Gaza's gas: EU millions up in smoke

More embarrassingly, in the late 1990s a major scandal was brought to light by a reporter named Ronen Bergman, who revealed that the money from the Clearance Revenues had been transferred to a secret account that only Arafat, Mohammad Rashid and Avi Matan, the partner of Koko Ovadia, had access to.

BY CECILIA FERRARA AND ASSIA RABINOWITZ

BRUSSELS - “As you can see, I have no electricity at home at this moment,” says Yousef via Skype. “I have a fuel generator that I can use during the power cuts. If I run out of fuel, like now, I have a transformer connected to a car battery with which I can switch on a couple of light bulbs, recharge my laptop or watch TV. But we‘ve gotten used to the situation; it’s been going on for five years.”

Yousef al Helou, a reporter from Gaza for Al Etejah TV, is talking about living with power cuts.

The Gaza Strip suffers daily power cuts of eight hours or more. Yousef is one of the privileged people who own a fuel generator (and who can afford the fuel). Just a few days ago, for his TV station, he covered a story about the Dahrir family story - a father, mother and three children who were killed by a house fire. The electric company had cut the power of the family’s house and an unextinguished candle caused the tragedy.

During the funeral procession, a group of citizens passing by the Gaza Electricity distribution company shattered the windows and windshield of a vehicle outside the building.

It was a demonstration against what people see as the latest casualties of the power cuts. Last September, in the Bureij refugee camp, a house fire in identical circumstances killed two children, three years and 18 months old. Again, people came out on the streets in one of the rare protests against Hamas, the militant group which holds power in the strip.

The energy issue in Gaza is of paramount importance; for the citizens, 1.7 million of whom live in an area of 365 square kilometres; for water desalinisation and purification; for hospitals and their patients; for the Hamas government; and last but not least for one of the few investments in infrastructure in Gaza: the Gaza Power Plant (GPP).

It is an issue that involves Israeli, Palestinian and British business interests and €250 million from the European Union, which seems to have been spent somewhat carelessly, to say the least.

To better understand the dynamics, we have to go back to 2006.

Massive aid decided hastily

In January 2006, Hamas won the Palestinian elections. For several months, chaos reigned. The international community was looking for a way to continue its assistance programmes while avoiding negotiations with a party which is considered to be terrorist entity by many Western states.

"At the time, the political perspective was deadlocked, no co-operation was possible with this government. Fundamental for us, was to help people without going through Hamas," said Michael Docherty, Director of the Israel, Palestine and Jordan office of EuropeAid, the European Commission's development unit, in Brussels.

In June 2006, the soldier Gilad Shalit was kidnapped by a Palestinian commando.

In retaliation, Israel bombed the Gaza power plant. It had provided nearly 30 percent of the electricity needed in the region, with its destruction posing the risk of an imminent humanitarian crisis.

The European Union set up emergency relief to allow hospital generators and water pumps to operate. It also introduced a mechanism for purchasing fuel to help the plant resume electricity production.

"We had no other choice … there are insufficient lines from Israel and Egypt, and the ones that are there don’t work well!" Docherty said.

The implementation of this mechanism is subject to a highly secure protocol, with European auditors present at every stage of the fuel delivery process.

"Every three weeks, we received the bill … Then we checked if the amount corresponded exactly with what had been done at the plant, according to our records. Brussels then sent the payment to Dor Alon [the Israeli oil company that is the sole supplier of fuel to Gaza]. We were never in direct contact with them,” a contact involved in the procedure said.

"For every euro spent on aid, there is a euro going on audits," the source added, on the cost of the security arrangements.

The question if the support, which had been decided in a hurry, should have been kept up for long, was a controversial one.

First of all, the EU never launched a tender or signed a contract with Dor Alon for the supply of fuel. It merely took up the agreement between the Israeli company and the Palestinian Authority (PA), an organ of state run by Fatah, a more moderate Palestinian group which controls the West Bank under Israeli supervision. No-one has ever seen the contract in Brussels.

If anyone asked, they were presented with an old document that had never been revised. According to Docherty: "It is one of the reasons why we stopped the programme."

It was the only reason, however. Because for all these years, and despite the help of Europe, the plant has never worked properly.

Scarce and expensive electricity

If GPP has never operated at full capacity, it is primarily because the damage caused by the 2006 bombings was never fully repaired. Only three of all six turbines are operational.

The weekly delivery of fuel has been limited by Israel to 2.1 million litres (while demand is 600,000 litres per day). The fuel convoys from Israel were also regularly blocked at the checkpoint for "security reasons," which prevented the power plant from running smoothly.

In Gaza, almost everyone can tell you what the region's energy need is in terms of MW.

The electrical grid distributes a total of 167MW for an estimated demand of at least 300MW. The plant, which is supposed to produce 140MW, actually generates between 30 and 60MW.

The price it asks for its electricity is between four and seven times higher than energy which comes directly from Israel or Egypt (2.3 NIS per kWh, against 0.56 and 0.32 from Israel and Egypt’s electricity, respectively).

But maintaining a Palestinian-owned energy source is a strategic concern, even if it is actually held by private interests.

Energy dominance

A child of the Oslo Accords in the 1990s, the Gaza power plant, or Gaza Power Generating Private Ltd Co (GPGC), was one of the flagship projects of the future Palestinian state, a step on the path to energy independence.

Built between 1999 and 2004, the structure was designed to run on gas (because Egypt and its resources were close and natural gas had been discovered off the coast of Gaza in 1999). British Gas did some prospecting on the gas fields, but it never went further.

Also in 1999, a group of Palestinian investors who had fled Lebanon in 1948, the Consolidated Contractors Company (CCC), a close associate of British Gas, persuaded US firm Enron to invest in the construction of the power plant in Gaza.

The investors negotiated a "capacity payment" of $2.5 million per month, meaning that the Palestinian Authority (PA) must pay a monthly "rent" to the Palestine Electric Company (Pec), the owner of the plant, whether the 140MW that they are supposed to generate is generated or not.

The Pec is a private company listed on the Nablus stock market in the West Bank (in 2002 Enron was replaced by Morganti, a satellite of the CCC). Its profits are remarkable: in 2006 the company made a profit of $7.4 million, in 2008, $6.3 million.

In addition, CCC is about to extend its control over the energy sector.

Some of the company’s people are on the board of the Palestine Investment Fund (PIF), a Palestinian public investment fund established under the late Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat (whose financial advisor at the time, Mohammed Rashid, was the PIF’s director).

The PIF also has shares in Gaza Marine, the consortium that owns the gas reserves off the coast of Gaza. And the same people are in talks with the PA for the construction of the Palestinian Power Generating Company (PPGC), the future powerhouse of the West Bank, based in Jenin, which is also supposed to run on gas.

Golden deal for Dor Alon

As for the other side of the story, the history of Dor Alon, the Israeli fuel supplier, is equally baffling.

Dor Alon’s history is also linked to the Oslo Accords. A small company founded by an association of kibbutz in 1989, acquired in 1993 by a young businessman on the rise, David Wiessman, it obtained a fuel distribution monopoly for the PA in 1994.

"Dor Alon’s representatives went to Oslo and negotiated directly with Arafat and Mohamed Rashid," said the former representative of Dor Alon in Gaza, Mamoun Al Khozondar.

Mohamed Rashid, a former financial advisor to Yasser Arafat who had fled to London, was sentenced in absentia in Ramallah in June 2012 for corruption and misuse of public funds.

It seems that it was Rashid’s relationship with the fuel transportation company Shefer Levy (whose senior partner is Koko Ovadia, an Israeli businessman with close ties with the Israeli and Palestinian security services, convicted in 1998 for fraud tax on fuel and owner of Koko’s club in Rishon Lezion) that opened up the market for Dor Alon – or for all of the West Bank and Gaza for that matter.

A market that has constituted up to 39 percent of Dor Alon’s annual sales (in 2005, source: Dor Alon’s public annual reports), figures so high that each time the company presented its results it repeats: "We are dependent on the sales to the PA. If sales to the PA would stop, it could have a significant adverse effect on the results of Dor Alon Israel."

It is a captive market, according to Who profits, an NGO based in Tel Aviv which denounces the abuses of the occupation and the economic benefits that some Israeli companies enjoy because of it.

In 2006, things changed and a competing company, Paz, took over the market in the West Bank.

Dor Alon kept the Gaza market. Sales to the PA plummeted to 14 percent of previous figures in 2007. That year, the European Union purchased €75,559,237 worth of fuel from Dor Alon.

According to the official version, Dor Alon had kept the Gaza market because it owned the pipeline that allowed the delivery of fuel through the Nahal Oz checkpoint.

But this is no more than a moderately convincing explanation in light of the fact that in 2010 the Nahal Oz terminal was closed down by Israel, and that Dor Alon instead used the Kerem Shalom terminal, where the transfers are made directly from truck to truck.

Meanwhile, Dor Alon invested in the gas sector, expanded its interests in retail and restaurants (Pizza Hut, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Segafredo coffee shops in Israel), and opened supermarkets in colonies through its subsidiary Blue Square (acquired in 2003).

On the other side of the Atlantic, David Wiessman created Alon US in Dallas (in 2000), Texas. It is the largest Israeli oil company in the United States, which has bought the American brand name and distribution network of TotalFina and owns a lot of refineries.

Even though the few million European euros do not weigh very heavily in the books of a multinational like Dor Alon, it cannot be ignored that the deal with the PA was a masterstroke, and that the continued funding by the European Union brought in significant profits for Dor Alon.

A 'gift' to the Palestinian Authority

When the European Union decided to buy fuel from the Palestinian Authority in 2006, nobody was thinking of an issue that was to become a hundred million euro thorn in the side for the deal: taxes on the fuel.

Since the Paris Protocol in 1994, there is a tax transfer agreement between Israel and the PA, called Clearance Revenues.

Because, even though the PA buys from an Israeli company, it is the PA itself that is entitled to the VAT and the taxes, and not the Israeli treasury.

But then the taxes rose to more than 50 percent.

More than half of the amount that the European Union was paying Dor Alon landed in the PA’s treasury.

Faced with this situation, in the spring of 2009, the then EU commissioner for external relations, Benita Ferrero Waldner, called on Israel to sell the fuel without taxes, as humanitarian purchases. Israel said the agreement is a commercial, not a humanitarian one.

The reason for the refusal was obvious.

Israel uses this tax transfer agreement as political leverage, by blocking payments (as was the case in 2011, when Fatah-Hamas made reconciliation efforts).

More embarrassingly, in the late 1990s a major scandal was brought to light by a reporter named Ronen Bergman, who revealed that the money from the Clearance Revenues had been transferred to a secret account that only Arafat, Mohammad Rashid and Avi Matan, the partner of Koko Ovadia, had access to.

According to one source, the account at the Leumi Bank in Tel Aviv still exists, at least as a technical account to disburse money coming from Israel.

It is unclear in whose name the account is registered.

When asked what these funds (totalling more than €125 million, according to our calculations) have been used for, Ghassan Khatib, a spokesperson for the Palestinian Authority, replied that there are no details about the payments of the Clearance Revenues and that it is therefore impossible to find out.

The money supposedly ended up in the "general budget."

The Israeli side told us that details about the Clearance Revenues are "confidential."

According to the EU's Docherty, it is clear that Europe was aware of this deficiency from the beginning.

"We were not comfortable with this programme in the long run. It is one of the reasons why we stopped. In a sense we can indeed say it was a gift," he noted.

Post-Europe

In 2009, the European Commission’s payments officially came to an end.

The PA was tired of seeing its manna go to Gaza requested the termination. The mechanism stayed open for donors to use, until 2010, as did Germany (€20 million).

People in Ramallah were happy about the news.

"The money that was intended for the power plant now goes to the most vulnerable, the poorest of the poorest,” according to Ghassan Khatib. “Because when you pay for electricity, you pay more for the rich than for the poor, since the rich use more electricity.”

Hamas' energy minister, Omar Kittaneh, goes even further: "If you pay to burn fuel, you might as well just burn euros."

After five years of technical support and more than €250 million euros of expenditure, the commission left the region in the hands of struggles between Fatah and Hamas, and it left Gazans with an acute energy crisis.

In 2010, Hamas started tests to make the plant work with fuel transported through tunnels.

For one year, Egypt supplied the fuel. But then President Hosni Mubarak fell.

Egypt’s petrol is subsidised, and the new government is not inclined to subsidise the Gaza market.

In 2012, the Gaza plant was in constant stop-and-go mode.

Today, part of the fuel is supplied by Qatar, part is still smuggled through tunnels, while umpteen negotiations between Israelis and Palestinians have been started and stopped to exploit the natural gas fields off Gaza that could mean a lower cost (and environmental impact) for the power plant.

GIGABYTE OC Lab had its first visitors, world records broken!

You’ve heard about the grand opening of GIGABYTE’s new OC Lab but there was one key ingredient missing, extreme overclockers and thousands of litres of LN2. I’m pleased to say I’ve been present at GIGABYTE HQ in the past week to tick that box and give you a snippet of days of great fun, and to top it off, some excellent records achieved.

TeamAU (youngpro, sniperOz & dinos22) were among the overclockers to try the lab. Mad222 & KK from Hong Kong as well as a man machine from OcUK that goes by the name “8pack” gave the lab a go. Resident overclocker hicookie was on hand as well.

One does not simply enter a lab without LN2 hitting through the roof!

Can’t have a lab looking too clean without any high end gear laying about so we got to work pretty fast with the GIGABYTE X79-UD7 and 4WAY GTX Titans and also Z77X-UP7.

Stock GTX Titans received some mods in form of an unofficially named “G-Power” board by HWBOT last week which is essentially CPU power delivery system you see on GIGABYTE’s UP series motherboards with 60Amp MOSFETs and chokes. GTX Titan was definitely giving it a workout with a single card drawing up to 260Amps or in laymen’s terms it probably needed the same power as that DeLorean in Back To The Future to time travel hahah! Crazy stuff.

Youngpro and hicookie soldering liquorice looking cables to the power board below to hopefully provide stable enough power delivery and it sure did with two cards tested both clocking to 1800MHz and beyond.

SIGNIFICANT RESULTS:

CPUz 3770K frequency FIRST PLACE on Z77X-UP7 & 3770K @7186.54MHz

3DMARK Vantage FIRST PLACE 1xGPU, X79-UD7 & GTX Titan @66204points

3DMARK03 FIRST PLACE 1xGPU, Z77X-UP7 & GTX Titan @229511points

3DMARK11 SECOND PLACE 1xGPU, X79-UD7 & GTX Titan @21266points

 

Dinos22 kicked things off on Sunday with a new 3770K frequency world record with help of youngpro and his straw technique with a new 7186.54MHz. This score was achieved on all 4 cores with low volts with liquid nitrogen (-196C) only! It topped not one but two liquid helium (-269C) scores that were on top of the charts in the past! GIGABYTE Z77X-UP7 was the board of choice for this chart topping score of course!

SniperOz, 8pack and youngpro got to work on the X79-UD7 platform with some single card GTX Titan scores snatching single card world record in 3DMARK Vantage and second place in 3DMARK11.

8pack from OcUK and hicookie dropped the final score from the session with a 3DMARK03 world record on single GPU using GIGABYTE Z77X-UP7 and modded GTX Titan

Guys hanging out with Neo (from The Overclocker magazine) celebrating his birthday and legendary klngpln. From left to right (kingpin, youngpro, 8pack, Neo, Mad222, SniperOz, dinos22)

The OC lab looks fantastic and will no doubt help improve GIGABYTE’s products a great deal with regular visits from world renowned overclockers giving their input on things to improve with current and future gen products. Videos coming up soon of some of the overclocking from past week, stay tuned…

Child from New Orleans sentenced to serve in adult prison in Israel

A 14-year old boy from New Orleans, Louisiana was sentenced on Wednesday to a two-week term in an Israeli prison, after having been abducted on April 5th by Israeli forces while sleeping in his family’s home in the West Bank.

New American Civil War coming in

Could a second civil war be coming to the United States in only a few years? A retired US Army colonel has co-authored a piece of fiction that paints the possibility of what he predicts could arise as soon as 2016.

Retired US Army Col Kevin Benson currently instructs soldiers at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas’ University of Foreign Military and Cultural Studies but has spent enough time with the Armed Forces to know his way around a battlefield. In a new essay he’s written alongside the University of Kansas’ Dr. Jennifer Weber, Benson implies that the United States could soon be the scene of a bloody uprising that might make way for a new form of government to emerge. 

In a fictional essay published by the two last month in Small Wars Journal magazine, the team of experts bring forth an argument that ongoing economic unrest and political division within the US population could cause a civil war to erupt right here in the United States in only a few years’ time. The essay, “Full Spectrum Operations in the Homeland: A ‘Vision’ of the Future,” is in no way represented as a piece of pure truth, but its writers suggest that a civil war could happen much sooner than Americans may think of certain conditions occurring in the country today persist into the next few years.

Benson and Weber paint a picture of what the not-so-distant future could hold if things aren’t changed for the better in a few years, and infer that current conditions could trigger a uprising in their piece, which presents a realistic take on what could be done in event of an “insurrection” launched by the Tea Party and its allies:

“The Great Recession of the early twenty-first century lasts far longer than anyone anticipated. After a change in control of the White House and Congress in 2012, the governing party cuts off all funding that had been dedicated to boosting the economy or toward relief. The United States economy has flatlined, much like Japan’s in the 1990s, for the better part of a decade. By 2016, the economy shows signs of reawakening, but the middle and lower-middle classes have yet to experience much in the way of job growth or pay raises. Unemployment continues to hover perilously close to double digits, small businesses cannot meet bankers’ terms to borrow money, and taxes on the middle class remain relatively high. A high-profile and vocal minority has directed the public’s fear and frustration at nonwhites and immigrants. After almost ten years of race-baiting and immigrant-bashing by right-wing demagogues, nearly one in five Americans reports being vehemently opposed to immigration, legal or illegal, and even U.S.-born nonwhites have become occasional targets for mobs of angry whites”.

Those conditions, the authors presuppose, set the stage for a conservative uprising that receives “a groundswell of support from other tea party groups, militias, racist organizations such as the Ku Klux Klan, anti-immigrant associations such as the Minutemen, and other right-wing groups.”

“In May 2016 an extremist militia motivated by the goals of the “tea party” movement takes over the government of Darlington, South Carolina, occupying City Hall, disbanding the city council, and placing the mayor under house arrest,” the story continues. “Activists remove the chief of police and either disarm local police and county sheriff departments or discourage them from interfering. In truth, this is hardly necessary. Many law enforcement officials already are sympathetic to the tea party’s agenda, know many of the people involved, and have made clear they will not challenge the takeover. The militia members are organized and have a relatively well thought-out plan of action.”

Although the essay makes no attempts at encouraging an uprising, it does disclose that the US Army does have very real plans for putting any domestic insurgency on ice if it is attempted on American soil: drafted back in 2010, the US Army Training and Doctrine Command for 2016-2028 lists operating procedures for a military offensive on US soil in the event of a mass civil uprising. 

Even still, though, that isn’t to say that the essay isn’t without its critics. DC’s Washington Times has called the piece “a choppy patchwork of doctrinal jargon and liberal nightmare” that, according to the paper’s editorial staff, “isn’t a literary device but an operational lay-down intended to present the rationale and mechanisms for Americans to fight Americans.”

The GIGABYTE OC Lab opens its doors: Photo update

Most deserving winner takes home a GIGABYTE Z77X-UP7

A few weeks ago we asked our Facebook friends and followers to tell us why they thought they were the most deserving of a brand new, top-of-the-line GIGABYTE Z77X-UD7 motherboard. More than 800 of you left your comment, explaining why you deserve to win. But one comment from Darren Wong drew the most ‘Likes’. Here’s what Darren had to say:

“Because i never owned such powerful motherboard and im dying to get one! The past few weeks i've changed my PSU, GPU, monitor and casing left the other components which will be upgraded slowly(Due to lack of budget) to a high-end gaming and editing PC. And there i saw this great opportunity, which would save me from paying with my arms and legs!! I have to honest that i really din't used a gigabyte mobo before but i believe this board will be the BEAST and i'd really really like to have it in my case to try on(Not to mention the crazy overclocking on this board) and replace my current 6 years old cheapy Asus board”

Sounds like our Z77X-UP7 motherboard will be put to good use. Congrats to you Darren.

Check out all the comment submissions here.

GIGABYTE OC Lab Open for Business

We’re super excited at the moment, as our new overclocking lab is about to have its first public visitors walk through these doors. It’s been a long road, but I have to say, it is great to work for a company that really champions supporting the overclocking community. Hopefully many of you guys will get the chance to visit HiCookie in his new digs here in Taipei as he continues to seriously punish any hardware that is put in front of him. With that said, CHEERS Cookie to your new OC Lab!

 

Start your Ignition!

This week we are giving out some hints about our new OC series http://www.gigabyte.com/MicroSite/327/z87x-oc.html. Any guesses as to what this button does? Also, there are a few hints as to model name and notice the plural “S” on motherboards.

Next up, we’ll be having our grand opening of our new OC lab here in Taipei tomorrow. Pictures and details soon to follow.

Looking for a good memory clocking bios on Z77X-UP5TH?

Hi guys,

For all of you die hard RAM overclockers out there I wanted to give you heads up about some RAM overclocking I’ve come across on OCAU forum in Australia done by a member “Bullants” using a GIGABYTE Z77X-UP5TH and F12e beta bios. He says he’s testing some G.Skill PSC IC based memory to get an idea on frequency first before trying full out liquid nitrogen cooled memory with 32M SuperPi.

1370MHz (2740) 7-12-7-30-1T 8M SuperPi single channel is not a bad start on air cooling I reckon, not bad at all! Says he’s close to getting 32M to pass also.

Nicely done Bullants, looking forward to seeing some ultra efficient SuperPi runs from you!

You can download beta bioses from Tweaktown support forum that stasio is looking after over here.

GIGABYTE 8 Series Uncovered

We’ve been busy little bees here at GIGABYTE for the past several months working on some new things you all might find interesting. We aren’t quite ready to lift the lid on everything just yet, but we’ll be giving some sneak peeks periodically here on our blog and Facebook, so stay tuned in the coming weeks for some hints at what we’ve got cooking.

To start things off, here is a glimpse at a board we haven’t shown yet. Any guesses as to what board? If you look closely, can you spot some of the new features shown in the pictures? Hint…there are at least 4 visible.

rsannino from Italy breaks GTX Titan 3DMARK05 world record, #2 global

rsannino from Italy switched to Gigabyte Z77X-UP7 for some extreme overclocking today and scored an impressive category world record with GeForce GTX Titan and second global 3DMARK05 score.

Congrats Roberto!

The submission didn’t have any frosty shots but I did notice another score with a sweet looking benching setup there! It’s always cool to see how these guys have their bench rooms running.
