When Israel left 192 00:13:34.240 --> 00:13:38.200 and the Palestinian authority came in, the Christian majority shrank 193 00:13:38.240 --> 00:13:41.320 from eighty percent to hunder twenty percent because there was 194 00:13:41.360 --> 00:13:45.360 no more Israel to protect them. Though Prime Minister Benjamin 195 00:13:45.399 --> 00:13:48.840 Netanyahu did not mention the bombing of the Catholic Church 196 00:13:49.039 --> 00:13:51.720 in Gaza that led to the killing of three persons 197 00:13:51.759 --> 00:13:55.360 and injuring to several people, including the parish priest, it 198 00:13:55.440 --> 00:13:59.120 could be recalled that the Israel Defense Forces idf action 199 00:13:59.240 --> 00:14:03.519 against the Christian holy place in Gaza sparked global condemnations, 200 00:14:03.879 --> 00:14:07.039 with the head of the Catholic Church, Popelio the fourteenth, 201 00:14:07.080 --> 00:14:10.960 in a statement on Sunday, July twentieth, twenty twenty five, 202 00:14:11.200 --> 00:14:14.879 while speaking after his Angelus prayer, read out the names 203 00:14:14.879 --> 00:14:18.080 of those killed in the incident and said, I appeal 204 00:14:18.159 --> 00:14:22.279 to the international community to observe humanitarian law and respect 205 00:14:22.279 --> 00:14:25.759 the obligation to protect civilians, as well as the prohibition 206 00:14:25.840 --> 00:14:29.639 of collective punishment of indiscriminate use of force and force 207 00:14:29.720 --> 00:14:33.960 displacement of the population. During a church event on Sunday, 208 00:14:34.320 --> 00:14:38.759 Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, while speaking at the Daystars Together 209 00:14:38.840 --> 00:14:42.759 as One event in Jerusalem with Pastor Paula White, leader 210 00:14:42.799 --> 00:14:45.960 of the White House Faith Office, said Iran is now 211 00:14:46.000 --> 00:14:49.480 being projected as the friend of the Americans. Word to 212 00:14:49.600 --> 00:14:53.559 word of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu speech as transcribed and 213 00:14:53.600 --> 00:14:56.639 made available by the Office of the Israel Prime Minister 214 00:14:56.759 --> 00:15:01.679 on Sunday reads below. Thank you j thank you Daista, 215 00:15:02.120 --> 00:15:05.399 thank you Paula, Thank you ambassadors and the many friends 216 00:15:05.399 --> 00:15:08.720 of Israel. In the Christian world. This is the city 217 00:15:08.799 --> 00:15:12.120 in the land where it all began, the Judaeo Christian 218 00:15:12.159 --> 00:15:16.000 tradition that promoted the belief in monotheism, a single God, 219 00:15:16.399 --> 00:15:19.440 that developed the idea of the sanctity of life, the 220 00:15:19.480 --> 00:15:23.679 sanctity of individual life, the idea of freedom. In an 221 00:15:23.720 --> 00:15:26.799 ancient world that was swamped with massive slavery to build 222 00:15:26.840 --> 00:15:30.120 these ancient empires, the Jewish people came out with the 223 00:15:30.159 --> 00:15:34.399 idea that slavery should be limited and ultimately removed. This 224 00:15:34.639 --> 00:15:38.320 was revolutionary, the beginning of the idea of freedom, began 225 00:15:38.440 --> 00:15:42.039 in this land, and that idea spread throughout the centuries 226 00:15:42.039 --> 00:15:46.120 and especially in modern times, and changed the world. It 227 00:15:46.200 --> 00:15:49.679 gives hope to the world. It gives meaning to our lives. 228 00:15:50.200 --> 00:15:53.559 It gives a bond between the world's greatest democracy, the 229 00:15:53.720 --> 00:15:57.399 United States of America, and the world's vibrant democracy here 230 00:15:57.440 --> 00:16:01.240 in Israel. And that's a partnership that is bonded in faith, 231 00:16:01.559 --> 00:16:05.320 in history, in tradition. I had the great privilege of 232 00:16:05.360 --> 00:16:07.919 being invited to speak at the Joint Session of the 233 00:16:07.960 --> 00:16:11.480 American Congress, and I look on the wall and I 234 00:16:11.559 --> 00:16:15.759 see a quote from Moses. That's our common tradition, our 235 00:16:15.840 --> 00:16:19.480 common well spring. We're immersed in the Bible. We live 236 00:16:19.519 --> 00:16:22.519 the Bible. We have a future because we have a past, 237 00:16:23.000 --> 00:16:26.440 and that past is shared by millions, hundreds of millions 238 00:16:26.440 --> 00:16:29.440 around the world. And I want to thank you on 239 00:16:29.559 --> 00:16:32.320 behalf of the people of Israel and the Jewish people 240 00:16:32.399 --> 00:16:35.879 for that enduring friendship which is the mainstay of our 241 00:16:35.919 --> 00:16:39.440 present and future ability to live in a free, prosperous 242 00:16:39.440 --> 00:16:43.320 and peaceful world. But that bond is being challenged to day. 243 00:16:43.840 --> 00:16:47.279 It is being challenged to day by a fanatic fundamentalism, 244 00:16:47.360 --> 00:16:51.600 an Islamist fundamentalism that seeks to subjugate all Muslims that 245 00:16:51.679 --> 00:16:55.120 they view as infidels, eradicate the American and obviously the 246 00:16:55.200 --> 00:16:58.879 Israeli presence in the Middle East. They call America the 247 00:16:58.919 --> 00:17:03.399 great Satan. Israel is the small Satan, perhaps, but it's 248 00:17:03.440 --> 00:17:06.559 a small state that standing in their way, and we 249 00:17:06.599 --> 00:17:09.599 fight them. We fight them together, as we recently have 250 00:17:10.119 --> 00:17:14.000 with President Trump's leadership and our partnership. And yet we 251 00:17:14.039 --> 00:17:17.000 see the effort to break down our bond in America 252 00:17:17.079 --> 00:17:20.759 and other parts of the world, that partnership that promotes 253 00:17:20.839 --> 00:17:25.200 Judeo Christian values, that protects in Israel Christians as nowhere 254 00:17:25.200 --> 00:17:27.880 else in the Middle East, that truth is being reversed, 255 00:17:28.160 --> 00:17:31.640 put on its head by a campaign of lies. Israel 256 00:17:31.720 --> 00:17:34.839 is now portrayed as the enemy of Christians, and the 257 00:17:34.960 --> 00:17:37.759 enemies of Christians are portrayed as the friends of the 258 00:17:37.880 --> 00:17:42.640 United States. Iran a friend of the United States, an 259 00:17:42.640 --> 00:17:47.240 innocent victim the Muslim brotherhood who chanted death to America 260 00:17:47.319 --> 00:17:52.759 alongside Iran friends of America for mass these monsters, these 261 00:17:52.839 --> 00:17:56.680 monsters who burned babies, raped our women, beheaded our men, 262 00:17:57.000 --> 00:18:01.400 and chanted death to America. Friends of America Israel has 263 00:18:01.440 --> 00:18:05.599 a thriving Christian community, the only thriving Christian community in 264 00:18:05.640 --> 00:18:08.920 the broad broad radius of the Middle East, where Christians 265 00:18:08.960 --> 00:18:13.440 are not tolerated, they're cherished. You can light Christmas trees 266 00:18:13.480 --> 00:18:17.720 in Nazareth, but in Bethlehem, the birthplace of Jesus. When 267 00:18:17.799 --> 00:18:21.400 Israel left and the Palestinian authority came in, the Christian 268 00:18:21.480 --> 00:18:25.160 majority shrank from eighty percent to under twenty percent because 269 00:18:25.200 --> 00:18:28.640 there was no more Israel to protect them. We cherish 270 00:18:28.720 --> 00:18:33.279 our Christian friends. We protect the Christian holy sites, not 271 00:18:33.359 --> 00:18:36.599 only the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, but in the Galilee, 272 00:18:36.839 --> 00:18:39.880 not only in Nazareth, but in the Galilee in Capernam, 273 00:18:40.160 --> 00:18:44.119 where Jesus preached for three years. We uphold and cherish 274 00:18:44.240 --> 00:18:48.200 those sites. So Israel, the guardian of Christianity in the 275 00:18:48.200 --> 00:18:52.920 Middle East, is presented on American television by purchased influences. 276 00:18:53.200 --> 00:18:57.880 Its presented as the enemy of Christianity. What folly, what lies, 277 00:18:58.400 --> 00:19:01.359 what a travesty of truth. So one of the things 278 00:19:01.400 --> 00:19:04.400 we have fought now in the seventh front war, we 279 00:19:04.519 --> 00:19:07.079 have an eighth front, and that is the front and 280 00:19:07.160 --> 00:19:10.359 the battle for truth. And I can think of no 281 00:19:10.480 --> 00:19:13.720 one who can carry this battle alongside with us. No 282 00:19:13.839 --> 00:19:16.720 one who can do it better than you on this channel, 283 00:19:16.960 --> 00:19:20.880 the New Paula and our many Christian friends. We must 284 00:19:20.880 --> 00:19:23.759 fight for our common values. We must stand up for 285 00:19:23.799 --> 00:19:27.119 the truth. And by standing up for the truth, you 286 00:19:27.240 --> 00:19:30.079 stand up with Israel, and you stand with the Jewish 287 00:19:30.079 --> 00:19:34.000 people against this abomination of falsehoods. We can win this 288 00:19:34.119 --> 00:19:37.519 war exactly as we win the Seventh Front war. And 289 00:19:37.680 --> 00:19:40.720 I thank you for your support. I want to address 290 00:19:40.759 --> 00:19:44.400 also the ambassadors who are here. Your countries have strong 291 00:19:44.480 --> 00:19:48.160 Christian communities and a strong bond with us too, and 292 00:19:48.279 --> 00:19:50.720 I want to thank you for your support and the many, 293 00:19:50.759 --> 00:19:53.640 many millions around the world who have voiced support for 294 00:19:53.759 --> 00:19:57.960 Israel during our great battles here. We haven't finished, but 295 00:19:58.079 --> 00:20:01.920 we're winning and we'll continue to. But the main thing 296 00:20:02.000 --> 00:20:04.519 that I want to stress is the importance of winning 297 00:20:04.559 --> 00:20:07.559 the battle for truth, and that is a battle that 298 00:20:07.599 --> 00:20:11.400 we fought. Even as we speak now, Israel is presented 299 00:20:11.480 --> 00:20:14.680 as though we are applying a campaign of starvation in Gaza. 300 00:20:15.400 --> 00:20:18.440 What a bold faced lie. There is no policy of 301 00:20:18.480 --> 00:20:22.000 starvation in Gaza, and there is no starvation in Gaza. 302 00:20:22.720 --> 00:20:26.279 We enable humanitarian aid throughout the duration of the war 303 00:20:26.319 --> 00:20:30.720 to enter Gaza. Otherwise there would be no Gazans. And 304 00:20:30.839 --> 00:20:34.279 what has interdicted the supply of humanitarian aid is one 305 00:20:34.440 --> 00:20:39.039 force her mass again the reverse of the truth. Her 306 00:20:39.079 --> 00:20:43.200 mass robs steals this humanitarian aid and then accuses Israel 307 00:20:43.279 --> 00:20:47.000 of not supplying it. Well, we have enabled the amount 308 00:20:47.079 --> 00:20:50.720 required by international law to come in. There are hundreds 309 00:20:50.759 --> 00:20:54.160 and hundreds of trucks loaded with tons. So far, we've 310 00:20:54.200 --> 00:20:57.400 supplied one point nine million tons of food. Since the 311 00:20:57.440 --> 00:21:00.960 beginning of the war, almost two million tons, and now 312 00:21:01.000 --> 00:21:03.160 we have hundreds of trucks that are waiting on the 313 00:21:03.160 --> 00:21:08.440 Gazan side of the Kerem Shalom crossing and its international organizations, 314 00:21:08.839 --> 00:21:12.440 some of them very well intended, and it's the UN too. 315 00:21:12.920 --> 00:21:16.839 Food that they purchased and we say, go ahead, deliver it, 316 00:21:17.559 --> 00:21:21.039 and they say we can't because combat is going on, 317 00:21:21.960 --> 00:21:26.240 and we say, yes, where we're fighting, we'll continue to fight. 318 00:21:26.559 --> 00:21:29.720 But there are safe corridors. You can bring the food 319 00:21:29.759 --> 00:21:33.079 to anywhere you want. That is not a problem. So 320 00:21:33.200 --> 00:21:36.799 we have just announced that formerly here are safe corridors, 321 00:21:37.559 --> 00:21:41.599 and the UN has no excuses left, no excuses left. 322 00:21:41.920 --> 00:21:45.839 Stop lying, stop finding excuses, Do what you have to 323 00:21:45.920 --> 00:21:49.599 do and stop accusing Israel deliberately of this egregious falsehood. 324 00:21:50.279 --> 00:21:53.920 There is no starvation in Gaza, no policy of starvation 325 00:21:54.039 --> 00:21:56.279 in Gaza. And I assure you that we have a 326 00:21:56.319 --> 00:22:00.200 commitment to achieve our war goals. We will continue to 327 00:22:00.279 --> 00:22:03.039 fight till we achieve the release of our hostages and 328 00:22:03.079 --> 00:22:07.799 the destruction of Harms's military and governing capabilities. They shall 329 00:22:07.839 --> 00:22:10.640 be there no more. We shall not have any more 330 00:22:10.680 --> 00:22:13.440 of these massacres. We shall not have any more of 331 00:22:13.480 --> 00:22:17.920 these monstrosities. We stand for human freedom and human life, 332 00:22:18.240 --> 00:22:20.839 and that is not commensurate with Hermas or with Iran 333 00:22:20.960 --> 00:22:25.000 or other Iranian proxies. We have fought this battle together. 334 00:22:25.440 --> 00:22:28.599 We shall win it together. And I want to assure 335 00:22:28.640 --> 00:22:31.039 you that we have great faith in your faith and 336 00:22:31.200 --> 00:22:35.039 in our faith. We have a common bond. It is strong. 337 00:22:35.359 --> 00:22:38.720 It is something that represents the vast majority of Americans, 338 00:22:38.720 --> 00:22:42.039 and I would say just about all Israelis and by 339 00:22:42.079 --> 00:22:45.000 the way, Jews and non Jews alike, because we know 340 00:22:45.079 --> 00:22:48.880 that our standing together assures our common future. So I 341 00:22:48.960 --> 00:22:51.200 want to thank you on behalf of the state of 342 00:22:51.279 --> 00:22:54.279 Israel for everything that you're doing. And as the saying 343 00:22:54.319 --> 00:22:58.079 goes for everything that you will do. Thank you all, 344 00:22:58.400 --> 00:22:59.400 Thank you very much. 345 00:23:04.519 --> 00:23:05.640 Lady Quindi. 346 00:23:08.720 --> 00:23:12.240 Royal Thai Army and the Cambodia National Ministry of Defense 347 00:23:12.319 --> 00:23:16.039 have both denied firing the ten projectiles that destroyed civilian 348 00:23:16.079 --> 00:23:19.720 houses and properties at Emerald Triangle, a city in Now 349 00:23:19.799 --> 00:23:23.920 on Thursday, just as both government establishments confirmed early in 350 00:23:23.960 --> 00:23:27.799 the morning on Sunday that fighting continued through Saturday night 351 00:23:27.880 --> 00:23:31.400 to Sunday morning night. Despite President Donald Trump of the 352 00:23:31.519 --> 00:23:35.519 United States US statement on Saturday that he has spoken 353 00:23:35.640 --> 00:23:38.960 on phone with both the Prime Minister of Cambodia and 354 00:23:39.039 --> 00:23:43.000 the acting Prime Minister of Thailand, asking the two parties 355 00:23:43.039 --> 00:23:46.200 to agree on immediate cease fire, and failure to do so, 356 00:23:46.599 --> 00:23:50.160 according to Trump, US will not make any business deal 357 00:23:50.279 --> 00:23:54.160 with both countries.
