Outrageous but true : Israeli official: The transportation project, launched without publicity amid U.S.-brokered Saudi-Israel normalization talks, has picked up steam due to Ansarullah attacks in the Red Sea.

A land corridor for the delivery of cargo from the Persian Gulf States to Israel through Saudi Arabia and Jordan and back is up and running, with operations increasing during the Israel-Hamas war as alternate sea routes have come under attack.

They not only doing nothing to help Palestinians, they now helping Israel to bypass Yemeni de-facto blockade.

The EU considers Russian bank concession to safeguard Black Sea grain deal.

The EU is considering to allow a Russian bank under sanctions to carve out a subsidiary that would reconnect to the global financial network, as a sop to Moscow aimed at safeguarding the threatened Black Sea grain deal that allows Ukraine to export food to global markets.

The plan, which was proposed by Moscow through negotiations brokered by the UN, would allow Russian Agricultural Bank to create a subsidiary to handle payments related to grain exports. The entity would be permitted to use the global Swift financial messaging system, which was closed to the largest Russian banks last year.

The bank carve out was discussed by EU leaders at a summit in Brussels last week, as a potential means to convince Moscow to extend the Black Sea agreement beyond its July 17 expiry date.

The idea was seen by its supporters as “the least worst option” to secure Vladimir Putin’s support for an extension. Officials said that Russia’s’ threats to end the deal appeared more serious this time than during previous extension negotiations.

The proposal is assessed by EU officials as to its legality and feasibility. Complicating the issue is that the Russian Agricultural Bank is fully owned by the Kremlin and its former chief executive, Dmitry Patrushev, is the current agriculture minister and the son of Nikolai Patrushev, a Putin aide and secretary of Russia’s security council who has been instrumental in pushing the war against Ukraine.

Israeli Intelligence and Political Circles are starting to doubt the validity and constraints of the Camp David Treaty, signed in 1979, and considered one of the most important treaties in relations to Israel.

The Mossad believes that :

1 - The Egyptian Border Security forces have become "lackluster" and purposefully allow certain smuggling operations to occur unrestricted, this comes after #Hamas and all other organizations in #Gaza purged themselves of #MuslimBrotherhood elements and made promises that the weapons and arms being sent to them will not be smuggled back or directed towards Egyptian forces.

2 - The Egyptian government refuses to cooperate with the Israeli one on the recent shootout that killed 4 Israeli soldiers stationed on the border, Mossad believes that the higher-ups, under the table, are purposefully being "off-hands" in regards to the soldiers and that more operations committed are possible, and that the Egyptian border can not be considered "safe." anymore.

3 - Mossad notes that Egypt has become the third largest importer of #weapons globally over the past several years, and a sizeable amount of the weapons imported are of an offensive nature, coupled with points 1 and point 2, alongside other points that will be written about, the situation can escalate from "cold peace" to passive or outright hostility.

4 - Israeli lobby attempts in #Germany to prevent the sale of Type 209 #Submarines, which directly threaten the Israeli navy presence in the #RedSea and the Eastern Ă Mediterranean, have failed, although they are succeeding in America by forcing the Americans to refuse to upgrade the arms of "sensitive" fields - like the #Airforce, the same efforts are not bearing fruits in other countries.

5 - The Attempts of diversification from American arms, although tolerated at first, are now considered a national security threat to Israel, because one of the main points of the Camp David Treaty was that Israel would always maintain a Qualitative Edge over American-supplied partners in the region, the recent purchase of #Russian, Ă Chinese, #Indian, #SouthKorean, and #European countries arms, with most of these purchases being of an offensive nature, is causing circles in #TelAviv to be seriously concerned, especially there are Hardliners of a Military and Political nature in Egypt who never believed in #CampDavid in the first place as a long term plan, a researcher at the Israeli Command and Staff college and #Jerusalem Institute for Strategy and Security links this path to the same one taken by #Nasser, a staunch Egyptian leader who fought 3 #wars against Israel.

6 - Normalization with #Iran is panicking the Israelis, and coupled with the previous points, the noose is figurately, and perhaps literally, being tightened around their necks.

7 - Ă Mossad also noted that although #Egypt is ranked around 40-45th globally in terms of military spending, the quantity, and increase of size, logistical centers, and military factories has increased the standing of Egypt, militarily and industrially, on a regional and international scale around the top 20.

Sudan’s ruling military gave the Russians approval to build a navy base.

Now, out of the blue,Washington says it's "helping the democratic transition" in Sudan.

This is like a dark comedy of the cold war, where brutal dictators are replaced by even more brutal dictators in order to keep the world order intact.

In the mean time, millions of innocent people forced to live in a misery of war and oppression so the world "super powers" can enjoy their world domination.
