The David Hunter Perspective - 2023-03-29

Read on for today's agenda below prepared by David (thank you very much). - Retired US Diplomat to 5 different nations  David Hunter shares his knowledge, passion, interest, and experience.

1)Is Israel's 3 Month Old Far-Right Government About to Collapse?: The far right wing coalition government of Benjamin Netenyayu appears near collapse, after Israel's PM fired his Defense Minister Yoav Gallant over the weekend, who was opposing planned constitutional changes including limiting powers of the Supreme Court. Netenyahu is faced with nation-wide protest of hundreds of thousands, including members of the armed forces, to halt these anti-democratic 'reforms'. What is happening?

2)Hotel Rwanda Hero Gets Freed From Prison: Mr. Paul Rusesabagina the real life hero who saved Rwanda citizens from massacre by hiding them in the hotel he managed, was later charged in absensia with treason and sentenced to 25 years hard labor. In 2020, he was kidnapped in Qatar airport and renditioned back to Rwanda to serve prison. This week after long efforts by our US government, he was granted amnesty and released. Why did they do it now?

3)Is Another Big Bank Crisis Brewing?: Two weeks ago Credit Swiss was in trouble, when the giant Union Bank of Switzerland (UBS) came to the rescue and took over the bank before it could collapse. But this week there are reports that one of the biggest German banks, Deutsche Bank is in trouble. Credit Default Swaps (CDSs) to cover risks of Deutsche Bank's default have skyrocketed in price recently, and it's stock value is plummeting. Does this signal another big bank crisis?
