Trump family secretly signed $500m crypto deal with 'spy sheikh' who has been pushing for access to US intelligence

from Daily Mail

The Trump family quietly signed a $500 million cryptocurrency deal with a powerful Abu Dhabi royal just days before Donald Trump returned to the White House in January 2025.

A previously undisclosed agreement that sent nearly $200 million to Trump-linked entities and was followed months later by the US granting the same foreign power sweeping access to sensitive artificial intelligence technology.

The deal, involving Trump-backed crypto firm World Liberty Financial, was signed on January 16, 2025, by Eric Trump and executives tied to Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the UAE's national security adviser and brother of the country's president.

The previously undisclosed deal was confirmed by the Wall Street Journal, company documents and others familiar with the matter. 

The transaction made a foreign government official the largest shareholder in a company tied to the US president. The move is unprecedented in modern American politics, raising questions about conflicts of interest and the influence of foreign powers.

The buyer was Aryam Investment 1, a company controlled by Sheikh Tahnoon, one of the most powerful figures in the Middle East. 

The agreement granted Aryam a 49 percent  ownership stake in World Liberty for $500 million - with $250 million paid immediately, and $187 million of that first installment directed to Trump family entities, according to documents reviewed by the Journal.

Tahnoon, who serves as the UAE's national security adviser and oversees a sprawling business empire worth more than $1.3 trillion, has long been viewed with suspicion inside Washington's intelligence and national security circles...

The 100-Word Ceasefire “Proposal” Trump Sent Hamas

(The proposal was delivered to Hamas by a Jewish New York real estate developer. It basically says Hamas needs to disarm and leave power while the IDF remains in Gaza as another government is formed and they must immediately hand over all hostages and aid and food will ONLY start coming into Gaza AFTER negotiations are complete which as we know with Glorious Israel, will never happen.)

(So basically what this agreement says is... give up, get out and let us continue to starve and ethnically cleanse Gaza.) 

from Drop Site News

A five-point summary outlining U.S. President Donald Trump’s proposal for a Gaza ceasefire was delivered to Hamas by mediators over the weekend. Trump has characterized the ultimatum as the final offer to the Palestinian resistance movement before Israel accelerates its campaign to enact the total destruction of the Gaza Strip.

The brief, approximately 100-word document, presented in Arabic and obtained by Drop Site, is titled, “The Main Proposal.” The full text and English translation is at the bottom of this article.

The outline, which contains sparse details, states that, within 48 hours of accepting the ultimatum, Hamas and other resistance groups would release all Israeli captives, living and deceased. In return, Israel would free an unspecified number of “Palestinian prisoners sentenced to life and detainees from Gaza” within 48 hours.

Netanyahu hinges coalition survival on Gaza reoccupation, reports say

from Daily Sabah

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is pressing ahead with plans to reoccupy Gaza, with Israeli media reporting that failure to launch the offensive could trigger the collapse of his governing coalition as far-right ministers threaten to walk away.

The daily Maariv cited an unnamed military source saying Netanyahu is "insisting on moving forward with the offensive Gideon's Chariots 2."

The source added: "He understands that without the operation, he will not be able to maintain government cohesion and it will fall apart."

Far-right ministers, including National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, have threatened to withdraw from Netanyahu's coalition if he agrees to any deal to halt the ongoing Israeli military offensive in Gaza, now approaching 23 months.

Regarding a potential hostage release deal, the military source said Israel was "negotiating according to the plan of (US Middle East envoy) Steve Witkoff two weeks ago to release some captives without ending the war."

Netanyahu orders Israeli army to conquer all of Gaza

from Mondoweiss

The Israeli war cabinet met on Monday to decide on the next phase of Israel’s war on Gaza. The meeting was reportedly to choose between ending the war in favor of ceasefire talks or expanding it to reoccupy the entire Strip. According to initial unconfirmed reports, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has briefed “friendly journalists” that he has ordered the Israeli army to “conquer Gaza” in the face of opposition from the army’s Chief of Staff, Eyal Zamir. Netanyahu’s office reportedly told N12: “The decision has been made — Israel is going to conquer the Gaza Strip.”

The ceasefire was supported by Israeli army officials, while the decision to reoccupy Gaza is favored by the hardline ministers like National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, who are key allies in Prime Minister Netanyahu’s rightwing coalition and are credited with playing an influential role in sustaining the ongoing Israeli onslaught.

According to the Israeli army’s radio on Monday, Zamir had demanded “clarity” from the Israeli government regarding the future of the war effort, reportedly discouraging the reoccupation of Gaza, believing it would “drain” the Israeli army.

Zamir’s message to the cabinet came amid Israel’s announcement last week of the end of its latest military offensive in Gaza, dubbed Operation Gideon’s Chariots, while one of Israel’s cabinet members, Zeev Elkin, threatened to “annex parts of Gaza” as a “pressure tool” against Hamas in ceasefire negotiations.

The message was also issued following the visit of U.S. Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff to Israel and Gaza last week. On Friday, Witkoff met families of Israeli captives in Tel Aviv, where he reaffirmed U.S. efforts to reach a ceasefire deal, without giving any details on the progress of the talks. Witkoff said that Hamas was considering giving up its weapons, while the resistance group responded in a statement saying that it would only lay down its arms after the establishment of an independent Palestinian state...

'The Witkoff Massacre': Hundreds Killed or Wounded as Israeli Forces Open Fire on Gaza Food Aid Site


 

from Common Dreams

"There was fire from all directions, from naval warships, from tanks and drones,"  Amr Abu Teiba, 

...

In a point-by-point breakdown on Friday, Drop Site News' Jeremy Scahill detailed that Witkoff, through his negotiations with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, is trying to "strong-arm Hamas into a deal that does not end the genocide" that continues apace in Gaza.

After Israel last week rejected tentative language amenable to both the U.S. and Hamas negotiators, Witkoff responded on Saturday to an updated draft submitted by Hamas with a rejection of his own, calling it "totally unacceptable."

Meanwhile, the threat of famine for the entire population of Gaza continues—all with firm U.S. backing and complicity, infuriating humanitarians worldwide as the death and suffering mounts.

Reda Abu Jazar toldAl-Jazeera on Sunday that her brother was among those killed as he attempted to retrieve food at the distribution site in Rafah.

"Let them stop these massacres, stop this genocide. They are killing us," she said...

Trump warns Netanyahu on Iran talks, pushes Gaza ceasefire plan

from al Mayadeen English

US President Donald Trump revealed on Wednesday that he had issued a warning to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu the previous week, advising him against taking any actions that might interfere with the nuclear negotiations involving Iran.

"I told him this would be inappropriate to do right now because we're very close to a solution now," Trump told reporters, noting that "That could change at any moment."

A senior aide informed reporters that the Trump administration is preparing to complete a new written agreement as early as Wednesday, which could serve as the foundation for a possible ceasefire arrangement in Gaza between "Israel" and Hamas.

"We are on the precipice of sending out a new term sheet that hopefully will be delivered later on today," Steve Witkoff, US Special Envoy to the Middle East announced, adding that Trump will review it while expressing optimism it will lead to a long-term resolution of the war in Gaza...

Hamas, Witkoff agree on permanent Gaza cease-fire

from Daily Sabah

Palestinian resistance group Hamas announced Tuesday that it has reached a preliminary agreement with U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff on a general framework for a permanent cease-fire in Gaza.

"We have reached an agreement on a general framework with Witkoff that ensures a permanent ceasefire, a complete withdrawal of Israeli occupation forces from Gaza, and the unhindered entry of humanitarian aid," it said in a statement.

The proposed framework includes a permanent halt to hostilities, a full withdrawal of Israeli forces from the Gaza Strip, the establishment of a professional committee to administer the enclave, and the uninterrupted flow of humanitarian aid, Anadolu Agency (AA) cited Hamas as saying. The group said the deal also included the release of 10 Israeli hostages, the exchange of several bodies with an agreed number of Palestinians held captive by Israel.

The agreement, if confirmed, would mark a major step toward ending months of deadly conflict and addressing the growing humanitarian crisis in the besieged Palestinian territory...

Hamas says it accepts US ceasefire proposal, awaits Israel’s response

Here is Israel's response... they burned children alive.


 

And they did that because... they want...


 ... the land.

from PressTV

Hamas says it has accepted a proposal forwarded by the US’s regional envoy, which reportedly includes withdrawal of Israeli forces from the Gaza Strip.

“We have accepted Steve Witkoff (the American envoy)’s proposal to reach a ceasefire and the withdrawal of hostile forces,” a member of the Gaza-based resistance movement’s Political Bureau, Basem Naim, said on Tuesday.

“We are awaiting the occupation’s response,” the Palestinian official added.

Naim, however, did not comment on the details of the proposal.

Earlier this month, Naim had noted that Witkoff had personally assured the group that the United States would pressure the Israeli regime to end its near-total siege on the Gaza Strip and permit humanitarian access.

The envoy, according to Naim, had said the US would start applying the pressure within two days of Hamas’s releasing American-Israeli trooper Edan Alexander, whom the group handed over on May 12.

According to the Hamas member, Witkoff had also promised that US President Donald Trump would make a public call for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and for negotiations aimed at achieving a “permanent ceasefire.”

Witkoff, though, “did nothing of this,” Naim said at the time...

At a Dubai Conference, Trump’s Conflicts Take Center Stage

(Jesus Christ the corruption and nepotism in the Trump tin-pot regime is ENDLESS. Zach Witkoff is Steve Witkoff's SON. I just did a video this morning talking about how Trump and our oligarchs want to turn America and Gaza into the UAE full of corruption and royal families and... slaves. And this was posted a little while ago. Holy shit.)

from the New York Times

Sitting in front of a packed auditorium in Dubai, a founder of the Trump family cryptocurrency business made a brief but monumental announcement on Thursday. A fund backed by Abu Dhabi, he said, would be making a $2 billion business deal using the Trump firm’s digital coins.

That transaction would be a major contribution by a foreign government to President Trump’s private venture — one that stands to generate hundreds of millions of dollars for the Trump family. And it is a public and vivid illustration of the ethical conflicts swirling around Mr. Trump’s crypto firm, which has blurred the boundary between business and government.

Zach Witkoff, a founder of the Trump family crypto firm, World Liberty Financial, revealed that a so-called stablecoin developed by the firm would be used to complete the transaction between the state-backed Emirati investment firm MGX and Binance, the largest crypto exchange in the world.

Virtually every detail of Mr. Witkoff’s announcement, made during a conference panel with Mr. Trump’s second-eldest son, contained a conflict of interest....

US, Iran begin new round of nuclear talks in Oman

(Witkoff is not a legitimate negotiator. He's a NY real estate developer with zero understanding of the history of the conflict in the Middle East. He is there to torpedo the negotiations on behalf of Israel.)

from Daily Sabah

The United States and Iran began a new round of negotiations over details of a potential nuclear deal in Oman Saturday.

U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi are again leading the discussions, which this time include a technical-level meeting between experts from both sides.

The talks are aimed at striking a new deal that would stop Iran from developing nuclear weapons – an objective Tehran denies pursuing – in return for relief from crippling sanctions.

U.S. President Donald Trump pulled out of an earlier multilateral nuclear deal during his first term in office.

Araghchi has expressed "cautious optimism", saying this week: "If the sole demand by the U.S. is for Iran to not possess nuclear weapons, this demand is achievable."...

Did Trump Buy Bibi's Concession on Cease-fire with Inauguration Money?

Steve Witkoff May Have Bought Netanyahu's Agreement on Cease-fire Deal with Surplus Inauguration Money

by Scott Creighton

UPDATE: I'm sorry. It's not 170 million dollars donated by the swamp for TrumpyBear's party... it's actually $250,000,000.00. A quarter of a billion dollars for a party with no oversight on how it is spent (or used as a bribe) by anyone.

---

Gee, I wonder how some unknown real estate developer, Steve Witkoff, convinced savage Zionist-for-life Benjamin Netanyahu (Bibi) to give into Donald Trump's request that he risk it all by accepting the cease-fire deal which he had been refusing to accept since May of 2024?

Is it the 'power of Trump' as so many suddenly sycophantic alt-left influence peddlers would have you believe?

Or...

Trump's inauguration is on Monday. The whole thing will be a scam as we know Bibi and the IDF will violate it as soon as they need to before 1 single aid truck gets into Gaza.

But why do it in the first place?

Oh wait... it's gonna start on Monday you say?

Hmmmm
