Avi Shaked, billionaire businessman and owner of one of the biggest online casino sites on the net, is already tired of the Middle East conflict. In a recent interview with Reuters, the Israeli online casino tycoon said that he has offered the Palestinian prime minister one billion dollars if he, and his Israeli counterpart, would sit down together and reach a peace agreement. According to Shaked, many international financiers are ready to give out the money the moment a deal will be signed. In addition, an initial sum of 100 millions dollars would be given to the Palestinians if Ismail Haniye, leader of the Hamas, would sit down and talk with Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert.
