Iraqi-Saudi coordination council has played a major role with their bilateral relations. Iraq is doing a good job. If you've noticed in the news, Iraq is a mediator. It's almost like the Switzerland of the Middle East. Kudos to Al-Sudani...
They've increased the interest rate to encourage citizens to save their money. They're going to be paying 7.5%... What's the main goal here?I think what they're really trying to do is to get large amounts of money off the street...mattress money is what they call it. They're still trying to get that money in...
They're going to be building roads, railways, building residential cities, industrial cities...How are they going do that without being Article VIII complaint?
Walkingstick
Everything is there for the citizens concerning the monetary reform. Everything is in its position. Everything is ready to go.
They may be waiting for more Iraqi citizens to open bank accounts...maybe they're waiting for more accounts to open up because that's how they're going to deliver the HCL.
Iraqi PM Rejects Forced Displacement of Palestinians Amid Gaza Conflict, 21 OCT
In the heart of the Middle East, amid the staggering human toll and the rubble of the ongoing Gaza conflict, a voice of the region rises. Prime Minister of Iraq, Mohammed Shia’ Al Sudani, has issued a clarion call: The forced displacement of Palestinians from Gaza and their migration elsewhere is not a viable solution.
Resonating Beyond Borders
The Prime Minister’s statement synchronizes with the rhythm of regional tension, echoing through the corridors of power and into the hearts of the beleaguered Palestinians. His words arrive at a time when the region is aflame with conflict, marked by the abrupt cancellation of a visit by the Hamas political bureau chief to Iraq due to escalating strife.
The conflict in Gaza, now the deadliest of the five wars that have convulsed the territory, has left thousands dead and injured. In its aftermath, a fragile lifeline has been extended in the form of aid deliveries, trickling in through the Rafah border crossing. As the humanitarian crisis unfolds, regional leaders, Western officials, and the United Nations chief are converging on Egypt for a summit aimed at forging a path out of the bloodshed.
A Power Play of Perspectives
The international community’s response to the Gaza crisis reflects a complex tapestry of perspectives. While Western leaders largely support Israel’s campaign against Hamas, many Muslim states call for an immediate ceasefire. The Israeli government, for its part, warns its citizens against travelling to Egypt, Jordan, and Morocco due to rising hostility.
Meanwhile, Pakistan’s caretaker Prime Minister condemned the Israeli strikes on Gaza during a call with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, urging the international community to press Israel to halt the violence. Across the Atlantic, the United States welcomes the release of two American hostages in Gaza, with President Joe Biden expressing gratitude to the governments of Qatar and Israel for their assistance.
The Humanitarian Imperative
Caught in the crossfire are the civilians of Gaza, whose plight has prompted the United Nations food chief to call for increased aid. The United Nations Humanitarian Affairs office is also advocating for more aid trucks to enter Gaza daily, with checks at the border being expedited.
Simultaneously, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu remains unyielding, signalling no pause in the military’s bombardment and anticipated invasion of Gaza. As the battle lines harden, the Iranian defense minister expresses support for Hamas fighters and warns of a humanitarian catastrophe if the blockade of Gaza continues and humanitarian aid is denied.
The Prime Minister of Iraq’s stand against forced displacement and migration of Palestinians is more than just a statement. It is a stark reminder of the human cost of conflict and a call to action for a world that cannot afford to turn a blind eye to the suffering in Gaza.
Cairo Peace Summit: A Global Assembly Seeking Resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict
The serene landscape of the New Administrative Capital, a suburb of Cairo, was interrupted today by the arrival of world leaders and international organizations representatives for the Cairo Peace Summit. The summit’s goal is clear: to discuss the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict and to find a comprehensive solution to this historical dispute. Representing Morocco in this significant event was none other than King Mohammed VI’s appointee, Nasser Bourita, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation, and Moroccans residing abroad.
A Global Assembly to Resolve a Decades-long Conflict
The summit brought together 31 countries and three international organizations, along with several significant global figures. Leaders of nations such as Qatar, Turkey, Greece, Palestine, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iraq, Italy, and Cyprus were in attendance. The United Nations Secretary-General, António Guterres, also graced the summit, lauding Egypt’s role in providing aid to Gaza via the Rafah crossing.
Seeking Peace and Justice
The summit focused on finding a solution to the Palestinian crisis, de-escalating the situation in Gaza, and achieving peaceful settlement in the Middle East based on the two-state solution principle and the Arab Peace Initiative. The Egyptian-hosted summit aims to resolve the ongoing conflict between the Palestinians and Israelis.
The attending leaders expressed their condemnation of Israeli attacks on Gaza, calling for the protection of civilians and a fair resolution to the Palestinian issue. They voiced their rejection of forced displacement and emphasized the necessity of achieving peace and finding a permanent and comprehensive solution to the Palestinian issue.
Voices of the Middle East
Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, in his speech at the summit, lauded Egypt’s role in delivering aid to Gaza through the Rafah crossing. He affirmed that the solution to the Palestinian issue is not displacement, but justice and the Palestinians’ right to self-determination. He warned against dismissing the issue without a fair solution and stressed that Egypt would not permit this at its expense.
King Abdullah II of Jordan also spoke, condemning the extremist policies of the Israeli leadership and emphasizing that the two-state solution has become impossible due to these policies. He warned against international negligence and its disastrous impact on the region, stressing the need to halt the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza and protect civilians.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas affirmed the Palestinians’ determination to remain in their land and their rejection of displacement. He called on the UN Security Council to protect the Palestinian people and cease fire. He expressed his rejection of Israeli occupation operations and called for justice and respect for Palestinian rights.
UN Secretary-General António Guterres stressed, in his speech, the need to abide by international law, protect civilians, and provide humanitarian aid to Gaza. He called for a ceasefire and the achievement of peace based on the two-state solution.
A Step Towards Peace
The Cairo Peace Summit comes amid escalating tensions in the Middle East, continuing Israeli attacks on Gaza, and military escalation in the region. The summit aims to find a peaceful and comprehensive solution to the Palestinian issue, halt escalation, and protect civilians. Egypt’s call for the summit reflects its desire to revive global momentum for the Palestinian cause and affirm its pivotal role in the issue.
Iraqi Prime Minister Speaks Out on Palestinian Rights Amid Conflict, 21 OCT
In the midst of the escalating Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammad Shia Al Sudani has articulated a different kind of narrative, one that echoes the collective outcry of the Palestinian people. His contention is simple yet profound: if the rights of the Palestinians had been recognized and respected, the current calamity might have been avoided.
A Stand for Palestine
The taut strings of tension in the Middle East are not new, but the recent surge in violence has invoked a global response. In Iraq, thousands have taken to the streets in solidarity with the Palestinians, their chants reverberating with anti-American sentiments and their hands ablaze with Israeli flags. Al Sudani, aligning with his people’s sentiments, has condemned the ‘brutal Zionist aggression’ by Israel, emphasizing the necessity of opening humanitarian corridors and ensuring the delivery of essential aid to war-impacted Gaza.
Suppression and Censorship
Across the Atlantic, the United States grapples with its own internal conflict. The pro-Palestinian narrative, while gaining momentum, faces suppression and intimidation. Major conferences have been canceled, employees voicing support for Palestinians face dismissal threats, and Arab-American voices critical of Israeli policies are intimidated. The issue has become a thorn in the side of the free-speech ethos, leading to the cancellation of interviews and advertising for a book on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
International Response and the Cairo Peace Summit
In response to the crisis, regional leaders have convened for the Cairo Peace Summit, a diplomatic initiative aimed at mitigating the humanitarian crisis and finding peaceful solutions. Al Sudani, invited to the summit, has voiced his support for an immediate ceasefire and the lifting of the siege on Gaza. Other regional leaders, including Egyptian President Abdel Fatah Al Sisi, Kuwaiti Crown Prince Sheikh Meshal al Ahmad al Sabah, and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, have also expressed their concerns.
The United Nations Secretary-General, António Guterres, has called for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire and emphasized the need for immediate and sustained humanitarian aid for the besieged civilians in Gaza. The Israeli military, however, has restricted aid to southern areas, demanding proof that aid deliveries will not be hijacked by Hamas.
The United States, a key player in the region, faces challenges in responding to the crisis. The pro-Hamas sentiment in Iraq and the wider region, coupled with the brutality of Hamas’s attacks, poses difficulties in finding a balanced approach. The United States can play a role in pressuring its regional partners, including Iraq, to condemn the brutality of the attacks while acknowledging the legitimate grievances of the Palestinian people.
We were warned that we would see rough things before it happened and we are…I firmly believe we are much closer than it appears. …they could just pull the trigger at any time.
Question: Rumor has it that currency dealers have been notified to stop selling currency after 11:59 CST. Any idea if this is accurate at all?
MarkZ: I was told they would stop selling right before the RV…of course they can change the wording and maybe slow down if they think it’s really close.
In Iraq: “Barzoni and the CBI Governor discuss economic cooperation”
It was great to see this article come out today. This is a feel good article on how much has been accomplished. I am also getting reports from a finance ministry contact in Iraq that things are exceptionally good right now between Barzoni and the government of Iraq. So this is fantastic.
There is still lots of chatter out of Iraq…there is a huge project that is underway right now as they look to fix their housing crisis. “Bismayah New City”
This is part of the national housing program …massive new city about 10 miles north of Baghdad. Huge project and they have already broken ground.
Where is this money coming from? How are they planning the potential 600,000 population city with houses, high rises, entertainment…you name it?
It’s clear Iraq is planning for prosperity. They are going to need a new exchange rate to justify this city…imo.

MZ: This is a key thing to watch because these are key indicators. You see Iraq talking about it in their own local papers…..It means Iraq is worries about the US economy
