🔴 Amos Hochstein, U.S. President Joe Biden's energy security advisor, is currently visiting Israel to discuss economic revitalization plans for Gaza centred around undeveloped offshore natural gas fields.

Now the sharks are coming…🧵
haaretz.com/israel-news/20…
Amos J. Hochstein is an American-Israeli businessman, diplomat, and lobbyist. Currently the Deputy Assistant to the President and Senior Adviser for Energy and Investment under U.S. President Joe Biden Image
If you ask the IDF, you’ll find he was a tank crewman in the Israeli army but his dual US - Israel citizenship changed all that. Hochstein became the broker for the maritime dispute between Israel and Lebanon involving natural gas exploration rights in the eastern Mediterranean. Image
In March 2017, he joined Tellurian, a private Houston-based LNG company, where he served as SVP Marketing until his departure in Sept 2020. He served on the boards of the Atlantic Council and U.S-India Business Council and was a former MOSB of Ukrainian Naftogaz until Oct 2020
Aug 2021, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken appointed Hochstein as the Senior Advisor for Energy Security, and Special Presidential Coordinator for Global Infrastructure and Energy Security. He currently also leads Biden's Partnership for Global Infrastructure and Investment
Fair to say that Biden is listening to Hochstein like his investment depended on it; what are the odds Hochstein who was in Ukraine in the oil & gas sector, where Biden left few squeletons, is now projected as a deal broker to revitalize the Gaza Gas Marine project. Image
A 2019 paper by the UN Conference on Trade and Development suggested that there are substantial oil and gas reserves in Palestinian land and waters and that some of the gas discovered in the eastern Mediterranean could belong to the Palestinians.
However, the paper said, "Israel has begun to exploit [the resources] for its own benefit, while these resources may be considered shared resources, whereby the oil and natural gas exist in common pools."
What we know so far from his visit to Israel is that companies have already expressed interest in the development of the project Gaza Marine project.

There have been suggestions that this gas is the reason for the war between Israel and Hamas...
...with the Israeli government eyeing control of the Gaza Marine field.

Still, the U.S. has now signalled the gas belongs to the Palestinian people and is theirs to exploit. For that to happen, however, peace must be restored.
We of course will be following the development of what seems to be a juicy business which we hope will benefit the Palestinian people and not a few well-known corrupt senior officials of the Palestinian authority.

To be continued...
Amos Hochstein with President Biden, the photo was taken shortly before Joe Biden arrived in 🇺🇦 in 1 meeting with the president and threatened to withhold $1 billion in aid 🇺🇸, if they did not fire their top prosecutor Viktor Shokin.

He allegedly interacted with Hunter Image
A December 2020 Senate Republican report on Hunter's business activities indicates that in October 2015, Hochstein expressed concern that Hunter's role on the Burisma board could compromise U.S. policy in Ukraine.
finance.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/…
Image
When he testified before Congress, he refused, on the advice of his lawyer, to testify about the content of his conversations with Vice President Biden which suggests these two are up to no good and should be watched very closely
In Summer of 2014, shortly after joining the board of Ukrainian energy firm Burisma Holdings, Hunter and his associates at Burisma from Rosemont Seneca Partners discussed speaking with Hochstein...
foxnews.com/politics/top-h…
Image
Amos Hochstein was the middle man between Blue Star Strategy and Joe Biden when he was Vice president. Amos Hochstein was the person that Blue Star Strategies was working closely with to get information to Joe Biden, because they could not go see Joe Biden directly,
Hochstein was an intermediary responsible for delivering all the official information to Joe Biden himself on Hunter Biden and Burisma and advising on what had to be done and how to save that company from being prosecuted, from being closed down thegrayzone.com/2023/07/13/bid…
There is very little doubt that Hochstein has a man or company on the ground in Israel to facilitate any gas dealing including Gaza Marine and hopefully soon we will be able to reveal more on this topic...
Hochstein met with Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, Israeli Minister of Strategic Affairs Ron Dermer, Chief of General Staff of the Israeli Army Herzi Halevi, and Israeli National Security Adviser Tzachi Hanegbi as US wants to prevent a war between Israel and Lebanon
Hochstein said

“There is an opportunity here to develop the gas fields in offshore Gaza, on behalf of the Palestinians," adding he had worked on the issue with the Palestinian Authority in Ramallah for the past year and a half and said, "it is entirely possible”
- The National- Image
We believe that Amos Hochstein met with the Palestinian leader in the West Bank Mahmud Abbas in January 2023 alongside CIA chief William Burns, during a meeting in Ramallah on Sunday 29th January
Blinken envoy was Amos Hochstein
france24.com/en/middle-east…
Now of course this is highly complex especially since Benjamin Netanyahu ruled out return of Palestinian Authority in Gaza

Israeli prime minister opposed the US position on who will govern the enclave when fighting ends
ft.com/content/c8d52c…
So no Hamas, no Palestinian Authorities to rule Gaza... So who do you think is going to get their hand on the Palestinian gas?

Israel? US? or both?
Perhaps the answer to this question lies in the 42 USC §17337. United States-Israel energy cooperation which according to the US Congress is in the highest national security interest of the United States to develop covered energy sources
uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req…
US is of course promising to assist Israel with “regional safety and security issues”.

🇫🇷🇮🇱 How French Zionist’s associations defraud the French tax payers to send military equipment to the Israeli Army.

An investigation from French investigative journalists at “Le Media”, reveals the mechanisms of the tax exemption system of donations in France to finance the Israeli army illegal war in South Lebanon.

This scheme was designed to encourage donations to public utility associations, allows taxable persons to deduct 66% of the amount of their donation from their taxes.

For instance for a 100 euros donation the French government reimburses 66 euros. Diverted public money made it possible for these unscrupulous French Zionist association such as “Tipat Mazal”, to finance the IDF.

according to “Le Media”, Tipat Mazal" encouraged companies to finance Israeli soldiers operating in Gaza or Lebanon whilst highlighting a collection for a company located in a settlement in the West Bank.

The association and others were collecting donation to buy helmet, protective gears and thermal drones which can locate people heat signatures…These thermal drones’ value ranges between 7,000 and 11,000 euros per unit. All, bought thanks to tax-free donations in France wrote “Le Media”.

The French law is very clear on this matter….none of these activities are legal and it is expected of our Minister of Interior to investigate these nefarious practices and punish those who illegally sponsors the genocidal army of Israel and their illegal war in Lebanon.

Source 1: lemediatv.fr/podcasts/2024/…

Source 2: revolutionpermanente.fr/Une-associatio…
“Legalized trafficking of military gear to illegal settlements and occupation forces”

Allegedly one of the key player, the controversial French lawyer Sarah Saldman, explains how to financially support the Israeli genocidal army ( IDF -Tsahal) by claiming tax deductions in France.

The scheme allows any zionist in france who supports the massacre of civilians, to be reimbursed by French tax payers. Disgusting, these guys need to go to jail.
If I am not mistaken this is the CERFA document donors were provided with to get reimbursed for their donation to Zionist associations in France who are backing the Gaza genocide and the invasion of Lebanon.

CERFA: the acronym for "registration and review center for administrative forms". Today, this term refers, by extension, to the administrative forms developed and registered by this center

🇩🇪 Nordtream Sabotage - Germany wants to blame the Ukrainian Andromeda Commando and has issued an arrest warrant for Ukrainian diver Wladimir S over Nord Stream explosions, says the German press.

The warrant was served in a quiet residential area in Pruszków, a suburb southwest of Warsaw in Poland.

According to research conducted by ZEIT, Süddeutsche Zeitung and ARD, S. Wladimir S is considered the main suspect in the investigation conducted by the German Federal Prosecutor General on suspicion of unconstitutional sabotage.

Wladimir S has denied involvement and is believed to have already left Poland however, the German Federal Prosecutor is planning to serve the World with a decoy story called Andromeda and of course, a good conspiracy needs a "Patsy".

According to the three media outlets, German investigators were also able to identify another man and a woman, also Ukrainians, who were involved in the attacks but warrants were served to them.


This is a cover-up, the Andromeda story doesn't hold water, not even close.zeit.de/politik/deutsc…Image
Image
The real name of the 44-year-old Ukrainian diver called by the investigation Wladimir S is apparently Volodymyr Zhuralov
correction: the two other Ukrainian nationals identified by German investigators (a man and a woman) were not served with an arrest warrant.

These two persons would appear to be from a Scuba Family diving school from Kiev in Ukraine - the owners of the diving school, Ewgen U. and his wife Switlana.

ANAT SCHWARTZ - THE FRENCH CONNECTION
the Israeli filmmaker who wrote a very controversial post in the New York Times titled ”Screams Without Words’’ on how Palestinian resistance group Hamas allegedly weaponized Sexual Violence on Oct. 7.”

She's worked with the best filmmakers with no experience and for the NYT with no experience either,

So what's her secret?Image
Anat is believed to have served in the Israeli Air Force Intelligence the Lahak Modi'in also known as “Lamdan” or the the Modi’in Squadron, which is where many people believe her bias comes from.

She was assigned by the New York Times to work with her partner’s nephew Adam Sella and veteran Times reporter Jeffrey Gettleman, on an investigation into alleged sexual violence by Hamas on October 7.

Lamdan (LMDAN) is responsible for the formulation of the aerial intelligence picture and participates in forging the overall intelligence view as part of the Israeli Intelligence Community.

It operates several research and collection units, including the Technical Assistance Unit (formerly the Air Photography Unit) which analyzes aerial photography, and the Zoom Unit which studies the procurement of new aircraft.

Lamdan also operates alongside Aman's Visual Intelligence Branch and the Naval Intelligence Division's Visual Intelligence Unit.

In the case of Anat Schwartz, she would have been attached to the Aman’s Visual Intelligence Unit which according to Wikipedia is attached to the Israeli Intelligence Corps (Heil HaModi'in). The Intelligence Corps includes Unit 8200, which is the IDF central collection unit, including the Hatzav Unit, responsible for collecting OSINT intelligence.

Subordinate to Unit 8200 is Unit Hatzav responsible for collecting OSINT intelligence. The unit monitors and collects military intelligence–related information from television, radio, newspapers, and the internet. The translation of various items accounts for part of what is termed "basic intelligence", which is collected by the units. These are the people you will find embedded in Newspapers or TV networks in Israel and abroad.
The French Connection
Anat happened to have a strong connection with France. This young Israeli director with impeccable French is a graduate of the prestigious Femis (Ecole nationale supérieure des professions de l'image et du son, in Paris ), which decided for his first attempt, to make a documentary on French aliyah and more precisely on its disillusionments.

Upon finishing cinema studies in Jerusalem at the Sam Spiegel Film and Television School, she joined FEMIS in Paris. In this context, she had to make a short film that turned out to be a series (3 episodes). 

She is originally from Haifa but spent a considerable amount of time in Tel Aviv where many French people have arrived in recent years,  even though their image among Israelis is not always very good.

Anat gave an interview in France regarding her movie “The Promised One” or “ La Promise” in French, during which she explains how the French who arrive in Israel pose a great challenge to them, the Israelis”.

According to her “The French Jews reflect back to the Israelis the image of what they are”. This is also why they sometimes arouse hostility.

In Paris they were "the Jews" and in Israel, they are "the French".femis.frImage

🇫🇷🇮🇱 FRANCE - ISRAEL
The French Ministry of Foreign Affairs indicated yesterday afternoon that France does not plan to stop its arms sales to Israel. 🧵

➡️ During his weekly press briefing, Christophe Lemoine, deputy spokesperson for French Diplomacy, was again questioned yesterday, on the issue of arms sales to Israel.

➡️ According to the 2023 report submitted by the French Ministry of the Armed Forces in July 2022 to Parliament, France exported nearly €200 million in arms to Israel between 2013 and 2022, making Paris one of the largest exporters of weapons in Tel Aviv.

➡️ According to the report from the Ministry of the Armed Forces, weapons exported by France to Israel include "bombs, torpedoes, rockets, missiles, [...] high-tech missile and bomb guidance systems, as well as machine guns

➡️ On the subject of Israel, Lemoine specified that France remains a “marginal” partner, with exports to this country representing “only 0.1% of total French exports of war material” for the year 2022.

➡️ Responding to a question about the possible use of these weapons in the Gaza conflict, he reported a “precise and careful interministerial examination” governing French exports.

➡️ Lemoine insisted on the existence of a particularly “strict” arms sales control system in France. This process involves a review taking into account “respect for human rights and international humanitarian law” by the recipient country. This assessment also focuses on the potential consequences “in terms of peace, security and regional stability”.

“Arms exports are not done in a rapid and inconsiderate manner.”

➡️ His response comes in a context where parliamentarians and Amnesty International recently called upon President Macron to stop military cooperation with Israel.Image
🇫🇷 France under pressure to suspend military sales to Israel as war in Gaza grinds on
NGOs and leftist members of the opposition have increased the pressure on France's government to reconsider arms sales to Israel in the wake of the war in Gaza and follow in the footsteps of other European nations that made moves to suspend military exports over concerns about the humanitarian situation on the ground.Image
The Shuheibar case
In July 2014, 8-year-old Afnan Shuheibar, her 16-year-old brother Oday, and her three cousins Basel, Jihad and Wassim – ages 8 to 11 – went up to the roof of the Shuheibar home in Gaza City to feed the pigeons when they were struck by a missile.

It was fired by the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF), but what helped guide it to the Shuheibars’ home was a small black position sensor around 2 centimetres long lodged deep inside the missile. On it were three words, with some letters partially erased: “EUROFARAD PARIS FRANCE”.

Wassim and Jihad were killed instantly, and Afnan died in her father’s arms on the way to the hospital.

In 2016, the Shuheibar family filed a legal suit against Eurofarad. The company has since been bought by Exxelia Technologies, which is now facing charges of complicity in war crimes in France. (Exxelia itself was recently bought by the US group HEICO but is still headquartered in Paris.)

🇪🇬🇵🇸🇮🇱 EGYPT - GAZA - ISRAEL

Cairo has sent around 40 tanks and armored personnel carriers to northeastern Sinai in the past two weeks as part of a series of measures to enhance security along its border with Gaza.
Egyptian Forces were deployed before Israel expands its military operations to include Rafah in southern Gaza, where most of the Strip’s residents have fled in search of safety, exacerbating Egypt’s concerns about the possibility of forcing Palestinians to leave the Gaza Strip en masse.

Egypt has erected a concrete border wall with a foundation six meters deep and topped with barbed wire since the outbreak of the war between Israel and Hamas on Oct. 7. The security sources stated that Egypt has also established sand barriers and enhanced surveillance at border deployment sites,Image
Egypt Border Wall being built in front of Children, a sadistic way to tell them that freedom is not for them

Israeli warplanes have already bombed Rafah and killed many on Frida - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered the army to prepare to evacuate the displaced, so what will become of these children who for many have no more families?

WHAT'S THEIR CRIMES?
How can Netanyahu promise a safe evacuation of more than 1,4 million palestinian.?

The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) would tell you that it takes long months to prepare a solid plan to shelter a large amount of IDPs in accordance with international law. They should be screaming at Netanyahu claims which clearly is endangering the lives of so many innocents.Image
