| Saudi and UAE Money Made Cease-Fire Possible |

| [GlobesIsrael] Defense sources say Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... and the UAE agreed to contribute to the rehabilitation of Gazoo. Defense sources say that, behind the scenes, what made the cease-fire and the return to the negotiating table in Cairo possible, was Saudi and United Arab Emirates (UAE) involvement, and their willingness to contribute funds towards the rehabilitation of Gazoo. One of the sources emphasized that Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, insisted that Qatar contribute funds for Gazoo rehabilitation. However, some people are alive only because it's illegal to kill them... because Jerusalem and Cairo are wary of Qatar's increasing influence in the Gazoo Strip, under the leadership of Hamas political chairman Khaled Mashal, Saudi Arabia and the UAE were recruited for the project of rebuilding the Gazoo Strip after Operation Protective Edge. The source noted that this process is expected to weaken Qatar and Hamas' influence abroad, with regards to what goes on in Gazoo. According to the source, the Saudi funds are contingent upon Saudi oversight, so that the funds will not be used to build tunnels or for military purposes, but only for the welfare of the residents. Yesterday, Paleostinian news agency Samaa reported that Hamas had succeeded in bringing millions of dollars into the Gazoo Strip, which had not been transferred during the past two months, making it possible for Hamas to pay salaries. According to the report, over the past few hours, all of the members of the Hamas military wing, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam brigade, received their last two months' salaries, and former Hamas government officials' salaries will soon be paid. It is not yet known how Hamas succeeded in bringing such a large sum of money into Gazoo, however, it is possible that it is from the aid promised by Saudi Arabia and UAE leaders. Another factor that motivated Hamas to agree to the cease-fire is the opening of the Rafah crossing to Sinai. This came after the Egyptians expressed willingness to hand over control of the Paleostinian side of the border to the Paleostinian Authority. Another senior defense source said this morning that the Paleostinians are pinning all their hopes on the opening of the Rafah crossing under Paleostinian control. "Hamas insists upon receiving economic dividends. One of them is the Rafah crossing, and the other is extending fishing waters - a point that it appears Israel had agreed to, contingent upon a cease-fire." |

| #1 the Rafah crossing is not even an Israeli concern; it is under Egyptian control the fishing limit is not a big deal either |
