Spanish Economist Daniel Lacalle, MEMRI Board of Advisors Member: Hamas Is 100% Responsible for What Is Happening in Gaza; It Uses Civilians as Human Shields, Using Schools as Ammunition Depots and Hi
On May 24, 2005, Spanish economist Daniel Lacalle, a member of MEMRI's Board of Advisors, said that Hamas was 100% responsible for what was happening in Gaza. 'Hamas is a terrorist organization, which has a dictatorship in Gaza, which executes homosexuals, represses women, and uses women and children as human shields,' and was 'using schools as ammunition depots and as hiding places for terrorists,' he said, speaking on the Spanish Cuatro TV channel's Horizonte program. Lacalle said that the humanitarian aid was being funneled by Hamas to repress the civilian population and finance terrorism. He rejected the use of the word 'genocide,' which he said was a 'falsehood,' pointing to the IDF's advance warning to civilians to evacuate places about to be targeted and saying that the presence of women and children in military locations was due to Hamas using them as human shields. He said that the word 'blockade' was another falsehood. 'How come no humanitarian aid enters via the Egyptian border, and nor do they permit refugees to go into (Egypt)?' Lacalle asked rhetorically, saying that 'Egypt knows that Hamas hoards the humanitarian aid in order to finance terrorism.'

Taxbit to boost global presence with appointment of six executives
Tax and accounting compliance platform Taxbit has appointed six new executives in the UK, Europe, and Latin America. The move aligns with the company's global expansion strategy. The appointed executives will work in Austria, Brazil, Italy, Norway, Spain, and the UK, each bringing regional expertise to Taxbit. Georg Brameshuber, now an Austrian executive for Taxbit, has previously contributed as a Board of Advisors member for Blockchain for Europe and the Digital Asset Association Austria. Antonio Lanotte, appointed as an Italian Executive, has more than two decades of experience as a tax advisor and CFO. Magnus Jones and Torstein Thinn have been appointed as Nordic Executives. Jones, a co-founder of Cointegrity and ambassador for Norway in the GBBC, has spent more than 15 years at EY specialising in tax and law. Thinn, with more than 25 years in finance, co-founded Cointegrity and has led significant initiatives in cryptocurrency taxation. Dion Seymour, the British executive, comes from Andersen with more than 18 years of tax experience. Nicole Dyskant, the Brazilian and Spanish executive, has been advising Taxbit LATAM since June 2024 and brings more than 25 years of practical experience. Headquartered in Draper, Utah, Taxbit is designed to streamline compliance and reporting for digital assets. It has so far raised over $235m from investors such as Ribbit, IVP, Paradigm, and PayPal Ventures. These appointments follow the hiring of Dr Max Bernt as regulatory affairs global head and managing director of Europe in April last year and Faustine Fleuret as French executive in Residence in March this year. Taxbit Global Market Expansion vice-president Michelle O'Connor said: 'In-market expertise is vital to our mission at Taxbit – driving innovation and regulatory clarity worldwide. 'In both Europe and Latin America, policymakers are making significant strides in delivering advanced regulatory frameworks for digital assets with a view to ensuring all businesses meet best practices for tax and accounting standards. 'Bringing on board these global industry leaders is vital to maintaining a harmonious dialogue with government, ensuring our customers receive best-in-class service and counsel, and achieving our growth goals in this rapidly evolving industry.' In November 2024, Taxbit introduced a tax reporting platform. The platform, created by certified public accountants (CPAs) and tax attorneys, caters to entities with complex tax reporting needs, particularly for digital products involving high-volume, high-frequency and multi-asset transactions.
