The David Hunter Perspective - March 12th 2025

1)Gulf States Offer Peace Plan for Gaza: The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) has endorsed an Egyptian plan for peace in Gaza that offers $53 billion reconstruction funding and provides for transfer of authority in Gaza to the Palestinian Authority (PA), as first step in forming an independent State of Palestine. But Trump and Netanyahu reject it, instead supporting the "Trump Plan" for removal of all Palestinians from Gaza, so it can be 'redeveloped' as a luxury resort. Why are they doing this?

2)Russia Accuses European Nations of Escalation towards World War: The EU nations in past week have held several summits resulting in a 'ReArm Europe Plan' of $150 billion, to expand European defense industry and prepare defense against future Russia aggression. But Putin is accusing the Europeans of 'aggressive behavior' likely leading to world war. Is he bluffing?

3)Trump Proposes Withdrawing 35,000 US Troops from Germany--- and Moving Them to Hungary?: Likely in retaliation to Germany's incoming Chancellor Friedrich Merz's comment that Germany no long had a trustworthy ally in the USA, Trump is now considering withdrawing 35,000 troops from Germany and moving them into Hungary. What do you think of this idea?

4)Ukraine Delegation Met US Delegation Tuesday in Saudi Arabia To Discuss Peace Talks with Russia: After US-Russia talks held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia last week, the Ukrainians and US are holding similar talks in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia to align positions for a possible cease fire. What is happening in these talks?

5)Elon Musk Calls US Sen. Mark Kelly a Traitor?: Kelly is a retired Navy combat pilot and astronaut who just visited for the third time Ukraine and met w/ Ukraine military pilots. He posted on 'X' that US must continue supporting Ukraine's fight against Russian aggression. Musk responded Kelly was a 'traitor' for saying this. Why did he say this?
