 Escalating Conflict in Israel and Palestine: A Ripple Effect Across the Region, 14 OCT\

Mounting Tensions and Violence

The Israeli military has ordered the evacuation of nearly half the population of Gaza, while Hamas has called for Palestinians to rise up in protest. According to the Palestinian Ministry of Health, the death toll in Gaza has spiked to 1,900, including many women and children. In the West Bank, clashes between Palestinian protesters and Israeli security forces have resulted in the deaths of at least 46 Palestinians in the past six days.

The Region on Edge

These clashes are fueling unrest and tensions across the region, with protests erupting in Jordan, Bahrain, and Lebanon. The conflict threatens to destabilize not just Israel and the Palestinian territories, but also neighboring countries such as Egypt, Iraq, and Jordan. The international community has called for a halt to the violence and an end to the blockade of Gaza to allow for humanitarian aid to reach the civilians in need.

The Broader Implications

This situation is a setback for efforts to ease regional tensions and focus on domestic development in countries like Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. The conflict comes at a time when many of the underlying problems that fueled the Arab Spring uprisings, such as economic woes, corruption, and political repression, are still unresolved. The war in Israel has sparked fears of wider unrest and is causing concern among officials, scholars, and ordinary people across the region.

Future Uncertain

While the international community calls for peace, the future remains uncertain. What is clear, however, is that the escalating conflict is not confined to the borders of Israel and Palestine, and its effects are being felt across the region. The world watches on as leaders grapple with this complex and deeply rooted conflict, hoping for a resolution that brings peace and stability to the region.

Another expert, Safwan Qusay, underscored the importance of attracting Russian investments to Iraq and diversifying sources of investments.

In related news, Al Rafidain Bank announced the launch of an online dollar reservation system for travelers, a move aimed at facilitating currency exchange for those traveling outside Iraq.

Conclusion

The Central Bank of Iraq’s substantial sales of hard currency point to an active economy with robust demand for foreign currency. The bank’s initiatives to facilitate currency exchange and the call for more reliance on the banking system and diversified investments underscore the evolving financial landscape in Iraq.

Thurs. 12 Oct. Holly on Frank26: “Frank has a team in Erbil who went to the bank. They’re telling the citizens the rate is coming. He told her the rate went up two days ago, and they’re about to use the new national currency. Alaq said the Board of Directors of the CBI is going to release a new exchange rate. The bank is saying there has been a rise in the rate internally. They will be joining the BRICS and that may be the basket that floats internationally!”

The Iraqi Dinar's Game-Changing Announcement Potential to Replace the US...

"RV UPDATE" BY SANDY INGRAM, 14 OCT

 Sandy Ingram 

 Don't think you can come here [Online broker/bank etc] and at the last minute purchase Iraqi dinar as the currency is increasing in value because the first thing they are going to do is increase the cost of the currency as it changes.  This old investing - meaning we are not using the Forex Market.  We are purchasing currency, holding it until it increases in value against the US dollar and then we are seeing the currency for profit...

This money move by Iraq is to put an end to Iran wrapping itself around Iraq's finances...to control corruption and the illegal flow of money so they can get International investments.  This money move by Iraq is to show favoritism to their own currency and their own government.  Anytime the young girls decide to date or marry a man who has lots of US dollars rather than Iraqi dinars, then it is time to readjust the thought process.  Make no doubt about it, this money move will help strengthen the Iraqi dinar and hopefully the value of the IQD against the USD. [

 On the topic of Iraq's dedollarization  plan starting in January 2024... Article:  "BRICS:  What Iraq's Cash Ban Means for the Global Status of USD"  The BRICS people...are trying to say Iraq is abandoning the US dollar in favor of the BRICS' agenda.  WRONG...Iraq has over $100 billion US dollars in a New York Federal Reserve Bank and they understand the consequences of crossing over their own wealth.

Friday Evening News with MarkZ 

Some highlights by PDK-Not verbatim

MarkZ Disclaimer: Please consider everything on this call as my opinion. People who take notes do not catch everything and its best to watch the video so that you get everything in context.  Be sure to consult a professional for any financial decisions

Member: Good morning good afternoon good evening wherever you are. Welcome to the Evening News Live With MarkZ

Member: Welcome to the weekend…..trying hard to be patient

Member: We are all in the same boat. Good thing it’s a very big boat!

MZ: Let’s start with some rumors….I am sure you are hearing many of these from other sites. We were getting strange rates in Iraq today , especially in the Kurdish region. It doesn’t seem to be an official process but an unofficial process. Many merchants or money handlers have put a different value on their dinar. 


MZ: They believe the dinar is about to take a serious spike in value. So they were charging a premium if you wanted any of their dinar.

MZ:  It’s been an interesting day but, I have not been able to confirm the rumors of $1.13 or so rate…but I can verify the number of sources that tell me “yes, there were major wild swings in the dinar based on who you were negotiating with. So there was a lot of horse trading…or camel trading over the dinar value today.

MZ: I do think that is an important piece even though I could not confirm the rates many of you have said….I can verify the value swung greatly today. I believe its telling us that the people of Iraq believe the timing is very, very soon. 

MZ: Here is a kinda fun article “ GCR, RV and QFS=Global Currency Reset. Attention XRP enthusiasts –The euphoric rise of XRP” From American Media Group …I thought she did a great job…broke down some of our terms. It is worth sharing and the link is in today’s links 

Mod:  MARKZ DAILY LINKS: https://theoriginalmarkz.com/home/

Member: MarkZ, Just before he left this morning, Mr. C. said that Iraq will have an RI (as opposed to the RV); what is an RI and what's the difference? Thanks.

MZ: An RI is a reinstatement of the former rate before they devalued the dinar……It is my understanding they can reinstate it to the old rate PLUS …add more for the inflation that happened during that time period…..I think the old rate was around $3.22-$3.30 or so…..then if you add in inflation for the last 20 years and you can justify a rate of over $4 or so,…….a RV is a revaluation of any rate that’s not the RI rate. 

Member: Are redemption centers still happening or are we just going to banks?

Member: The redemption center is a bank. The bank is a redemption center.

Member: Redemption Centers are banks, BUT not ALL banks are redemption centers

MZ: it’s all just definitions. What one person calls a redemption center-another calls a bank. But overwhelmingly redemption centers are in banks….Banks that are set up with people trained to exchange currencies and all the procedures and equiptment….. Call it whatever you want. Call it a “redeeming bank”  …

Member:  Hang on…. did i not define a redemption center already? Red carpet fountain in the middle with dolphins and cocktail waitresses? What part did u miss?

Member: Who is paying the redemption center employees?

MZ: The banks. Most work in dual roles….in wealth management and will be assisting with exchanges when it happens…..so most are already employed at banks.  

Member:  Our local Walmart installed new registers this week. The payment page now says "notes" and not cash.

Member:  I dont wanna think of it anymore I just want it to happen lol

Member:  I say flip the switch. We are all tired.

Member: Enjoy your Friday night everyone….see you in the AM
