11 stalled projects in Dead Sea worth JD58 million closed
Ajlouni explained that the group conducted a comprehensive review of these projects and contracts, and dealt with them within legal frameworks, by offering facilities, granting time periods to rectify the situation, or terminating contracts by mutual consent without incurring any financial losses.
Director General of Development Zones, Mohammad Al-Wakid, noted that the number of projects dealt with reached 11, with an estimated value of approximately JD58 million. These projects ranged from lease-to-own contracts to sale-to-development contracts, including two projects on which work has resumed.
These stalled projects were resolved through various means, including settlement, amicable termination, annulment of agreements, or contract termination, all while fully adhering to the preservation of the state's rights and in accordance with legal frameworks, which required significant efforts in monitoring and coordination, Al-Wakid explained.
He also pointed out that there are five major tourism projects currently under implementation, some of which have been inaugurated, while others are nearing completion, as part of a clear implementation plan and in cooperation with relevant authorities.

Most expensive handbag in history sells for $10 million
Ammon News - A black leather Birkin bag just sold for €8.6 million ($10 million), with fees, becoming the most expensive handbag to ever sell at auction. The hammer fell at a winning bid of €7 million ($8.2 million). The first ever Birkin to have been created by Hermès, the bag was designed for the British actor and singer Jane Birkin. The Francophone style icon used it nearly every day from 1985 to 1994, before it became the ultimate symbol of luxury. On Thursday, the rarefied bag was sold by auction house Sotheby's in an online sale of notable luxury fashion, including designs by Alexander McQueen and Christian Dior. The auction house declined to provide an estimate of the original Birkin to CNN ahead of the sale, but advanced bidding had already smashed records at €1 million. During a live stream of the sale, gasps could be heard as the bidding pushed higher and higher. The 10-minute bidding war between nine collectors ultimately ended in victory for a private collector from Japan, according to a Sotheby's press release. CNN

Meta's Zuckerberg pledges hundreds of billions for AI data centers
Ammon News - Mark Zuckerberg said on Monday that Meta Platforms would spend hundreds of billions of dollars to build several massive AI data centers for superintelligence, intensifying his pursuit of a technology he has chased with a talent war for top engineers. The social media giant is among the large tech companies that have struck high-profile deals and doled out multi-million-dollar pay packages in recent months to fast-track work on machines that could outthink humans on many tasks. Its first multi-gigawatt data center, dubbed Prometheus, is expected to come online in 2026, while another, called Hyperion, will be able to scale up to 5 gigawatts over the coming years, Zuckerberg said in a post on his Threads social media platform. "We're building multiple more titan clusters as well. Just one of these covers a significant part of the footprint of Manhattan," the billionaire CEO said. He also pointed to a report from industry publication SemiAnalysis that Meta was on track to be the first AI lab to bring a gigawatt-plus supercluster online. Zuckerberg touted the strength in the company's core advertising business to justify the massive spending amid investor concerns on whether the expenditure would pay off. "We have the capital from our business to do this," he said.

Gold supported by trade tensions ahead of US inflation data
Ammon News - Gold prices rose on Tuesday with global trade tensions supporting demand for safe-haven assets, and investors awaiting U.S. inflation data due later in the day that could give clues on the Federal Reserve's interest rate path. Spot gold was up 0.5% at $3,360.35 per ounce, as of 0436 GMT. U.S. gold futures gained 0.3% at $3,369.50. "Gold has shown in the past that it is an asset of choice when tariff tensions are ratcheted up, and the precious metal's move towards $3,350 is evidence of this pattern playing out again," KCM Trade Chief Market Analyst Tim Waterer said. U.S. President Donald Trump on Saturday threatened to impose a 30% tariff on imports from Mexico and the European Union starting on August 1 if they failed to reach a trade deal. Meanwhile, the U.S. consumer price data for June is due at 1230 GMT on Tuesday. Economists polled by Reuters expect headline inflation to increase to 2.7% on an annual basis, up from 2.4% in the prior month. Core inflation is expected to rise to 3.0%, from 2.8%. Elsewhere, spot silver was steady at $38.15 per ounce, after hitting its highest level since September 2011 on Monday. Platinum rose 0.8% to $1,374 and palladium edged 0.2% higher to $1,196.10.
