 US Secretary of State Antony Blinken Rejects Cease-fire Request in Gaza, 5 NOV

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has rejected Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas’s plea for a cease-fire in the Gaza Strip during a meeting held in Ramallah. Blinken reaffirmed Israel’s right to self-defense and continuation of its military campaign in Gaza. He, however, committed to exerting pressure on Israel to avoid civilian casualties and to provide safe passageways for humanitarian aid.

Blinken’s Stance on the Israel-Hamas Conflict

The ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas has resulted in the death of 9,770 Palestinians and more than 1,400 Israelis. Arab leaders are urging an immediate ceasefire in Israel’s military offensive in Gaza. Blinken, though, contended that such a halt would only enable Hamas to reorganize and launch renewed attacks on Israel. He advocated for humanitarian pauses in Israel’s operations to facilitate a better flow of aid and increased evacuation of foreign nationals out of Gaza and into Egypt.

Arab Leaders’ Concern Over Civilian Deaths

Arab leaders have voiced their concern about the civilian death toll in Gaza and are calling for an immediate ceasefire. They argue that the deaths of thousands of civilians cannot be justified as self-defense and underscored the necessity to establish an armistice before discussing Gaza’s future. Arab states are also apprehensive about the conflict spreading regionally, with Lebanon’s Hezbollah and Iraqi Shiite militias having begun attacks on Israel since the conflict’s inception.

International Call for Ceasefire and US’s Response

The international community has been vocal about a ceasefire, but both Washington and Israel have dismissed these calls. The US is aiming to convince Israel to agree to local pauses in the fighting to allow for the delivery of humanitarian aid. However, Israel is wary that Hamas would utilize these pauses to regroup and resupply.

US’s Role in the Ongoing Conflict

The US has been criticized for its support of Israel’s military campaign and its reluctance to call for an immediate ceasefire. But, the Biden administration argues that a ceasefire at this stage would only allow Hamas to regroup and resume its attacks on Israel. The US is instead calling for humanitarian pauses in the fighting to facilitate the delivery of aid and the evacuation of civilians. The conflict has also raised concerns about the potential for the violence to spread to other countries in the region.

The dinar is stronger than the dollar.” The hypothesis that is absent from reality!, 5 NOV

 The dinar is stronger than the dollar.” The hypothesis that is absent from reality!

Everything has become higher because of the dollar, a dangerous trade recession that the country is experiencing, amid warnings of an economic slide that may lead to a worsening of the situation in the coming days.

According to experts, merchants affiliated with influential parties and entities are the only beneficiaries of the platform affiliated with the Central Bank,  and the government must come out immediately and be honest with the people about the truth of what is happening.

According to a simple calculation, the Central Bank sells an estimated two hundred thousand dollars daily, meaning that the daily profits of speculators are estimated at forty thousand dollars, bringing their monthly total to one million two hundred thousand dollars, which is equivalent to about two billion Iraqi dinars net for speculators per month.  link

"RV UPDATE" BY MNT GOAT, 5 NOV

 Mnt Goat  

 ...We can see many events in-line with January 2024.  I want to bring you up to date on my latest conversation with my CBI contact... It was told to me that the re-education campaign is still going forward but not yet rolled out as of yet. There is talk in the CBI it may be postponed due to the Gaza strip conflict, but no action or direction has been given to signify this as of yet...

 ...in the news is yet more de-dollarization efforts as they convert the remaining of the border crossing stations all to “all dinars” only for custom fees. The Parliamentary Finance Committee renewed on Tuesday, its support for the Central Bank’s measures to control the exchange rate and address any obstacles...

we learned that the new government of Al-Sudani made promises in his administrations curriculum to bring back the dinar stronger than the dollar. Is this why he has openly in public stated the dinar is already stronger than the dollar?  Well then…where is it?  As investors we wait for it.

 Articles:  "NEARLY TEN BILLION DOLLARS IN IRAQI OIL REVENUES LAST MONTH";   "IRAQ IS AMONG THE LARGEST ARAB COUNTRIES IN GOLD RESERVES... INTERNATIONAL STATISTICS DURING 2023"  Yes, and still the dinar is at 1/6 of a penny. 

How outrageous is this that they still continue to manipulate the dollar in Iraq. We will see what happens in January when the CBI has reported they plan to cut off all dollars for imports. The dollars will dry up. So get ready Iraq…

Time: 11/05/2023 Read: 754 times    {Economic: Al-Furat News} A member of the Parliamentary Finance Committee stressed the need to address the high dollar exchange rates in the country.

Committee member Ali Jabbar Mu'nis told Al-Furat News Agency, "The financial difference between the official and parallel exchange rates in the markets has become very large."

He added, "It has become necessary to resolve this matter by dealing more seriously with the US Federal Reserve, oil dues, and increasing dollar payments to Iraq, and the issue must be addressed because of the negative repercussions on the lives of citizens."

By Investing In Black Oil...An Economic Expert Proposes A Solution To The Dollar Crisis In Iraq, 5 NOV

 By Investing In Black Oil...An Economic Expert Proposes A Solution To The Dollar Crisis In Iraq

Economy |Baghdad Today - Baghdad   After the dollar exchange rate crisis worsened, and the situation got out of control in the parallel market in light of the inability of the government and the central bank to contain the crisis, economic expert Nabil Al-Marsoumi proposes a “solution through investing in black oil.”

During the past months, the dollar exchange rates witnessed a noticeable increase, exceeding 160 thousand dinars for every 100 dollars, which ignited the market and raised the prices of food and other commodities, in light of merchants’ fears of the losses that may befall them as a result of this rise. 

Selling Black Oil 

Al-Marsoumi said today, Sunday (November 5, 2023), that “Iraq’s exports of black oil in 2022 amounted to more than 4 billion dollars.”

 The economic expert explained in a blog post followed by “Baghdad Today” that “Iraq can sell black oil in euros or Chinese yuan and use the amounts to settle commercial transactions with countries sanctioned by America, especially Iran.”

Al-Marsoumi pointed out that “if this happens, the exchange rate of the dollar in the parallel market will decline significantly,” pointing out that “this must be preceded by an understanding with the US Federal Bank and obtaining its approval.”

Trade Exchange With Iran

Iraq's imports from Iran annually amount to approximately 10 billion dollars, which is equivalent to 16% of Iraq's total annual imports amounting to 60 billion dollars annually, according to economic estimates.

Iranian trade with Iraq is facing many difficulties, the most important of which is financing and the possibility of obtaining the dollar, especially with the implementation of the platform in the Central Bank of Iraq, which prevents financing trade and sending money to Iran for the purpose of import.

This led to merchants importing from Iran rushing to buy the dollar from the parallel market and bearing an additional cost as a result of the high prices there, and amid these many difficulties.

On (October 31, 2023), an Iranian official revealed a decline in his country’s various exports to Iraq for several reasons, including the difference in the dollar exchange rate.

The former Secretary of the Iranian-Iraqi Chamber of Commerce said in a press statement, “One dollar for an Iranian merchant is equivalent to 1,600 Iraqi dinars, while this number for businessmen from other countries is 1,300 dinars, which is equivalent to the official price of Iraq,” stressing that “this difference in the price that... “Up to 15% is acceptable for Iranian businessmen, but exceeding that will make things more difficult.”   LINK
