[Peace Commission Account Shows Zero Income, Separate "Slush Fund"] US President Trump launched the Peace Commission on January 22nd, promising to promote the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip. However, according to a Financial Times report on the 27th, citing multiple sources, the Peace Commission's account at the World Bank has been empty for over four months, and a separate "slush fund" has been established. Trump previously stated that Peace Commission members planned to contribute $7 billion, with the US contributing $10 billion. But one source said that the Peace Commission's World Bank account has so far "zero dollars deposited." Meanwhile, the Peace Commission has an account at JPMorgan Chase. A Peace Commission official confirmed that there are "multiple channels" for accepting donations, including the World Bank account, but "currently, donors are choosing to use" channels other than the World Bank. The World Bank is required to report account balances to donors and Peace Commission members, but the account at JPMorgan Chase is not subject to independent transparency oversight. The Peace Commission official stated that the financial situation would be reported to the Peace Commission's founding executive committee at an "appropriate time." The executive committee members are mostly officials from the Trump administration, including Secretary of State Rubio. (Xinhua)

[Former CIA Director Petraeus: Unmanned Systems Will Bring the “Most Terrifying” Danger and the Greatest Growth Opportunity] (1) Former CIA Director Petraeus stated that unmanned systems will pose the greatest danger and also bring structural growth opportunities in the next decade; conflicts in Iran, Ukraine, and other countries have proven that the methods of warfare are rapidly evolving. (2) The proliferation of drones in the Middle East will drive the region to invest heavily in both offensive and defensive capabilities. Current defense measures are far from sufficient; for example, Iran’s cheap “Witness” drones (US$20,000-50,000) often force the US to use more expensive missiles to intercept them. Even a small number of drones have disrupted Qatar’s liquefied natural gas production; in the next year or so, the war will enter the “autonomous systems” confrontation phase, and drone swarms will be almost impossible to defend against. (3) Ukraine has performed well in the production and countermeasures of drones, but currently, single-drone interception is insufficient to deal with swarms. Autonomy means no longer being limited by the number of remote pilots, which will become an “extremely terrifying” development direction. At the same time, the rise of unmanned systems represents huge investment opportunities, and the next moment of change is the deployment of “autonomous systems of autonomous systems” combined with space-based communications (such as Starlink). Petraeus stated that all of this will soon appear on the battlefield, making the investment extremely significant.

Three explosions were also heard near Bandar Abbas late on the 25th.

[EU Satellite Spectrum Allocation Leans Towards Domestic Companies, Limiting US Share] (1) Europe announced a plan on Wednesday to allocate most of its mobile satellite spectrum to European companies while reducing the share of US operators, in order to reduce reliance on tech giants and promote the development of domestic companies. (2) Musk's Starlink and Amazon's low-Earth orbit satellite business are major players in the market, and analysts believe the plan could put these US competitors at a disadvantage. The European Commission stated that one-third of the spectrum will be used for national purposes such as security and military, and will be integrated by an EU operator into the IRIS2 system (the European version of "Starlink"), which consists of 290 satellites. (3) The remaining two-thirds of the spectrum will be allocated equally between EU and non-EU operators for commercial use, which is a compromise (previously, some commissioners wanted to completely exclude US companies). As a transition, the 2GHz band licenses for US Viasat and EchoStar will be extended for another two years after they expire in May 2027.
