Amazing Maps @amazingmap - The “Blue Banana” is a nickname for the densely populated urban corridor stretching from northern England through Belgium, the Netherlands, western Germany and Switzerland into northern Italy.
It includes some of Europe’s largest cities and economic hubs, including London, Amsterdam, Brussels, Frankfurt, Zurich and Milan. Although the corridor covers only a relatively small part of Europe’s land area, it contains around 110 million people and generates a huge share of the continent’s economic activity.
The concept became influential because it showed how unevenly Europe’s wealth and population are distributed. Instead of being spread evenly across the continent, much of Europe’s industry, finance, infrastructure and trade became concentrated along this corridor over centuries.
The pattern reflects geography as much as history. Major rivers like the Rhine connected inland industrial regions to North Sea ports, while dense rail and highway networks later reinforced the same economic spine.
French geographer Roger Brunet identified the corridor in 1989 as Europe’s economic “backbone”. The nickname “Blue Banana” became popular shortly afterward because of the region’s curved shape on the map.

Ambassador Mike Huckabee @USAmbIsrael - Happy to attend this morning’s Tel Aviv Conference at @TelAvivUni, where several leaders and I shared our views on how we can leverage the ironclad U.S.-Israel relationship to confront shared challenges.

Ambassador Mike Waltz @USAmbUN - It’s no surprise that Iran – out in the open – is threatening its neighbors and admitting they will continue to mine international waters and attack commercial vessels from all over the world in the hopes of causing economic devastation.
All because we are choosing diplomacy in the UN Security Council.
This tweet from a regime official proves why this Resolution is needed and why Iran will never be allowed to have a nuclear weapon.

Ambassador Mike Waltz @USAmbUN - The United Nations needs to resolve the conflicts leading to mass migration, not further destabilize countries and undermine their sovereignty.

Last week, the United States refused to participate in the UN’s review of the Global Compact on Migration.
The United States objects to the Global Compact on Migration and UN efforts to facilitate replacement migration to the United States and our Western allies.

Ambassador Mike Waltz @USAmbUN - Any award to Francesca Albanese only shames those who bestow it.
She has rightly been condemned by the U.S. and numerous European countries for her vile antisemitism, illegitimate lawfare, and attempts to undermine the peace efforts in Gaza supported by many Muslim countries.

Public responsibility also entails the moral obligation not to look the other way.
It is an honor to award the Order of Civil Merit to a voice that upholds the conscience of the world: @FranceskAlbs, United Nations Special Rapporteur in the Occupied Palestinian Territory.
