Prime Minister of London, Gordon Brown made a very rare appearance with his processor Tony Blair. Together they started off the 24 hours of Middle East Diplomacy to increase investments in the Palestinian countries. Gordon Brown made statements that included that powerful investing in this area can increase real peace and prosperity in the region. The investors present were there because they have an interest for investing in the idea and have some reason to agree to invest.
Apart from this meeting there was a meeting from the so-called Middle East Quartet of peacemakers. U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon is the one who will preside on the meetings and meets with a number of Arab states in a long stretch effort to better economy in the West Bank and Gaza era. One set back that was mentioned was the fact that these investments were not in the smallest way to interrupt peace talks. Brown has pushed Israel to lift its restrictions on the Gaza Strip; they were added after the Islamic militants of Hamas seized control of the territory from Abbas' security forces last June. The sanctions have cut off the flow of all but humanitarian supplies.
Tony Blair was the one to make the clearest point to the investors and that was the investors should potentially consider doing business in that Palestinian area. He demonstrated that many are already doing well, despite the obstacles. Another point was that even though the thoughts of the Palestine are always smeared with problems, those marks are slowly being erased. Tony Blair left the investors with Palestinian Prime minister, with low friendly taxation laws and the fact that the people of Palestine want to make this work.
Personal Reflection
In my personal view, I think that London Prime Minister taking notice in the potential money that both sides of the story can get is large will benefit and speed up the peace process. I think that investors taking notice in places like Palestine is great because it spreads the world's money a little more evenly. No nation should ever be just independent it should relay on other nation to help it in the time of need. London has done a great job of eyeing potential problems, such as Palestine's economy, and search for an answer. It takes one to start a chain and I believe that many others will follow in example. If London were ever to see the US in a time of need they would assist in whatever way they can. Point being that it's not just Palestine that they are helping they are helping the countries that have been bound with Palestine. Also, another point is that London will at nothing stand to watch a conflict unravel, knowing that they might have a chance to assist It.
