Flying To Economic Peace!

From humble beginnings...

To Trump International - Jerusalem

Approximately 3 million people are trapped in regions of Israel's Judea and Samaria, under direct control of the Palestinian Authority. They are entirely landlocked and since 7 October 2003 they have become increasingly isolated. As long as their political leaders maintain pay-to-slay terrorism, targeting Jews and deny the existence of the Jewish State of Israel, then much like the fate of Hamas and people in Gaza, these people will be doomed to live in tense, militaristic environments that will continue to burden GDP and their prosperity.

The new Trump administration can unburden their future with opportunities that direct significant development and growth to the region, including for landlocked residents who aspire to capital market values. Newly appointed Ambassador Mike Huckabee and Middle East Advisor Steven Witkoff fully grasp the realities of the region, but also understand that willing participants who desire economic peace, through capital growth and increased prosperity, can motivate participation. However, participants must jointly and simultaneously displace old regimes and leaders who are beholden to rhetoric and negative impact politics. 

Since the Abraham Accords regional relations have skewed toward increased productivity and prosperity with nations like The United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and even Saudi Arabia seeking to lift restrictive barriers imposed on their populations. Now a sea-change is coming and there may never be a better time to focus on Israel's existing plans that were put into place, to be endorsed, at the end of the previous Trump administration.

Between the Dead Sea and Jerusalem is one such plan for a major infrastructure project that would motivate large numbers of local people toward a future that holds great promise for them and the region. The plan and outlook is for an international airport, eventually serving Jerusalem, Ramallah, the Dead Sea, Jordan Valley and southern cities of Jordan. Perhaps as The Trump International Airport, it would resolve complexities that are presently disrupting the pursuit of regional peace and could eventually grow to become a major international travel hub. 

Detailed studies for a full scale international hub, have already concluded the suitability of the location, but a single runway, not much more than the road in these images and videos and a make-shift terminal, would be sufficient to get this project energized and parties vested in success-based goals.

For Israel its about security, for the PA its independence, but for both the prospects of local prosperity may outweigh their lesser principles. If Israel tolerates a sealed, secure road to and from the airport and Ramallah, perhaps from Jordan too then the border system could ensure safe passage through a  facility that satisfied entry-exit requirements of all parties. For a more detailed look turn to page 68 of the a the Jerusalem 5800 plan that can be downloaded. 

Notwithstanding the impact Covid19 and Israel's present wars the future forecast for international travel to the region is bright. Airports take time to plan and develop, even small ones' now is the time to forge minds and hearts to drive toward common interests that serve the prosperity of people.

Anti UNRWA Law Moving to Knesset Vote

Source J-Wire

The Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defence Committee unanimously approved legislation designating the UN Relief and Works Agency a “terror organization” on Tuesday. The bill now heads to the Knesset plenum for its first reading.

In addition, the legislation would also strip UNRWA of its diplomatic immunity, tax-exempt status, and other legal benefits.

“UNRWA’s crimes on October 7 and the agency’s cooperation over the years with the terrorist organizations are unforgivable. There is no other way to define them except as a terrorist organization and they must be immediately removed from the law,” said MK Yulia Malinovsky, who initiated the legislation.

“An organization whose employees, social workers, doctors and teachers during the day are terrorists at night is a terrorist organization for all intents and purposes,” the Yisrael Beiteinu lawmaker added.

UNRWA, which supports Palestinian refugees, has been under fire for months, with Israeli officials demanding the agency be stripped of its authority in Gaza and defunded amid revelations that members of the agency’s staff participated in Hamas’s October 7 attacks. The Israeli government is bypassing UNRWA in distributing humanitarian aid.

Israel’s largest bank froze UNRWA’s account in February over suspicious financial transfers that the agency failed to adequately explain. That same month, Israeli forces discovered a Hamas complex located directly under the UNRWA’s Gaza City headquarters and connected directly to the agency’s electricity system. The facility included numerous computer servers belonging to the terror group.

More than 100 survivors of Hamas’s October 7 attacks filed a $1 billion lawsuit against UNRWA, accusing the agency of “aiding and abetting” the terror group.

The Israel Lands Authority in May ordered UNRWA to vacate its Jerusalem offices over violations of its lease.

Palestinian refugees are the only refugee population with its own dedicated UN agency. The rest of the world’s refugees fall under the mandate of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees. Israeli officials have called for UNRWA to be closed and for Palestinian refugees to be brought under the responsibility of the UNHCR.

UNRWA TERRORISTS!

October 7 Victims Sue UNRWA for $1 Billion, Claiming It Aided and Abetted Hamas

Introduction: More than 100 victims of the devastating October 7 Hamas assault on Israel, along with their families, have filed a lawsuit claiming $1 billion in damages from UNRWA. The United Nations aid agency for Palestinians is accused of assisting the terror group in its attack.

The lawsuit names UNRWA and seven of its past and current leaders, including head Philippe Lazzarini, as defendants. It alleges:

UNRWA allowed Hamas to use its facilities for weapons storage.

Tunnels and command centers were built under UNRWA sites.

The agency funneled cash into Hamas’s coffers by paying employees in US dollars.

Warnings Ignored: The lawsuit asserts that UNRWA was repeatedly warned that its policies were directly aiding Hamas, yet it continued these practices.

October 7 Attack: On that day, Hamas led 3,000 terrorists in a massive cross-border attack on Israel, resulting in over 1,200 deaths, mostly civilians.

The lawsuit sheds light on UNRWA’s alleged role in supporting Hamas and seeks accountability for the devastating consequences of the October 7 attack.

ICC Ruling Locks in Showdown with US Congress!

 

A barrage of posts on X, from prominent leaders, slammed the actions of ICC prosecutor Karim Ahmad Khan. For some his ICC warrants are seen as egregious, driving up the Islamic sponsored Jihad that opposes Judeo Christian sentiments of the silent majority. For now that bear sleeps, but Khan's prodding is likely to wake it up, put it on center stage and invoke a reckoning that will ultimately drive US Congressional action. 

His close relationship with UN head António Guterres, further empowers him to act on behalf of nations that battle for diplomatic dominance at UN headquarters in New York. However, the outcome of the US election in November will have a significant bearing and its not just about the President, the make up of Congress and Senate will bear significant weight. The stakes for the ICC are very high and Khan is gambling its reputation. 

It goes without saying that a Trump victory will most likely result in similar or even more severe budget cuts, banking controls and veto actions to that of his previous term in office. That global precipice is looming. It could indeed turn the tide and put the ICC back in its box. Alternatively a Biden victory is likely to enable President Obama to continue dominating Democrat Party endorsed policy that would accelerate the global shift toward Islamic cultural bias.

The Judeo-Christian bond between Israel and the USA is unbreakable, but the stakes are high and the ICC's serious challenge may have to be dialed back at the expense of Karim Ahmad Khan.
