Saudi Arabia has confirmed its intention to assign one billion dollars for the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip. Prince Saud al Faisal stated at the international conference of the donor countries, which currently takes place at Egypt’s Sharm-el-Sheikh, that the funds would be wired through the Saudi Fund for Development.
US Secretary of State Hilalry Clinton announced the allocation of $900 million to Palestine at the conference. About $300 million of the amount will be meant for the Gaza Strip, whereas the remaining $600 million will be wired to the Palestinian authorities to boost the economic development of the country. The assistance of the donor countries to the Palestinian economy, including the recreation of Gaza, may exceed $3 billion.
The Gulf Cooperation Council, made up of Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates offered $1.6 billion of gratuitous grants for the recreation of Gaza’s infrastructure yesterday, Itar-Tass reports. Russia decided to support Palestine with 50 armored vehicles, two civil helicopters, as well as with food and medications. Russia’s Dmitry Medvedev sent a message to participants of the above-mentioned conference saying that the stability of the Palestinian state structure was a matter of special significance to Russia.

yep, they can buy a lot of weapons with that kind of money.
BiBi may not play that game.
I guess the current economic hardship the US is going through is not affeting the US and other “do Gooder” nations the ability to to the most stupid and Tarded of things.
Oh yea ,I forgot, we elected an ARAB as POTUS, so he’ll have nothing to object to.
Hillary, for shame, just as I was starting to think you’d be any good. The fact that she does not realise what this means, means one bad thing comming our way. And one thing is all it would take.
Developing new and improved suicide bomber vests.....
Talk about throwing good money after bad...
Tank targets.
Armored vehicles, yea even tanks, are great. Maybe it will get the saracens to concentrate their assets in them. They make great targets for airplanes.
One who may well be an illegal alien with loyalties other than we usually expect in an American president.
The factory just got an order for 50 Javelins. Though if the Palestinians are made of the same stuff as other Arab tankers, they won’t need them. Kill one and the other 49 crews will jump out and abandon them. So, basically, Israel just acquired 49 Russian tanks at the cost of one Javelin and a paint job.
Of course, the Palestinians will paint them bright colors and emblazen them with the legend “PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT” in English.
heh :)
They would make good "ambulances," too.
Russia to send 50 armored vehicles. Yeah, people in “refugee camps” need armored vehicles.
Pre-placement.
The first one.
“Of course, the Palestinians will paint them bright colors and emblazen them with the legend “PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT” in English.”
Or “BABY MILK DELIVERY”.
“Russia’s Dmitry Medvedev sent a message to participants of the above-mentioned conference saying that the stability of the Palestinian state structure was a matter of special significance to Russia.”
That’s the reason I made the comment. We’ll just have to see if they actually follow though with it.
