This is simply amazing, the border that Israel controls 100%, the border between Jordan and the West Bank, is now open for the very first time... for TRADE! Yet, the border controlled by the 'Muslim Brotherhood', the border between Gaza and Egypt, remains virtually closed to trade.
am beyond excited to announce that we are formalising a partnership that will ensure one of my fondest goals shall be achieved, that of a youth exchange between the children of Gaza and those of Europe. I am even more excited because we are focusing on the youth of Gaza as well as Belfast and Free Derry in the North of Ireland. These kids, ages 15 to 18, all know what violent conflict is about, and all of them deserve a chance to play with and understand their brothers and sisters from distant but all too similar conflict zones.
