Could Palestinian pharma companies supply Israel? Time to test it

Good news!

"More than three decades ago, the Oslo framework identified pharmaceuticals as one area for Israeli-Palestinian industrial cooperation. That idea is worth revisiting today, not because economic cooperation can resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, but because there may be a narrower economic opportunity that has never been seriously tested.

Palestinian pharmaceutical manufacturers already produce medicines at meaningful industrial scale. Israel, meanwhile, is a nearby pharmaceutical market that purchases large volumes of generic medicines. The question is whether qualified Palestinian manufacturers could supply selected products to Israeli purchasers safely, reliably and at a competitive total cost. ..."

Could Palestinian pharma companies supply Israel? Time to test it - Globes "Israeli-Palestinian cooperation on pharmaceuticals is worth examining, not as a peace project, but as an economic opportunity for both sides."

European Union is Preparing to Admit 40,000 Gazans starting in 2027

Bad news, if confirmed! Is this another example of the suicide of Western culture?

How many of the Arabs living in the Gaza Strip and West Bank were sympathizers, supporters or even members of the coward mass killers Hamas?

"A working plan is being discussed to facilitate the departure of Palestinian families from Gaza and their reunification with relatives in Europe, according to reports from well-sourced security channels.

Though European Union officials and member states have consistently rejected mass resettlement schemes for Gazans, the reported proposal, which began taking shape around two months ago, envisions an initial framework starting in early 2027 to transfer around 40,000 Palestinians to European countries over several months. Greece, Germany, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Spain, Italy, and, of course, the United Kingdom are cited among the prospective destinations. ..."

Hamas Won Gaza’s Last Election in 2006. Twenty Years Later, Palestinians May Finally Get the Chance to make better choices in November 2026

Will the Arabs living in the Gaza Strip finally get smart and choose peace with Israel and get rid of the terrorists living among them and exploiting them!

When will the Arabs living in the West Bank rid themselves of the PLA, Fatah and Mahmoud Abbas!

Hope and pray, the Arabs living in the Gaza Strip and West Bank will make much better choices and become Palestinians for once!

"In January 2006, Palestinians went to the polls to elect a new parliament. This was the first legislative election since 1996, and none have happened since.

In 1996, Fatah had emerged victorious, winning 50 out of the 88 available seats. Hamas, meanwhile, had boycotted that election, rejecting the Oslo peace framework that had established the Palestinian Authority (PA), which was supposed to be a temporary and transitional body that would eventually be dissolved with the establishment of a Palestinian state.

Following Yasser Arafat’s death in November 2004, a presidential election was held in January 2005. Once again, Hamas did not field a candidate. This allowed Fatah’s Mahmoud Abbas to win easily. ...

If November’s election goes ahead, Palestinians will finally have the chance to pass judgment on what followed 2006 and decide whether they want something different. The result will reflect the views of voters who have lived with its consequences for two decades. ..."

Hamas Won Gaza’s Last Election. Twenty Years Later, Palestinians May Finally Get the Chance to Choose Differently. "They promised an end to corruption and a better government under the banner of “Change and Reform.” What followed was repeated wars with Israel and ultimately the devastation of Gaza."

Israel is replacing Palestinian workers with 330,000 foreign workers

More consequences of the coward mass murder terrorist attack of October 7, 2023!

The pressure is on the Arabs living in the Gaza Strip and West Bank to never allow again coward terrorists to operate among them building tunnels, hiding command centers and weapons underneath a children hospital and so on!

"Since October 7, 2023, Israel has been rapidly replacing its Palestinian labor force with foreign workers.

250,000 foreign workers are already in Israel and their number is set to rise to 330,000.

Many unseen challenges lay behind these numbers, the most substantial of which is the question of the housing that employers are obligated to provide for their foreign employees. The law stipulates a detailed definition of suitable housing and some companies are renting entire buildings and converted them into homes. But evidence of crowding and poor conditions is increasing and the government's solutions are mostly on paper. ...

After October 7, 2023, Israel decided to close its border crossings in Judea and Samaria with the Palestinian Authority and barred the entry of Palestinian workers into Israel. An estimated 150,000 Palestinian workers were regularly entering Israel before the war, of whom 92,000 were working legally, many of them in the construction industry. Only 20,000 Palestinian workers currently work in Israel, primarily in essential enterprises and communities beyond the Green Line. ..."

Is Israel prepared for 330,000 foreign workers? - Globes "Workers from abroad have taken the place of Palestinians but employers are not always providing the housing conditions and other services the law requires, while government enforcement is lacking."

Israeli banks postpone cutting ties with Palestinian Authority following a request by the Bank of Israel

It is very understandable that Israeli banks try to do business with the Arabs living in the Gaza Strip and West Bank. It has many benefits.

If Israeli banks were not doing the business, other foreign banks would step in perhaps from Iran, Russia or other hostile countries. 

"... Bank Hapoalim and Israel Discount Bank have served as correspondent banks for the financial system in the Palestinian Authority for decades. This activity is a vital pipeline for mutual trade worth tens of billions of shekels annually and allows ongoing payment for goods and services. The volume of trade with the Palestinian Authority is estimated at more than NIS 20 billion a year, in both exports and imports. A complete severance of relations could paralyze trade, lead to a monetary collapse in the West Bank, and harm many Israeli companies. ..."

Israeli banks postpone cutting ties with Palestinian Authority - Globes "The move follows a request from the Bank of Israel, which asked the two banks to continue providing financial services to prevent an economic upheaval."

Bad news, if confirmed!

Where are the coward European powers when you need them!

Trump’s Gaza Board of Peace issues first building contract – for a military base for Moroccan soldiers

An irony of history! 😊 Securing the peace comes first. This news is a little bit dated.

The company involved, i.e. Arkel International, has not provided a press release about it.

"... Louisiana firm awarded tender to build rudimentary outpost to house Moroccan troops. ..."

"... [President] Trump’s Board of Peace, which was set up in January to oversee the reconstruction of Gaza, has finally issued its first construction contract in the devastated territory: a project to build a rudimentary 150-person military outpost to house Moroccan troops, a source familiar with the matter told the Guardian.

The contract, which has not yet been finalised, was awarded to Arkel International, a Louisiana-based firm that has previously carried out work with the US government in countries such as Iraq"

Israel government approves to launch Gaza reconstruction

Good news! However, is this premature as long as the coward, mass killer Hamas presumably still rule over or exercise a major influence on Gaza Strip?

Why did Western news media again fail to report that? How lousy has Western journalism become?

"The Security Cabinet approved on Sunday [7/28/2026] the principal approval for the entry of the International Stabilization Force (ISF) into the Gaza Strip, which was included in US President Donald Trump’s 20-point plan.

The goal is to launch a pilot project in Rafah within the next few months.

Israeli banks cutting ties with Palestinian Authority

An example of reality is stranger than fiction!

This reminds of one of Lenin's famous quotes: The capitalists will sell us the rope with which to hang them” (attribution is in question)

UN: Palestinian Authority must end torture, arbitrary detention of Palestinians in West Bank

Good news! Why have Western news media largely ignored these news?

Why are the Arab citizens of the West Bank unwilling or unable for more than 50 years or more to get rid of the terrorist and corrupt PA!

"The Palestinian Authority must end its continued use of arbitrary detention, torture, and other forms of ill-treatment against Palestinians, particularly journalists, dissidents, and political activists, under the pretext of “security reasons,” the UN Human Rights Office demanded last week. ..."

"... Palestinian authorities continue to arbitrarily or unlawfully deprive dozens of Palestinians of liberty — many are reportedly detained under a law that was declared unconstitutional by the Palestinian Supreme Constitutional Court. UN Human Rights – OPT has also gathered information on several male prisoners, including children, who continued to be detained by Palestinian security forces despite courts having ordered their release.

Some detainees in Palestinian detention facilities have reported torture and other forms of ill-treatment, including painful stress positions, severe beatings and whippings, and prolonged solitary confinement. Detainees who reported torture and ill-treatment frequently referred to experiencing suspension in a position known in Arabic as “shabeh”, where their hands are shackled behind their backs, and they are suspended from the ceiling by their wrists for days at a time. ..."
