six banks in the nation.

Discount Bank reportedly approached Gilo with the request for joint talks after discovering IDB Development Corp. bondholders met with IDB Holding Corp. Ltd. bondholders to draw up a settlement offer. The banks have not confirmed that they will work together, however.
