JERUSALEM, March 11 (Reuters) - Four of the five members of the Bank of Israel's monetary policy committee voted on Feb. 26 to leave the benchmark interest rate unchanged at 4.5%, minutes of the discussion showed on Monday, citing economic uncertainty from Israel's war with Hamas in Gaza.
One policymaker voted to lower the key rate by a quarter of a percentage point to 4.25%.
In January, the central bank lowered the rate by a quarter-point from 4.75% for first time in nearly four years. (Reporting by Steven Scheer; Editing by Alex Richardson)
