Sazan Island sits at the mouth of the Strait of Otranto, one of the most strategic maritime chokepoints connecting the Adriatic to the Mediterranean. For centuries, empires and military powers fought to control or fortify it. Now, as Israel expands its regional footprint and faces growing geopolitical pressure, critics in Albania are questioning why a project tied to Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump is being positioned on one of the most strategically sensitive islands in the Balkans.
For many of the protesters, the symbolism is impossible to ignore: a protected island with deep strategic history being transformed into an ultra-exclusive enclave tied to figures closely aligned with Israel and U.S. power networks.

Jared Kushner has publicly stated that he and Ivanka first came across Sazan Island during a 2021 Mediterranean yacht trip on a boat owned by financier Nathaniel Rothschild. They stopped for a swim, explored the island [a military island], and were introduced to opportunities there (including a meeting with Albanian officials or contacts onboard).
Here’s Ivanka Trump with the first level of cover story for their purchase of Sazan Island in Albania, just across from the heel of Italy. It’s a result of ‘a lot of reflection on how I want to live’, says Ivanka.
And the second level of cover story?
‘The island hosts 3,600 Soviet era tunnels and hardened bunkers, built to withstand a nuclear attack. Bunkers for End-Times Billionaires.’
‘This is their plan for Albania – luxury resort for their rich buddies.’ ‘
`What’s really going on?
Any luxury resort will provide cover of a Zionist nuclear missile and SIGINT base in Europe.
In recent speeches, Netanyahu has started referring to Israel not only as a “regional superpower”, but “in some respects, a global superpower”.
This is not a joke. When they tell you what they are up to: Believe them. #PaxJudaica #DismantleZionism

The Flamingo Revolution – Day 10 – Demand PM Edi Rama’s Resignation
Michael T. Lester: Jared and Ivanka Kushner want to buy Sazan Island in Albania because it is beautiful and they want to make it a resort. How nice!
But Sazan Island is not a vacation spot. It’s a well-documented strategic military chokepoint with a long military history.
In 1958, Nikita Khrushchev stood at the nearby Soviet submarine base and said, “From there I could control the Mediterranean to Gibraltar.” Sazan island controls the Strait of Otranto, and the Strait of Otranto controls access to the entire Adriatic.
Every empire that wanted to control the Adriatic, wanted Sazan. Romans. Ottomans. Italians. Germans. Soviets.
What Ivanka describes as “An unbelievable, beautiful 1,400-hectare private island in the middle of the Mediterranean,” is approximately 3,600 nuclear bunkers and kilometers of tunnels and hardened underground facilities, including a submarine pen the Soviets built specifically to project power into the Mediterranean, and is still an Albanian military zone.
The deal was negotiated in secret. Albanian citizens and their own parliament didn’t know about it until the press reported it. The Albanian government approved it immediately after Trump won reelection. Kushner’s newly formed investment company is using $4.6 billion from Saudi Arabia and Gulf sovereign wealth funds to fund the purchase. A Qatari company, Power International Holding, is a co-owner of the project and is currently under investigation by Albanian anti-corruption prosecutors.
Now that the deal is public, the Albanians are pissed. They’re in the streets marching by the thousands in Tirana, Albania’s capital with banners reading “Albania is not for sale.” Private security forces have attacked protesters. The Albanian government has suspended police officers, and revoked security company licenses.
Yep, just a couple private civilians looking to open a resort. No need to look further…
Now that you know the whole story, what do you think?
Y’all need to check this out, the Albania situation is getting more intense by the day. Apparently, Saudis entered the chat!!
