Saudi Arabia has confirmed its intention to assign one billion dollars for the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip. Prince Saud al Faisal stated at the international conference of the donor countries, which currently takes place at Egypt’s Sharm-el-Sheikh, that the funds would be wired through the Saudi Fund for Development.








US Secretary of State Hilalry Clinton announced the allocation of $900 million to Palestine at the conference. About $300 million of the amount will be meant for the Gaza Strip, whereas the remaining $600 million will be wired to the Palestinian authorities to boost the economic development of the country. The assistance of the donor countries to the Palestinian economy, including the recreation of Gaza, may exceed $3 billion.

The Gulf Cooperation Council, made up of Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates offered $1.6 billion of gratuitous grants for the recreation of Gaza’s infrastructure yesterday, Itar-Tass reports. Russia decided to support Palestine with 50 armored vehicles, two civil helicopters, as well as with food and medications. Russia’s Dmitry Medvedev sent a message to participants of the above-mentioned conference saying that the stability of the Palestinian state structure was a matter of special significance to Russia.

Russia promised to ship 25 armored vehicles (without large-caliber weapons) to Palestine with Israel’s sanction last year.

The Cooperation Council for the Arab States of the Gulf, also known as the Gulf Cooperation Council is a trade bloc involving the six Arab states of the Persian Gulf with many economic and social objectives.

[Mr. Sparkle]

6. True, but non so obvious over a sustained period of time.

4. Really? What country?

How about the nation that destroyed Iraq?

[ReliantJ]

5. Saddam is not a country

Some people think that response would make sense^

[Mr. Sparkle]

7. Thats a different topic worth a discussion on its own.

Israel should foot the $4 Billion dollar bill for all the damage it deliberately caused. Why should we pay for it ?

8. They are siding with Iran, Saudi, and Venezuela

in the oil cartel. This is great PR to that end and a firm declaration that they have decided to oppose the new economic losers, America. Who was it that said, capitalists will sell the rope to hang themselves? Republicans are traitors.
