⭕️ Trump-linked Jewish-American businessman quietly entrenched in Abu Dhabi’s ruling circles

Marty Edelman, an 83-year-old Jewish-American real estate lawyer and longtime associate of Donald Trump, has become a discreet yet powerful fixture within Abu Dhabi’s inner political circles. Public records also list Edelman as Israeli, and he is reported to have played a key role in laying the groundwork for the Abraham Accords. His involvement in shaping the emirate’s international dealings and AI ventures came into sharper focus during Trump’s recent visit—reportedly arranged with Edelman’s quiet backing.

Though not a member of the Al Nahyan ruling family, Edelman’s access and influence are unmatched for an outsider. Dubbed “Abu Dhabi’s man in Manhattan,” he is known for maneuvering between western power brokers and Gulf royals, cementing relationships that have increasingly aligned Emirati strategic interests with US and Israeli agendas.

"Starting Sunday, aid will be distributed in Gaza under the US plan through private American security companies.

An information mechanism will be established for Gaza residents regarding the distribution method, and four distribution centers will be set up, three of which will be in Rafah and one in the central Gaza Strip, south of the Netzarim axis.

Distribution will be conducted according to the 'one package per family' mechanism, whereby a representative from each family will be able to attend the distribution center and receive a food box for their family for a full week.

In addition, establishing centers in locations south of the Netzarim axis and in Rafah will help accelerate the evacuation of residents southward and serve the IDF's goal of completely emptying the northern Gaza Strip of its civilian population."
