1
00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:03.759
<v Speaker 1>Barely ten days after Israeli soldiers bombed the Holy Family

2
00:00:03.839 --> 00:00:08.199
<v Speaker 1>Catholic Church in Gaza, Benjamin Netanyahu, the State of Israel

3
00:00:08.279 --> 00:00:11.679
<v Speaker 1>Prime Minister, has said that Israel is now being portrayed

4
00:00:11.720 --> 00:00:15.199
<v Speaker 1>as the enemy of Christians, stating that Israel has a

5
00:00:15.240 --> 00:00:19.280
<v Speaker 1>thriving Christian community, the only thriving Christian community in the

6
00:00:19.280 --> 00:00:23.199
<v Speaker 1>broad radius of the Middle East. Where Christians are not tolerated,

7
00:00:23.559 --> 00:00:27.640
<v Speaker 1>they're cherished, adding you can like Christmas trees in Nazareth,

8
00:00:28.079 --> 00:00:31.839
<v Speaker 1>but in Bethlehem, the birthplace of Jesus. When Israel left

9
00:00:31.879 --> 00:00:35.799
<v Speaker 1>and the Palestinian authority came in, the Christian majority shrank

10
00:00:35.880 --> 00:00:38.960
<v Speaker 1>from eighty percent to under twenty percent because there was

11
00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:43.000
<v Speaker 1>no more Israel to protect them. Though Prime Minister Benjamin

12
00:00:43.039 --> 00:00:46.520
<v Speaker 1>Netanyahu did not mention the bombing of the Catholic Church

13
00:00:46.679 --> 00:00:49.359
<v Speaker 1>in Gaza that led to the killing of three persons

14
00:00:49.399 --> 00:00:53.039
<v Speaker 1>and injuring to several people, including the parish priest, it

15
00:00:53.079 --> 00:00:56.759
<v Speaker 1>could be recalled that the Israel Defense Forces idf action

16
00:00:56.880 --> 00:01:01.159
<v Speaker 1>against the Christian Holy Place in Gaza sparked blows condemnations

17
00:01:01.520 --> 00:01:04.640
<v Speaker 1>with the head of the Catholic Church, Popelio the fourteenth,

18
00:01:04.719 --> 00:01:08.599
<v Speaker 1>in a statement on Sunday, July twentieth, twenty twenty five,

19
00:01:08.840 --> 00:01:12.519
<v Speaker 1>while speaking after his Angelus prayer, read out the names

20
00:01:12.519 --> 00:01:15.760
<v Speaker 1>of those killed in the incident and said, I appeal

21
00:01:15.799 --> 00:01:19.920
<v Speaker 1>to the international community to observe humanitarian law and respect

22
00:01:19.959 --> 00:01:23.400
<v Speaker 1>the obligation to protect civilians, as well as the prohibition

23
00:01:23.480 --> 00:01:27.280
<v Speaker 1>of collective punishment of indiscriminate use of force and force

24
00:01:27.359 --> 00:01:31.599
<v Speaker 1>displacement of the population. During a church event on Sunday,

25
00:01:31.959 --> 00:01:36.400
<v Speaker 1>Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, while speaking at the Daystars Together

26
00:01:36.480 --> 00:01:40.400
<v Speaker 1>as One event in Jerusalem with Pastor Paula White, leader

27
00:01:40.439 --> 00:01:43.599
<v Speaker 1>of the White House Faith Office, said Iran is now

28
00:01:43.640 --> 00:01:47.159
<v Speaker 1>being projected as the friend of the Americans. Word to

29
00:01:47.239 --> 00:01:51.200
<v Speaker 1>word of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's speech, as transcribed and

30
00:01:51.239 --> 00:01:54.280
<v Speaker 1>made available by the Office of the Israel Prime Minister

31
00:01:54.400 --> 00:01:59.319
<v Speaker 1>on Sunday, reads below. Thank you Joni, thank you Daystar,

32
00:01:59.719 --> 00:02:03.560
<v Speaker 1>Thanks Paula, Thank you ambassadors and the many friends of Israel.

33
00:02:03.640 --> 00:02:06.599
<v Speaker 1>In the Christian world. This is the city in the

34
00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:10.400
<v Speaker 1>land where it all began, the Judeo Christian tradition that

35
00:02:10.439 --> 00:02:14.800
<v Speaker 1>promoted the belief in monotheism a single God, that developed

36
00:02:14.800 --> 00:02:17.719
<v Speaker 1>the idea of the sanctity of life. The sanctity of

37
00:02:17.800 --> 00:02:22.080
<v Speaker 1>individual life, the idea of freedom. In an ancient world

38
00:02:22.159 --> 00:02:25.759
<v Speaker 1>that was swamped with massive slavery to build these ancient empires,

39
00:02:26.199 --> 00:02:28.919
<v Speaker 1>the Jewish people came out with the idea that slavery

40
00:02:28.960 --> 00:02:33.599
<v Speaker 1>should be limited and ultimately removed. This was revolutionary. The

41
00:02:33.599 --> 00:02:36.800
<v Speaker 1>beginning of the idea of freedom began in this land,

42
00:02:37.240 --> 00:02:40.520
<v Speaker 1>and that idea spread throughout the centuries and especially in

43
00:02:40.599 --> 00:02:44.560
<v Speaker 1>modern times, and changed the world. It gives hope to

44
00:02:44.599 --> 00:02:48.280
<v Speaker 1>the world. It gives meaning to our lives. It gives

45
00:02:48.280 --> 00:02:52.159
<v Speaker 1>a bond between the world's greatest democracy, the United States

46
00:02:52.159 --> 00:02:55.639
<v Speaker 1>of America, and the world's vibrant democracy here in Israel.

47
00:02:56.400 --> 00:02:59.840
<v Speaker 1>And that's a partnership that is bonded in faith, in history,

48
00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:03.800
<v Speaker 1>in tradition. I have the great privilege of being invited

49
00:03:03.840 --> 00:03:06.719
<v Speaker 1>to speak at the Joint Session of the American Congress,

50
00:03:07.479 --> 00:03:09.560
<v Speaker 1>and I look on the wall and I see a

51
00:03:09.639 --> 00:03:14.400
<v Speaker 1>quote from Moses. That's our common tradition, our common well spring.

52
00:03:14.840 --> 00:03:18.080
<v Speaker 1>We're immersed in the Bible, we live the Bible. We

53
00:03:18.159 --> 00:03:21.000
<v Speaker 1>have a future because we have a past, and that

54
00:03:21.159 --> 00:03:24.960
<v Speaker 1>past is shared by millions, hundreds of millions around the world.

55
00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:27.879
<v Speaker 1>And I want to thank you on behalf of the

56
00:03:27.919 --> 00:03:30.800
<v Speaker 1>people of Israel and the Jewish people for that enduring

57
00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:34.599
<v Speaker 1>friendship which is the mainstay of our present and future

58
00:03:34.639 --> 00:03:38.080
<v Speaker 1>ability to live in a free, prosperous and peaceful world.

59
00:03:38.800 --> 00:03:42.039
<v Speaker 1>But that bond is being challenged today. It is being

60
00:03:42.159 --> 00:03:46.759
<v Speaker 1>challenged today by a fanatic fundamentalism, an Islamist fundamentalism that

61
00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:50.439
<v Speaker 1>seeks to subjugate all Muslims that they view as infidels,

62
00:03:50.639 --> 00:03:54.000
<v Speaker 1>eradicate the American and obviously the Israeli presence in the

63
00:03:54.039 --> 00:03:58.479
<v Speaker 1>Middle East. They call America the great Satan, Israel is

64
00:03:58.520 --> 00:04:02.039
<v Speaker 1>the small Satan for but it's a small state that

65
00:04:02.280 --> 00:04:05.560
<v Speaker 1>standing in their way, and we fight them. We fight

66
00:04:05.639 --> 00:04:09.439
<v Speaker 1>them together, as we recently have with President Trump's leadership

67
00:04:09.479 --> 00:04:12.479
<v Speaker 1>and our partnership. And yet we see the effort to

68
00:04:12.479 --> 00:04:15.680
<v Speaker 1>break down our bond in America and other parts of

69
00:04:15.719 --> 00:04:20.560
<v Speaker 1>the world, that partnership that promotes Judeo Christian values, that

70
00:04:20.600 --> 00:04:23.959
<v Speaker 1>protects in Israel Christians as nowhere else in the Middle East,

71
00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:26.759
<v Speaker 1>that truth is being reversed, put on its head by

72
00:04:26.800 --> 00:04:30.519
<v Speaker 1>a campaign of lies. Israel is now portrayed as the

73
00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:34.439
<v Speaker 1>enemy of Christians, and the enemies of Christians are portrayed

74
00:04:34.480 --> 00:04:38.639
<v Speaker 1>as the friends of the United States. Iran a friend

75
00:04:38.680 --> 00:04:43.079
<v Speaker 1>of the United States, an innocent victim the Muslim brotherhood

76
00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:47.399
<v Speaker 1>who chanted death to America alongside Iran friends of America

77
00:04:48.120 --> 00:04:52.639
<v Speaker 1>for mass These monsters, these monsters who burned babies, raped

78
00:04:52.639 --> 00:04:56.120
<v Speaker 1>our women, beheaded our men, and chanted death to America,

79
00:04:56.560 --> 00:05:01.240
<v Speaker 1>Friends of America. Israel has a thriving Christian community, the

80
00:05:01.279 --> 00:05:04.800
<v Speaker 1>only thriving Christian community in the broad broad radius of

81
00:05:04.839 --> 00:05:08.839
<v Speaker 1>the Middle East, where Christians are not tolerated, They're cherished.

82
00:05:09.560 --> 00:05:13.120
<v Speaker 1>You can light Christmas trees in Nazareth, but in Bethlehem,

83
00:05:13.399 --> 00:05:17.160
<v Speaker 1>the birthplace of Jesus. When Israel left and the Palestinian

84
00:05:17.199 --> 00:05:20.879
<v Speaker 1>authority came in, the Christian majority shrank from eighty percent

85
00:05:20.920 --> 00:05:24.079
<v Speaker 1>to under twenty percent because there was no more Israel

86
00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:28.720
<v Speaker 1>to protect them. We cherish our Christian friends. We protect

87
00:05:28.800 --> 00:05:32.000
<v Speaker 1>the Christian holy sites, not only the Church of the

88
00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:35.639
<v Speaker 1>Holy Sepulcher, but in the Galilee, not only in Nazareth,

89
00:05:35.680 --> 00:05:39.000
<v Speaker 1>but in the Galilee in Capernam, where Jesus preached for

90
00:05:39.040 --> 00:05:43.879
<v Speaker 1>three years. We uphold and cherish those sites. So Israel,

91
00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:47.519
<v Speaker 1>the guardian of Christianity in the Middle East, is presented

92
00:05:47.560 --> 00:05:51.839
<v Speaker 1>on American television by purchased influences, its presented as the

93
00:05:51.959 --> 00:05:56.959
<v Speaker 1>enemy of Christianity. What folly, what lies? What a travesty

94
00:05:57.000 --> 00:05:59.680
<v Speaker 1>of truth. So one of the things we have fought

95
00:05:59.759 --> 00:06:03.079
<v Speaker 1>now in the Seventh Front War, we have an eighth front,

96
00:06:03.360 --> 00:06:06.160
<v Speaker 1>and that is the front and the battle for truth.

97
00:06:06.879 --> 00:06:09.160
<v Speaker 1>And I can think of no one who can carry

98
00:06:09.199 --> 00:06:12.240
<v Speaker 1>this battle alongside with us, no one who can do

99
00:06:12.360 --> 00:06:15.759
<v Speaker 1>it better than you on this channel, the New Paula

100
00:06:16.079 --> 00:06:19.079
<v Speaker 1>and our many Christian friends. We must fight for our

101
00:06:19.120 --> 00:06:22.720
<v Speaker 1>common values. We must stand up for the truth. And

102
00:06:22.839 --> 00:06:26.079
<v Speaker 1>by standing up for the truth, you stand up with Israel,

103
00:06:26.319 --> 00:06:29.240
<v Speaker 1>and you stand with the Jewish people against this abomination

104
00:06:29.360 --> 00:06:32.879
<v Speaker 1>of falsehoods. We can win this war exactly as we

105
00:06:32.920 --> 00:06:36.160
<v Speaker 1>win the Seventh Front War. And I thank you for

106
00:06:36.240 --> 00:06:39.800
<v Speaker 1>your support. I want to address also the ambassadors who

107
00:06:39.839 --> 00:06:43.519
<v Speaker 1>are here. Your countries have strong Christian communities and a

108
00:06:43.600 --> 00:06:46.800
<v Speaker 1>strong bond with us too, and I want to thank

109
00:06:46.879 --> 00:06:49.560
<v Speaker 1>you for your support and the many, many millions around

110
00:06:49.560 --> 00:06:52.399
<v Speaker 1>the world who have voiced support for Israel during our

111
00:06:52.399 --> 00:06:56.639
<v Speaker 1>great battles here. We haven't finished, but we're winning and

112
00:06:56.720 --> 00:06:59.959
<v Speaker 1>we'll continue to win. But the main thing that I'm

113
00:07:00.000 --> 00:07:02.639
<v Speaker 1>want to stress is the importance of winning the battle

114
00:07:02.720 --> 00:07:05.680
<v Speaker 1>for truth, and that is a battle that we fought.

115
00:07:05.759 --> 00:07:09.480
<v Speaker 1>Even as we speak now, Israel is presented as though

116
00:07:09.519 --> 00:07:13.120
<v Speaker 1>we are applying a campaign of starvation in Gaza. What

117
00:07:13.240 --> 00:07:16.680
<v Speaker 1>a bold faced lie. There is no policy of starvation

118
00:07:16.800 --> 00:07:20.480
<v Speaker 1>in Gaza, and there is no starvation in Gaza. We

119
00:07:20.600 --> 00:07:24.079
<v Speaker 1>enable humanitarian aid throughout the duration of the war to

120
00:07:24.240 --> 00:07:28.560
<v Speaker 1>enter Gaza. Otherwise there would be no Gazans. And what

121
00:07:28.720 --> 00:07:32.399
<v Speaker 1>has interdicted the supply of humanitarian aid is one force

122
00:07:32.759 --> 00:07:37.000
<v Speaker 1>her mass again the reverse of the truth. Her mass

123
00:07:37.079 --> 00:07:41.000
<v Speaker 1>robs steals this humanitarian aid and then accuses Israel of

124
00:07:41.079 --> 00:07:45.120
<v Speaker 1>not supplying it. Well, we have enabled the amount required

125
00:07:45.199 --> 00:07:48.480
<v Speaker 1>by international law to come in. There are hundreds and

126
00:07:48.560 --> 00:07:52.279
<v Speaker 1>hundreds of trucks loaded with tons. So far, we've supplied

127
00:07:52.319 --> 00:07:55.480
<v Speaker 1>one point nine million tons of food since the beginning

128
00:07:55.519 --> 00:07:58.720
<v Speaker 1>of the war, almost two million tons, and now we

129
00:07:58.800 --> 00:08:01.800
<v Speaker 1>have hundreds of trucks waiting on the Gazan side of

130
00:08:01.839 --> 00:08:06.800
<v Speaker 1>the Kerem Shalom crossing and its international organizations, some of

131
00:08:06.839 --> 00:08:10.879
<v Speaker 1>them very well intended, and it's the UN too food

132
00:08:10.879 --> 00:08:14.480
<v Speaker 1>that they purchased, and we say go ahead, deliver it

133
00:08:15.199 --> 00:08:18.680
<v Speaker 1>and they say we can't because combat is going on,

134
00:08:19.600 --> 00:08:23.879
<v Speaker 1>and we say yes, where we're fighting. We'll continue to fight,

135
00:08:24.199 --> 00:08:27.360
<v Speaker 1>but there are safe corridors. You can bring the food

136
00:08:27.399 --> 00:08:30.720
<v Speaker 1>to anywhere you want. That is not a problem. So

137
00:08:30.839 --> 00:08:34.440
<v Speaker 1>we have just announced that formerly here are safe corridors,

138
00:08:35.200 --> 00:08:39.240
<v Speaker 1>and the UN has no excuses left, no excuses left.

139
00:08:39.559 --> 00:08:43.679
<v Speaker 1>Stop lying, stop finding excuses, do what you have to do,

140
00:08:43.720 --> 00:08:48.120
<v Speaker 1>and stop accusing Israel deliberately of this egregious falsehood. There

141
00:08:48.159 --> 00:08:52.279
<v Speaker 1>is no starvation in Gaza, no policy of starvation in Gaza.

142
00:08:52.600 --> 00:08:54.559
<v Speaker 1>And I assure you that we have a commitment to

143
00:08:54.639 --> 00:08:58.440
<v Speaker 1>achieve our war goals. We will continue to fight till

144
00:08:58.519 --> 00:09:01.360
<v Speaker 1>we achieve the release of our hostages and the destruction

145
00:09:01.480 --> 00:09:05.559
<v Speaker 1>of her Mass's military and governing capabilities. They shall be

146
00:09:05.639 --> 00:09:08.399
<v Speaker 1>there no more. We shall not have any more of

147
00:09:08.440 --> 00:09:12.320
<v Speaker 1>these massacres. We shall not have any more of these monstrosities.

148
00:09:13.080 --> 00:09:16.200
<v Speaker 1>We stand for human freedom and human life, and that

149
00:09:16.279 --> 00:09:18.919
<v Speaker 1>is not commensurate with Hermas or with Iran or other

150
00:09:18.960 --> 00:09:23.480
<v Speaker 1>Iranian proxies. We have fought this battle together. We shall

151
00:09:23.519 --> 00:09:26.519
<v Speaker 1>win it together. And I want to assure you that

152
00:09:26.559 --> 00:09:29.559
<v Speaker 1>we have great faith in your faith and in our faith.

153
00:09:30.320 --> 00:09:33.279
<v Speaker 1>We have a common bond. It is strong, it is

154
00:09:33.320 --> 00:09:36.679
<v Speaker 1>something that represents the vast majority of Americans, and I

155
00:09:36.759 --> 00:09:40.120
<v Speaker 1>would say just about all Israelis and by the way,

156
00:09:40.480 --> 00:09:43.000
<v Speaker 1>Jews and non Jews alike, because we know that our

157
00:09:43.080 --> 00:09:46.960
<v Speaker 1>standing together assures our common future. So I want to

158
00:09:47.039 --> 00:09:49.519
<v Speaker 1>thank you on behalf of the State of Israel for

159
00:09:49.600 --> 00:09:52.679
<v Speaker 1>everything that you're doing, and as the saying goes, for

160
00:09:52.759 --> 00:09:56.440
<v Speaker 1>everything that you will do. Thank you all, Thank you

161
00:09:56.600 --> 00:10:08.240
<v Speaker 1>very much. Quindi Uni Royal Thai Army and the Cambodia

162
00:10:08.320 --> 00:10:11.639
<v Speaker 1>National Ministry of Defense have both denied firing the ten

163
00:10:11.720 --> 00:10:16.039
<v Speaker 1>projectiles that destroyed civilian houses and properties at Emerald Triangle,

164
00:10:16.519 --> 00:10:19.759
<v Speaker 1>a city in Now on Thursday, just as both government

165
00:10:19.840 --> 00:10:23.559
<v Speaker 1>establishments confirmed early in the morning on Sunday that fighting

166
00:10:23.639 --> 00:10:27.919
<v Speaker 1>continued through Saturday night to Sunday morning night. Despite President

167
00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:31.600
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump of the United States u S statement on

168
00:10:31.679 --> 00:10:34.559
<v Speaker 1>Saturday that he has spoken on phone with both the

169
00:10:34.600 --> 00:10:38.519
<v Speaker 1>Prime Minister of Cambodia and the acting Prime Minister of

170
00:10:38.559 --> 00:10:42.519
<v Speaker 1>Thailand asking the two parties to agree on immediate cease fire,

171
00:10:42.600 --> 00:10:46.279
<v Speaker 1>and failure to do so, according to Trump, US will

172
00:10:46.320 --> 00:10:49.960
<v Speaker 1>not make any business deal with both countries. In his words,

173
00:10:50.320 --> 00:10:54.600
<v Speaker 1>Trump said, we happen to be by coincidents currently dealing

174
00:10:54.600 --> 00:10:57.519
<v Speaker 1>on trade with both countries, but do not want to

175
00:10:57.519 --> 00:11:00.720
<v Speaker 1>make any deal with either country if they are fighting,

176
00:11:01.000 --> 00:11:03.879
<v Speaker 1>and I have told them so. The call with Thailand

177
00:11:03.960 --> 00:11:07.519
<v Speaker 1>is being made momentarily. The call with Cambodia has ended,

178
00:11:07.720 --> 00:11:10.919
<v Speaker 1>but expect a call back regarding war stoppage and cease

179
00:11:10.960 --> 00:11:14.480
<v Speaker 1>fire based on what Thailand has to say. I am

180
00:11:14.559 --> 00:11:18.360
<v Speaker 1>trying to simplify a complex situation. Many people are being

181
00:11:18.480 --> 00:11:21.399
<v Speaker 1>killed in this war, but it very much reminds me

182
00:11:21.440 --> 00:11:25.080
<v Speaker 1>of the conflict between Pakistan and India, which was brought

183
00:11:25.120 --> 00:11:28.919
<v Speaker 1>to a successful halt. The Lao government had on Friday

184
00:11:29.000 --> 00:11:32.440
<v Speaker 1>reported that ten bombs were found having been fired into

185
00:11:32.480 --> 00:11:36.360
<v Speaker 1>civilian areas and affecting local residents in the Emerald Triangle,

186
00:11:36.720 --> 00:11:40.320
<v Speaker 1>a town in Lao that borders both Lao, Thailand and Cambodia.

187
00:11:41.039 --> 00:11:44.440
<v Speaker 1>A statement from the Lao People's Armed Forces on Saturday

188
00:11:44.480 --> 00:11:48.919
<v Speaker 1>afternoon refuted earlier media reports claiming clashes between the Lao

189
00:11:48.960 --> 00:11:53.519
<v Speaker 1>People's Armed Forces and Cambodian armed personnel, describing the reports

190
00:11:53.519 --> 00:11:58.080
<v Speaker 1>as untrue, denying the shelling in Lao. The Royal Thailand Army,

191
00:11:58.159 --> 00:12:01.720
<v Speaker 1>in a statement on Saturday, said that the Royal Thai

192
00:12:01.840 --> 00:12:05.639
<v Speaker 1>Army clarifies case of artillery shells landing in laopid R

193
00:12:05.840 --> 00:12:10.440
<v Speaker 1>territory in Emerald Triangle Area confirms investigation found they were

194
00:12:10.480 --> 00:12:14.879
<v Speaker 1>not Thai forces ammunition. According to news reports, on the

195
00:12:14.919 --> 00:12:18.840
<v Speaker 1>twenty fourth of July twenty twenty five, at approximately nine

196
00:12:18.960 --> 00:12:22.759
<v Speaker 1>forty hours, ten artillery shells landed in the territory of

197
00:12:22.799 --> 00:12:28.000
<v Speaker 1>the Lao People's Democratic Republic LAOPDR in the Emerald Triangle area,

198
00:12:28.360 --> 00:12:32.519
<v Speaker 1>which is the border junction between Thailand, LAOS and Cambodia,

199
00:12:32.840 --> 00:12:36.159
<v Speaker 1>without clear confirmation as to which side the shells belonged to,

200
00:12:36.679 --> 00:12:40.080
<v Speaker 1>and preliminarily there were no reports of casualties or property

201
00:12:40.159 --> 00:12:45.480
<v Speaker 1>damage from the incident. Major General Wintai Suburi Army spokesperson

202
00:12:45.840 --> 00:12:50.960
<v Speaker 1>issued a clarification that following fact finding investigations and coordination

203
00:12:51.159 --> 00:12:55.080
<v Speaker 1>with security agencies of the Lao PDR, it is confirmed

204
00:12:55.080 --> 00:12:58.200
<v Speaker 1>that they were definitely not shells from the Thai military side,

205
00:12:58.399 --> 00:13:01.799
<v Speaker 1>and the Royal Thai Army has confidence in its capability

206
00:13:01.840 --> 00:13:07.240
<v Speaker 1>to control weapon usage effectively, appropriately, proportionately, and strictly within

207
00:13:07.360 --> 00:13:12.320
<v Speaker 1>international rules of engagement. However, in the recent period, it

208
00:13:12.399 --> 00:13:15.320
<v Speaker 1>has often been found that the Cambodian side has been

209
00:13:15.440 --> 00:13:19.639
<v Speaker 1>using long range fire support weapons to attack numerous civilian

210
00:13:19.759 --> 00:13:23.159
<v Speaker 1>targets throughout the past two days, which appears to be

211
00:13:23.200 --> 00:13:26.879
<v Speaker 1>intentional and deliberate use of such weapons against targets other

212
00:13:26.919 --> 00:13:31.039
<v Speaker 1>than military objectives, such as using weapons against historical sites,

213
00:13:31.320 --> 00:13:36.200
<v Speaker 1>aiming to significantly mislead the international community against the Thai side.

214
00:13:36.360 --> 00:13:39.240
<v Speaker 1>The Royal Thai Army confirms that the Thai side has

215
00:13:39.320 --> 00:13:43.799
<v Speaker 1>strict measures for controlling weapon usage, particularly in areas adjacent

216
00:13:43.840 --> 00:13:47.159
<v Speaker 1>to the border, to prevent impact on civilians or areas

217
00:13:47.240 --> 00:13:51.840
<v Speaker 1>unrelated to military operations. The Royal Thai Army will continue

218
00:13:51.840 --> 00:13:56.000
<v Speaker 1>to coordinate closely with the LAOPDR side to maintain positive

219
00:13:56.039 --> 00:13:59.759
<v Speaker 1>relations between the two countries. The Royal Thai Army Public

220
00:13:59.799 --> 00:14:03.639
<v Speaker 1>Rule Nations Center Army Spokesperson team stated this on the

221
00:14:03.679 --> 00:14:08.039
<v Speaker 1>twenty sixth of July twenty twenty five. In a swift reaction,

222
00:14:08.480 --> 00:14:12.480
<v Speaker 1>the Cambodia Ministry of National Defense, in a statement also

223
00:14:12.559 --> 00:14:16.320
<v Speaker 1>on Saturday, said the Ministry of National Defense of the

224
00:14:16.399 --> 00:14:20.279
<v Speaker 1>Kingdom of Cambodia categorically rejects and condemns in the strongest

225
00:14:20.399 --> 00:14:24.279
<v Speaker 1>terms the false and malicious accusation by Thailand that Cambodia

226
00:14:24.320 --> 00:14:30.039
<v Speaker 1>deliberately launched Projectile's inter Laosian territory. This baseless allegation reflects

227
00:14:30.039 --> 00:14:33.600
<v Speaker 1>a disturbing pattern of deceit by the Thai military, first

228
00:14:33.639 --> 00:14:38.200
<v Speaker 1>fabricating lies to justify its unprovoked aggression against Cambodia, and

229
00:14:38.320 --> 00:14:43.000
<v Speaker 1>now seeking to manipulate international opinion by undermining Cambodia's reputation.

230
00:14:43.919 --> 00:14:48.679
<v Speaker 1>Such irresponsible rhetoric is not only patently false, but dangerously inflammatory,

231
00:14:49.080 --> 00:14:52.840
<v Speaker 1>particularly as the Lao authorities have neither concluded their investigation

232
00:14:53.039 --> 00:14:57.919
<v Speaker 1>nor issued any such claim. Cambodia demands that Thailand immediately

233
00:14:58.000 --> 00:15:01.879
<v Speaker 1>sees its deliberate disinformation CA campaign, which merely serves to

234
00:15:01.919 --> 00:15:05.960
<v Speaker 1>deflect attention from its own flagrant violations of international law.

235
00:15:06.759 --> 00:15:10.279
<v Speaker 1>Unlike Thailand, Cambodia has not and will not violate the

236
00:15:10.360 --> 00:15:14.919
<v Speaker 1>sovereignty of any neighboring state, including the Lao People's Democratic Republic.

237
00:15:15.639 --> 00:15:19.919
<v Speaker 1>Cambodia reiterates its unwavering respect for the sovereignty and territorial

238
00:15:19.919 --> 00:15:23.480
<v Speaker 1>integrity of all nations, and affirms its readiness to extend

239
00:15:23.559 --> 00:15:27.240
<v Speaker 1>full cooperation to the Lao People's Army to investigate the

240
00:15:27.320 --> 00:15:33.519
<v Speaker 1>incident in a responsible, professional and transparent manner. Lieutenant General Meliskita,

241
00:15:34.000 --> 00:15:37.039
<v Speaker 1>under Secretary of State and spokesperson of the Ministry of

242
00:15:37.120 --> 00:15:40.879
<v Speaker 1>National Defense of the Kingdom of Cambodia stated this on Saturday,

243
00:15:40.960 --> 00:15:45.519
<v Speaker 1>July twenty six, twenty twenty five. On Sunday early morning,

244
00:15:45.840 --> 00:15:48.919
<v Speaker 1>the Royal Thailand Army issued a report and stated that

245
00:15:49.360 --> 00:15:53.320
<v Speaker 1>today the twenty seventh of July twenty twenty five, Major

246
00:15:53.440 --> 00:15:58.919
<v Speaker 1>General Wintaisubari Army spokesperson address the latest situation, stating that

247
00:15:58.960 --> 00:16:02.840
<v Speaker 1>Cambodia continue use its military activities by employing long range

248
00:16:02.919 --> 00:16:07.559
<v Speaker 1>weapons and firing into Thai territory. Continuous clashes have occurred

249
00:16:07.559 --> 00:16:11.200
<v Speaker 1>at multiple points along the front lines with numerous long

250
00:16:11.320 --> 00:16:15.480
<v Speaker 1>range support weapons landing outside their intended military target areas

251
00:16:15.519 --> 00:16:20.120
<v Speaker 1>in Suran Province. Thailand therefore finds it necessary to conduct

252
00:16:20.240 --> 00:16:23.799
<v Speaker 1>military operations in response to the continued firing of long

253
00:16:23.919 --> 00:16:27.279
<v Speaker 1>range support weapons such as rockets and artillery that persist

254
00:16:27.360 --> 00:16:32.759
<v Speaker 1>in targeting Thai territory to prevent civilian casualties or losses. Yesterday,

255
00:16:32.960 --> 00:16:36.679
<v Speaker 1>the twenty sixth of July twenty twenty five, at approximately

256
00:16:36.759 --> 00:16:41.639
<v Speaker 1>fifteen to thirty hours, Cambodian artillery shells targeted the Subdistrict

257
00:16:41.679 --> 00:16:47.159
<v Speaker 1>Health Promoting Hospital at Bansambeng Village three, Southong Chai Subdistrict,

258
00:16:47.399 --> 00:16:51.960
<v Speaker 1>Kantharallak District, c say Khat Province, causing severe damage to

259
00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:56.519
<v Speaker 1>the building structure. However, there were no fatalities or injuries,

260
00:16:56.840 --> 00:17:02.480
<v Speaker 1>as medical personnel had previously evacuated patients from the facility. Furthermore,

261
00:17:02.799 --> 00:17:07.559
<v Speaker 1>intelligence reports indicate potential deployment of high performance weapons systems

262
00:17:07.599 --> 00:17:12.039
<v Speaker 1>such as PHL zero three, Rule seventy and VM twenty

263
00:17:12.039 --> 00:17:16.200
<v Speaker 1>one that may provide additional support to Cambodian forces. This

264
00:17:16.400 --> 00:17:21.279
<v Speaker 1>may reflect Cambodia's stance, which Thailand cannot yet trust. According

265
00:17:21.319 --> 00:17:25.200
<v Speaker 1>to the latest situation, Cambodian forces have not ceased their

266
00:17:25.200 --> 00:17:29.440
<v Speaker 1>attacks using all forms of weaponry against Thai forces. The

267
00:17:29.519 --> 00:17:32.720
<v Speaker 1>Royal Thai Army will operate at full capacity to counter

268
00:17:32.799 --> 00:17:36.880
<v Speaker 1>this aggression and reaffirms its continued focus on military targets

269
00:17:36.880 --> 00:17:40.240
<v Speaker 1>that pose military threats and endanger the lives and property

270
00:17:40.279 --> 00:17:44.119
<v Speaker 1>of our fellow citizens only within the appropriate framework of

271
00:17:44.160 --> 00:17:48.240
<v Speaker 1>international rules of engagement to protect and maintain sovereignty to

272
00:17:48.279 --> 00:17:51.160
<v Speaker 1>the best of our ability. The Royal Thai Army Public

273
00:17:51.240 --> 00:17:55.200
<v Speaker 1>Relations Center Army Spokesperson Team stated this in a press

274
00:17:55.279 --> 00:17:58.599
<v Speaker 1>statement on the twenty seventh of July twenty twenty five.

275
00:17:59.400 --> 00:18:03.279
<v Speaker 1>A few minutes later, the Cambodia Ministry of National Defense

276
00:18:03.359 --> 00:18:06.920
<v Speaker 1>reacted and stated that the Ministry of National Defense of

277
00:18:07.000 --> 00:18:10.440
<v Speaker 1>the Kingdom of Cambodia categorically rejects and condemns in the

278
00:18:10.480 --> 00:18:15.640
<v Speaker 1>strongest terms the baseless and irresponsible accusation by Thailand that

279
00:18:15.680 --> 00:18:20.079
<v Speaker 1>Cambodia initiated hostilities. This false claim is nothing more than

280
00:18:20.119 --> 00:18:23.519
<v Speaker 1>a desperate attempt to shift attention away from Thailand's own

281
00:18:23.599 --> 00:18:28.160
<v Speaker 1>flagrant and repeated violations of Cambodia's sovereignty and international law.

282
00:18:28.920 --> 00:18:32.279
<v Speaker 1>The facts are indisputable. It was Thailand that launched the

283
00:18:32.319 --> 00:18:36.519
<v Speaker 1>first wave of brutal attacks against Cambodian territory. On the

284
00:18:36.559 --> 00:18:40.240
<v Speaker 1>twenty seventh of July twenty twenty five, at two o'clock,

285
00:18:40.559 --> 00:18:44.680
<v Speaker 1>Thai forces shelled Veal in Trelocation. By two thirty, they

286
00:18:44.720 --> 00:18:48.480
<v Speaker 1>expanded the bombardment to Tarthau pan On three hundred thirty

287
00:18:48.519 --> 00:18:52.640
<v Speaker 1>three and Panom coamouch And at four fifty additional shellings

288
00:18:52.680 --> 00:18:57.160
<v Speaker 1>struck Tamman Tom and Tarkrabi. At six o'clock, Thai ground

289
00:18:57.200 --> 00:19:01.599
<v Speaker 1>troops invaded Panom coamouch and sees and Veal entry location,

290
00:19:02.119 --> 00:19:05.599
<v Speaker 1>followed by a large scale incursion at six thirty involving

291
00:19:05.680 --> 00:19:10.839
<v Speaker 1>tax and ground troops into multiple areas including Veal Entry five, Makara,

292
00:19:11.079 --> 00:19:15.759
<v Speaker 1>Penom Comauch and An Sees. In a separate statement, the

293
00:19:15.799 --> 00:19:19.720
<v Speaker 1>spokesperson of the Cambodia Ministry of National Defense added that

294
00:19:20.279 --> 00:19:23.519
<v Speaker 1>as of now, violations from the Thai side continue and

295
00:19:23.599 --> 00:19:27.799
<v Speaker 1>have escalated beyond the initial incidents. Since five a m.

296
00:19:27.920 --> 00:19:32.079
<v Speaker 1>Yesterday in the operational zone of Military Region four, Thai

297
00:19:32.160 --> 00:19:36.200
<v Speaker 1>forces began launching continuous and intense attax toward Boss sb

298
00:19:36.359 --> 00:19:41.240
<v Speaker 1>O V. These escalations include the following incidents. At ten

299
00:19:41.359 --> 00:19:44.599
<v Speaker 1>forty a M Thai aircraft dropped two bombs on the

300
00:19:44.680 --> 00:19:48.599

<v Speaker 1>further incidents of this nature. Royal Thai Army Public Relations

450
00:29:58.960 --> 00:30:02.519
<v Speaker 1>Centre Army SIS Spokesperson team stated this on the twenty

451
00:30:02.599 --> 00:30:07.359
<v Speaker 1>third of July twenty twenty five. Lieutenant General Melee Sokita,

452
00:30:07.720 --> 00:30:11.960
<v Speaker 1>the Cambodia Ministry of National Defense spokesperson, while addressing the

453
00:30:12.000 --> 00:30:16.519
<v Speaker 1>press and the public on Saturday, said that one Thailand

454
00:30:16.599 --> 00:30:21.640
<v Speaker 1>keiks expanding its military including infantry forces, heavy weaponry and

455
00:30:21.759 --> 00:30:26.559
<v Speaker 1>fighter jets, Thai forces launched indiscriminate attacks that targeted no

456
00:30:26.680 --> 00:30:33.359
<v Speaker 1>specific objectives and destroyed civilian infrastructure, including schools, villages, markets,

457
00:30:33.599 --> 00:30:39.519
<v Speaker 1>health facilities, gas stations, temples and World Heritage sites. These

458
00:30:39.559 --> 00:30:44.440
<v Speaker 1>attacks have also harmed innocent civilians, children, women, and the

459
00:30:44.519 --> 00:30:48.960
<v Speaker 1>elderly who are currently at serious risk. This constitutes a

460
00:30:49.039 --> 00:30:54.000
<v Speaker 1>violation of international law and the Geneva Conventions. Two. Please

461
00:30:54.079 --> 00:30:57.920
<v Speaker 1>take note that Thai troops employing F sixteen fighter jets

462
00:30:58.200 --> 00:31:02.599
<v Speaker 1>reigned bombs on civilian settlements, killing and injuring several civilians.

463
00:31:03.359 --> 00:31:07.720
<v Speaker 1>In Odominchi Province, five Cambodian soldiers and eight civilians were

464
00:31:07.799 --> 00:31:12.200
<v Speaker 1>killed and twenty one Cambodian soldiers and fifty civilians were injured,

465
00:31:12.519 --> 00:31:18.240
<v Speaker 1>while around thirty five thousand people in four provinces Odaminchi, Pria, Vihir,

466
00:31:18.559 --> 00:31:22.400
<v Speaker 1>Pursit and Bante Minchi were forced to leave their homes

467
00:31:22.400 --> 00:31:26.319
<v Speaker 1>as a result of these attacks. Three. The Thai side

468
00:31:26.359 --> 00:31:30.400
<v Speaker 1>continues to escalate by aggressively deploying troops to attack multiple

469
00:31:30.440 --> 00:31:35.119
<v Speaker 1>Cambodian targets, showing no signs of de escalation. At the

470
00:31:35.160 --> 00:31:38.799
<v Speaker 1>same time, Thailand has declared martial law in Trat and

471
00:31:38.880 --> 00:31:42.680
<v Speaker 1>Chanterbury Provinces and has begun expanding its military forces and

472
00:31:42.839 --> 00:31:48.440
<v Speaker 1>armaments under the Operation chakrabongs Buvanath Plan Four, Thailand has

473
00:31:48.480 --> 00:31:53.359
<v Speaker 1>deliberately launched unprovoked attacks against Cambodia and is increasingly violating

474
00:31:53.440 --> 00:31:58.559
<v Speaker 1>Cambodian's sovereignty while continuing to make exaggerated and unfounded accusations

475
00:31:58.599 --> 00:32:05.039
<v Speaker 1>against Cambodia. This clearly reveals a premeditated plan to invade Cambodia. Five.

476
00:32:05.359 --> 00:32:08.680
<v Speaker 1>The Ministry of National Defense of Cambodia calls on the

477
00:32:08.720 --> 00:32:15.799
<v Speaker 1>international community, including the United Nations Security Council, Asian international partners,

478
00:32:16.119 --> 00:32:19.960
<v Speaker 1>and diplomatic missions, to strongly condemn the brazen and reckless

479
00:32:19.960 --> 00:32:24.960
<v Speaker 1>aggression against Cambodia. Six. We call on the international community

480
00:32:25.000 --> 00:32:28.480
<v Speaker 1>to take urgent measures to prevent further troop deployments aimed

481
00:32:28.480 --> 00:32:32.359
<v Speaker 1>at attacking Cambodia, to ensure that Thailand respects the full

482
00:32:32.480 --> 00:32:36.599
<v Speaker 1>territorial integrity of Cambodia, and to hold Thailand accountable for

483
00:32:36.640 --> 00:32:40.839
<v Speaker 1>its violations of the United Nations Charter, the Geneva Conventions,

484
00:32:41.079 --> 00:32:45.920
<v Speaker 1>and the ASI Entreaty of Amity and Cooperation. Seven. Cambodia

485
00:32:46.039 --> 00:32:50.200
<v Speaker 1>remains firmly committed to resolving the issue peacefully in accordance

486
00:32:50.240 --> 00:32:53.759
<v Speaker 1>with international law, while reserving our right to self defense

487
00:32:53.880 --> 00:32:57.160
<v Speaker 1>under Article fifty one of the United Nations Charter and

488
00:32:57.200 --> 00:33:01.200
<v Speaker 1>to defend our people, sovereignty and to territorial integrity to

489
00:33:01.240 --> 00:33:05.720
<v Speaker 1>the fullest extent against Thailand's aggression and violent acts. Eight.

490
00:33:06.079 --> 00:33:10.839
<v Speaker 1>Thailand's incursions have expanded to other provinces of Cambodia, including

491
00:33:10.920 --> 00:33:15.400
<v Speaker 1>five artillery attacks in Edma Da Commune, Vilveng District, Pursed

492
00:33:15.480 --> 00:33:19.880
<v Speaker 1>Province in the Fourth Zone. Thailand also launched attacks in

493
00:33:20.000 --> 00:33:24.640
<v Speaker 1>three locations Veal Intry, tathav and choon Tea. On the

494
00:33:24.680 --> 00:33:29.920
<v Speaker 1>morning of July twenty six nine, Cambodia once again condemns

495
00:33:29.960 --> 00:33:35.079
<v Speaker 1>the aggression and premeditated provocations by Thailand. Cambodia reaffirms our

496
00:33:35.119 --> 00:33:38.920
<v Speaker 1>commitment to maintaining peace and security, but nevertheless reserves the

497
00:33:39.000 --> 00:33:41.440
<v Speaker 1>right to defend our sovereignty as a victim of the

498
00:33:41.440 --> 00:33:46.400
<v Speaker 1>Thaisis violations. We assert our principle of targeting only military

499
00:33:46.440 --> 00:33:50.599
<v Speaker 1>objectives on the Thai side, ensuring that civilians remain unharmed.

500
00:33:51.400 --> 00:33:55.400
<v Speaker 1>Ten Thus far, the Cambodian Army has remained resolute and

501
00:33:55.519 --> 00:34:00.359
<v Speaker 1>unwavering in its defense of Cambodia's territorial integrity, standing firm

502
00:34:00.400 --> 00:34:04.200
<v Speaker 1>against the threats and coercion from Thailand. The Cambodian National

503
00:34:04.240 --> 00:34:08.599
<v Speaker 1>Defense stated The Cambodia Ministry of Information, also in a

504
00:34:08.639 --> 00:34:13.840
<v Speaker 1>statement on Saturday, stated that Thailand is using information manipulation

505
00:34:14.039 --> 00:34:17.760
<v Speaker 1>warfare strategies to fabricate pretexts for its armed aggression of

506
00:34:17.800 --> 00:34:22.599
<v Speaker 1>Cambodian territory, while falsely portraying itself as the victim. We

507
00:34:22.599 --> 00:34:26.039
<v Speaker 1>would like to inform our fellow Cambodian citizens that the

508
00:34:26.119 --> 00:34:29.360
<v Speaker 1>Thai media has colluded with the Thai government and military

509
00:34:29.360 --> 00:34:33.360
<v Speaker 1>to fabricate and disseminate fake news aimed at demonizing Cambodia

510
00:34:33.760 --> 00:34:36.360
<v Speaker 1>in order to create a pretext for their own armed

511
00:34:36.360 --> 00:34:42.000
<v Speaker 1>invasion and violation of Cambodia's territorial integrity. Both the Thai government,

512
00:34:42.360 --> 00:34:46.440
<v Speaker 1>its military, and media outlets have employed deceptive tactics to

513
00:34:46.480 --> 00:34:51.159
<v Speaker 1>provoke incidents according to their premeditated invasion plans. The Thai

514
00:34:51.239 --> 00:34:55.480
<v Speaker 1>military's armed incursion was carefully planned and prepared long in advance.

515
00:34:56.280 --> 00:35:00.159
<v Speaker 1>The blueprint of Thailand's military aggression is clear, beginning with

516
00:35:00.199 --> 00:35:04.840
<v Speaker 1>a preemptive attack on Cambodian forces, followed by shamelessly placing

517
00:35:04.880 --> 00:35:09.079
<v Speaker 1>all blame on Cambodia without any sense of remorse or accountability.

518
00:35:09.880 --> 00:35:14.639
<v Speaker 1>Cambodia tells the truth. Thailand lies to the world, Cambodia

519
00:35:14.719 --> 00:35:18.639
<v Speaker 1>has no interest in invading Thailand. Eur Own News reported

520
00:35:18.639 --> 00:35:21.880
<v Speaker 1>that as the conflict between the two countries enters its

521
00:35:21.920 --> 00:35:24.800
<v Speaker 1>third day, at least thirty people have been killed and

522
00:35:24.880 --> 00:35:30.199
<v Speaker 1>thousands forced to flee their homes. Cambodia's UN Ambassador Chi

523
00:35:30.280 --> 00:35:35.000
<v Speaker 1>Kio called for an immediate unconditional cease fire with Thailand

524
00:35:35.039 --> 00:35:38.159
<v Speaker 1>on Friday, after the dispute between the two countries entered

525
00:35:38.199 --> 00:35:42.519
<v Speaker 1>its third day. The UN Security Council held an emergency

526
00:35:42.599 --> 00:35:46.159
<v Speaker 1>meeting behind closed doors late Friday in New York, with

527
00:35:46.239 --> 00:35:49.840
<v Speaker 1>all fifteen members calling on the parties to deescalate, show

528
00:35:49.920 --> 00:35:53.880
<v Speaker 1>restraint and resolve the dispute peacefully. We also call for

529
00:35:53.920 --> 00:35:57.840
<v Speaker 1>the peaceful solution to the dispute, said chi Kio. He

530
00:35:58.000 --> 00:36:02.480
<v Speaker 1>responded to accusations that Cambodia attacked Thailand, asking how a

531
00:36:02.519 --> 00:36:05.400
<v Speaker 1>small country with no air force could attack a much

532
00:36:05.480 --> 00:36:09.280
<v Speaker 1>larger country with an army three times its size, stressing

533
00:36:09.559 --> 00:36:13.440
<v Speaker 1>we do not do that. Thailand's UN ambassador left the

534
00:36:13.480 --> 00:36:17.840
<v Speaker 1>meeting without stopping to talk to reporters, but Thailand's acting

535
00:36:17.920 --> 00:36:21.880
<v Speaker 1>Prime Minister Funtham Wechaiai said Friday that Cambodia may be

536
00:36:21.960 --> 00:36:24.719
<v Speaker 1>guilty of war crimes due to the deaths of civilians

537
00:36:24.800 --> 00:36:28.519
<v Speaker 1>and damage caused to a hospital. He said Thailand had

538
00:36:28.559 --> 00:36:31.920
<v Speaker 1>exercised the utmost restraint and patients in the face of

539
00:36:31.960 --> 00:36:37.440
<v Speaker 1>provocations and aggression from Cambodia. Meanwhile, the Thailand Ministry of

540
00:36:37.519 --> 00:36:41.079
<v Speaker 1>Foreign Affairs, in a statement on Saturday evenings, stated that

541
00:36:41.599 --> 00:36:45.000
<v Speaker 1>Ministry of Foreign Affairs wishes to inform that a few

542
00:36:45.039 --> 00:36:49.400
<v Speaker 1>moments ago, Acting Prime Minister fumthham Wechaiyai had a conversation

543
00:36:49.559 --> 00:36:54.159
<v Speaker 1>with President Trump, who requested the Thailand and Cambodia agreed

544
00:36:54.159 --> 00:36:58.280
<v Speaker 1>to a cease fire immediately. Acting Prime Minister thanked President

545
00:36:58.320 --> 00:37:01.320
<v Speaker 1>Trump for his concern and express as the Thailand agrees

546
00:37:01.360 --> 00:37:05.920
<v Speaker 1>in principle to have a ceasefire in place. However, Thailand

547
00:37:05.960 --> 00:37:09.599
<v Speaker 1>would like to see sincere intention from the Cambodian side.

548
00:37:10.159 --> 00:37:13.880
<v Speaker 1>Acting Prime Minister thus requested President Trump to convey to

549
00:37:13.920 --> 00:37:17.480
<v Speaker 1>the Cambodian side that Thailand wants to convene a bilateral

550
00:37:17.519 --> 00:37:20.559
<v Speaker 1>dialogue as soon as possible to bring forth measures and

551
00:37:20.599 --> 00:37:24.280
<v Speaker 1>procedures for the ceasefire and the eventual peaceful resolution of

552
00:37:24.320 --> 00:37:28.039
<v Speaker 1>the conflict. It would be recalled that on June twenty six,

553
00:37:28.159 --> 00:37:31.880
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty five, The Kingdom of Cambodia had stated in

554
00:37:31.920 --> 00:37:36.760
<v Speaker 1>its government website that Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Maney raised

555
00:37:36.800 --> 00:37:40.199
<v Speaker 1>concerns about the lack of clarity and inconsistency between the

556
00:37:40.280 --> 00:37:43.559
<v Speaker 1>Thai Prime Minister and the taime military regarding the closure

557
00:37:43.599 --> 00:37:48.519
<v Speaker 1>and reopening of border checkpoints with Cambodia. Sandek Thepalae noted

558
00:37:48.519 --> 00:37:51.760
<v Speaker 1>that at times the border was completely closed, only to

559
00:37:51.800 --> 00:37:56.880
<v Speaker 1>be reopened in certain areas. However, the reopened checkpoints permitted

560
00:37:56.920 --> 00:38:01.800
<v Speaker 1>only limited movement, barring general public crosses, while Thailand shifted

561
00:38:01.800 --> 00:38:05.679
<v Speaker 1>the blame to Cambodia for initiating the closure. The Premier

562
00:38:05.760 --> 00:38:10.119
<v Speaker 1>spoke on Thursday, June twenty sixth at the graduation ceremony

563
00:38:10.159 --> 00:38:14.000
<v Speaker 1>at the Police Academy of Cambodia in Kandal Province. The

564
00:38:14.039 --> 00:38:17.039
<v Speaker 1>Premier explained that on the twenty fourth of June twenty

565
00:38:17.119 --> 00:38:20.679
<v Speaker 1>twenty five, the Thai Prime Minister publicly announced a full

566
00:38:20.719 --> 00:38:25.199
<v Speaker 1>border closure with Cambodia, citing the United Nations reports alleging

567
00:38:25.239 --> 00:38:29.800
<v Speaker 1>that Cambodia was a hub for online criminal activity. Exceptions

568
00:38:29.800 --> 00:38:33.440
<v Speaker 1>were made only for students and critically ill patients. Thai

569
00:38:33.480 --> 00:38:37.239
<v Speaker 1>military forces began implementing the closure on that same day,

570
00:38:37.719 --> 00:38:42.039
<v Speaker 1>Yet later in the evening, the spokesperson for Thailand's Ministry

571
00:38:42.039 --> 00:38:45.159
<v Speaker 1>of Foreign Affairs came forward stating that Thailand had not

572
00:38:45.239 --> 00:38:49.199
<v Speaker 1>officially closed its borders. Then, on the morning of the

573
00:38:49.239 --> 00:38:53.159
<v Speaker 1>twenty fifth of June, Thai military personnel reopened some border

574
00:38:53.199 --> 00:38:56.639
<v Speaker 1>gates for the purpose of taking photos, though the restrictions

575
00:38:56.639 --> 00:39:00.679
<v Speaker 1>on cross border travel remained in effect. Cambodia does not

576
00:39:00.760 --> 00:39:05.039
<v Speaker 1>play such covered games. If we act, we take responsibility.

577
00:39:05.440 --> 00:39:09.760
<v Speaker 1>We already made our stance clear. If you Thailand close

578
00:39:09.800 --> 00:39:13.280
<v Speaker 1>the border, we will close it indefinitely until you officially

579
00:39:13.320 --> 00:39:17.639
<v Speaker 1>reopen it. If we continue to react to your inconsistent moves,

580
00:39:18.039 --> 00:39:21.519
<v Speaker 1>then we will never know when this will end. The premier, underscored.

581
00:39:22.320 --> 00:39:26.119
<v Speaker 1>Sandek thepad reaffirmed that he is currently awaiting individuals in

582
00:39:26.199 --> 00:39:29.239
<v Speaker 1>Thailand who will hold genuine power and adopt a clear

583
00:39:29.320 --> 00:39:33.280
<v Speaker 1>and consistent stance with whom Cambodia can reliably engage in

584
00:39:33.320 --> 00:39:36.599
<v Speaker 1>good faith in order to seek joint solutions that benefit

585
00:39:36.639 --> 00:39:40.840
<v Speaker 1>both nations and their peoples. A Malaysia based news media,

586
00:39:41.199 --> 00:39:45.920
<v Speaker 1>The Star, reported that Malaysia will continue engaging Cambodia and

587
00:39:45.960 --> 00:39:49.559
<v Speaker 1>Thailand to achieve a ceasefire in the ongoing border clashes,

588
00:39:49.960 --> 00:39:53.920
<v Speaker 1>says Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, the Prime Minister of Malaysia.

589
00:39:54.679 --> 00:39:57.920
<v Speaker 1>The Prime Minister said that although both leaders had initially

590
00:39:57.960 --> 00:40:01.280
<v Speaker 1>agreed to a cease fire, fighting still persisted along the

591
00:40:01.280 --> 00:40:05.679
<v Speaker 1>disputed border. Anwar said he has told Foreign Minister Datuk

592
00:40:05.760 --> 00:40:09.840
<v Speaker 1>Seri Mohammad Hassan to contact his Tie and Cambodian counterparts

593
00:40:09.840 --> 00:40:13.840
<v Speaker 1>for talks. Maybe I will directly contact him to at

594
00:40:13.920 --> 00:40:17.719
<v Speaker 1>least stop the shooting and continue the negotiations, said Anwar.

595
00:40:18.440 --> 00:40:21.639
<v Speaker 1>Anhwas said that during his initial call to the two leaders,

596
00:40:22.039 --> 00:40:25.840
<v Speaker 1>they had thanked him for facilitating talks. Even though they

597
00:40:25.880 --> 00:40:28.599
<v Speaker 1>agreed to it, there is still shooting at the border,

598
00:40:28.840 --> 00:40:34.079
<v Speaker 1>added Anwar. Anhwar on Friday, July twenty fifth, stated that

599
00:40:34.159 --> 00:40:37.480
<v Speaker 1>Thailand and Cambodia had agreed to a cease fire, but

600
00:40:37.639 --> 00:40:40.800
<v Speaker 1>requested some time as their troops were already stationed at

601
00:40:40.800 --> 00:40:44.480
<v Speaker 1>the border and needed time to withdraw. Both countries have

602
00:40:44.559 --> 00:40:47.559
<v Speaker 1>accused each other of starting the military clashes and have

603
00:40:47.679 --> 00:40:53.360
<v Speaker 1>downgraded the diplomatic relations since Wednesday, July twenty third. Tensions

604
00:40:53.400 --> 00:40:58.159
<v Speaker 1>between Thailand and Cambodia have been escalating since May twenty eighth,

605
00:40:58.519 --> 00:41:01.519
<v Speaker 1>following a deadly incident in the Pria Vhre area that

606
00:41:01.559 --> 00:41:05.519
<v Speaker 1>claimed the life of a Cambodian soldier. The two countries

607
00:41:05.559 --> 00:41:08.639
<v Speaker 1>have been at odds for decades over various under marketed

608
00:41:08.679 --> 00:41:12.239
<v Speaker 1>points along their eight hundred and seventeen kilometers long border.

609
00:41:13.039 --> 00:41:17.079
<v Speaker 1>United States U S. President Donald Trump, who is currently

610
00:41:17.119 --> 00:41:20.360
<v Speaker 1>in Scotland, said while at a golf course on Saturday,

611
00:41:20.400 --> 00:41:23.480
<v Speaker 1>that he just spoke to the Prime Minister of Cambodia

612
00:41:23.880 --> 00:41:27.599
<v Speaker 1>relative to stopping the war with Thailand. I am calling

613
00:41:27.639 --> 00:41:31.719
<v Speaker 1>the acting Prime Minister of Thailand right now to likewise

614
00:41:31.719 --> 00:41:34.599
<v Speaker 1>request a cease fire and end to the war which

615
00:41:34.639 --> 00:41:39.360
<v Speaker 1>is currently raging. We happen to be, by coincidence, currently

616
00:41:39.400 --> 00:41:42.440
<v Speaker 1>dealing on trade with both countries, but do not want

617
00:41:42.480 --> 00:41:45.719
<v Speaker 1>to make any deal with either country if they are fighting,

618
00:41:46.079 --> 00:41:49.480
<v Speaker 1>and I have told them so. The call with Thailand

619
00:41:49.599 --> 00:41:53.480
<v Speaker 1>is being made momentarily. The call with Cambodia has ended,

620
00:41:53.800 --> 00:41:56.960
<v Speaker 1>but expect to call back regarding war stoppage and cease

621
00:41:57.000 --> 00:42:00.360
<v Speaker 1>fire based on what Thailand has to say. I am

622
00:42:00.440 --> 00:42:04.519
<v Speaker 1>trying to simplify a complex situation. Many people are being

623
00:42:04.599 --> 00:42:07.480
<v Speaker 1>killed in this war, but it very much reminds me

624
00:42:07.559 --> 00:42:11.000
<v Speaker 1>of the conflict between Pakistan and India, which was brought

625
00:42:11.039 --> 00:42:16.239
<v Speaker 1>to a successful halt. Prime Minister of Thailand Python Tan Shinawat,

626
00:42:16.519 --> 00:42:19.880
<v Speaker 1>who is currently on suspension, in a press statement, said

627
00:42:19.920 --> 00:42:23.159
<v Speaker 1>that I would like to emphasize and reaffirm the government's

628
00:42:23.159 --> 00:42:27.480
<v Speaker 1>statement that Cambodia's actions constitute a severe war crime in

629
00:42:27.559 --> 00:42:31.480
<v Speaker 1>violation of peaceful principles under the framework of international law

630
00:42:31.559 --> 00:42:36.519
<v Speaker 1>and the humanitarian principles that Thailand has consistently upheld. The

631
00:42:36.639 --> 00:42:40.079
<v Speaker 1>escalation of violence is something the government does not desire

632
00:42:40.119 --> 00:42:44.000
<v Speaker 1>and has made every effort to prevent. However, when the

633
00:42:44.039 --> 00:42:48.679
<v Speaker 1>opposing side initiated firing first, it became necessary to respond

634
00:42:48.760 --> 00:42:52.800
<v Speaker 1>decisively and appropriately. Although I am unable to perform my

635
00:42:52.960 --> 00:42:56.599
<v Speaker 1>duties in person, I have been closely monitoring the situation

636
00:42:56.719 --> 00:43:01.400
<v Speaker 1>and receiving reports, doing everything within my capacity. I wish

637
00:43:01.480 --> 00:43:04.679
<v Speaker 1>to send my encouragement and concern to all officials and

638
00:43:04.719 --> 00:43:08.800
<v Speaker 1>fellow citizens along the border. I believe that every mechanism

639
00:43:08.840 --> 00:43:11.480
<v Speaker 1>of the government is fully prepared to support the work

640
00:43:11.519 --> 00:43:14.679
<v Speaker 1>of security forces and care for our fellow citizens to

641
00:43:14.760 --> 00:43:18.559
<v Speaker 1>the fullest extent. This includes on site visits by the

642
00:43:18.599 --> 00:43:22.400
<v Speaker 1>Cabinet and the establishment of compensation guidelines for those who

643
00:43:22.440 --> 00:43:26.000
<v Speaker 1>have lost their lives or been injured. At the same time,

644
00:43:26.400 --> 00:43:29.639
<v Speaker 1>the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has utilized every channel of

645
00:43:29.639 --> 00:43:33.960
<v Speaker 1>communication with the international community to clarify the facts regarding

646
00:43:34.000 --> 00:43:36.719
<v Speaker 1>the cause of the conflict, which stems from the Thai

647
00:43:36.840 --> 00:43:40.800
<v Speaker 1>government's efforts to crack down on call center crimes, dismantling

648
00:43:40.800 --> 00:43:44.800
<v Speaker 1>a network of immense financial interests linked to influential groups

649
00:43:44.800 --> 00:43:48.639
<v Speaker 1>in Cambodia. This is to protect Thai citizens and those

650
00:43:48.679 --> 00:43:52.639
<v Speaker 1>of many other countries affected by this operation. I believe

651
00:43:52.679 --> 00:43:56.079
<v Speaker 1>this may be the primary reason for Cambodia's anger, or

652
00:43:56.119 --> 00:44:00.880
<v Speaker 1>perhaps not. Additionally, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has presented

653
00:44:00.920 --> 00:44:07.280
<v Speaker 1>evidence of Cambodia's unjust actions, including violations of treaties, international law,

654
00:44:07.599 --> 00:44:11.480
<v Speaker 1>human rights principles, and severe in humanity, such as the

655
00:44:11.519 --> 00:44:16.000
<v Speaker 1>illicit planting of land mines, initiating attacks, and targeting civilian

656
00:44:16.079 --> 00:44:19.639
<v Speaker 1>sites such as hospitals and homes, resulting in numerous Thai

657
00:44:19.800 --> 00:44:24.199
<v Speaker 1>casualties and injuries. These points have been raised on international

658
00:44:24.239 --> 00:44:28.519
<v Speaker 1>platforms as well. In this situation, Thai people must unite

659
00:44:28.519 --> 00:44:31.760
<v Speaker 1>and stand together as one. We will not yield to

660
00:44:31.760 --> 00:44:35.320
<v Speaker 1>such despicable tactics. And nothing can overcome the unity of

661
00:44:35.360 --> 00:44:39.719
<v Speaker 1>the Thai people. Regarding proposals from various countries to end

662
00:44:39.719 --> 00:44:42.840
<v Speaker 1>the violence. I believe the government is ready to listen,

663
00:44:43.159 --> 00:44:46.159
<v Speaker 1>but the key lies in the attitude and sincerity which

664
00:44:46.559 --> 00:44:49.880
<v Speaker 1>so far we have not seen from Cambodia in this matter.

665
00:44:50.639 --> 00:44:53.960
<v Speaker 1>On behalf of the Ministry of Culture, I express my

666
00:44:54.079 --> 00:44:58.239
<v Speaker 1>boundless gratitude for the gracious compassion of His Majesty the

667
00:44:58.320 --> 00:45:01.400
<v Speaker 1>King and Her Majesty the Queen, who have shown concern

668
00:45:01.480 --> 00:45:04.679
<v Speaker 1>for the military personnel and citizens in the Thai Cambodia

669
00:45:04.719 --> 00:45:09.199
<v Speaker 1>border provinces. Their majesties have graciously taken all those who

670
00:45:09.320 --> 00:45:11.840
<v Speaker 1>lost their lives or were injured in the unrest in

671
00:45:11.880 --> 00:45:15.639
<v Speaker 1>these areas under their royal patronage, bringing immense joy and

672
00:45:15.719 --> 00:45:18.800
<v Speaker 1>gratitude to the families of the deceased and injured, as

673
00:45:18.840 --> 00:45:22.360
<v Speaker 1>well as to tie subjects across the country. Under the

674
00:45:22.400 --> 00:45:25.639
<v Speaker 1>mission of the Ministry of Culture, I have urgently ordered

675
00:45:25.719 --> 00:45:31.039
<v Speaker 1>two key tasks. One ceremonial funerals granted by Royal decree.

676
00:45:31.280 --> 00:45:35.800
<v Speaker 1>As the agency responsible for conducting funerals granted by Royal decree,

677
00:45:36.000 --> 00:45:38.360
<v Speaker 1>we will carry out the tasks in accordance with the

678
00:45:38.440 --> 00:45:41.719
<v Speaker 1>Royal instructions from the Bureau of the Royal Household with

679
00:45:41.840 --> 00:45:46.760
<v Speaker 1>utmost dignity and adherence to traditional royal customs. Two other

680
00:45:46.840 --> 00:45:50.280
<v Speaker 1>assigned support missions from the provinces, such as caring for

681
00:45:50.320 --> 00:45:55.360
<v Speaker 1>the injured, providing essential supplies and necessities, collaborating with relevant

682
00:45:55.400 --> 00:45:59.639
<v Speaker 1>agencies to provide psychological support for those affected, and deploying

683
00:45:59.639 --> 00:46:03.960
<v Speaker 1>personnel to assess damages in accordance with the Ministry's responsibilities

684
00:46:04.239 --> 00:46:07.760
<v Speaker 1>such as historical sites in the area to evaluate damage

685
00:46:07.800 --> 00:46:12.280
<v Speaker 1>and secure funding for restoration and repairs. Moving forward, First

686
00:46:12.320 --> 00:46:15.920
<v Speaker 1>and foremost, I would like to reiterate Deputy Prime Minister

687
00:46:16.039 --> 00:46:20.320
<v Speaker 1>Funtham's yesterday's statement that cambodia act of aggression constitutes a

688
00:46:20.360 --> 00:46:23.960
<v Speaker 1>grave war crime that violates the principles of peaceful resolution

689
00:46:24.199 --> 00:46:30.719
<v Speaker 1>under international law and humanitarian principles which Thailand has always upheld. However,

690
00:46:31.119 --> 00:46:34.159
<v Speaker 1>the government does not condone violence and has made every

691
00:46:34.199 --> 00:46:38.239
<v Speaker 1>effort to avoid it, but when the Cambodian side initiates

692
00:46:38.280 --> 00:46:40.960
<v Speaker 1>the use of arms, it is necessary for us to

693
00:46:41.000 --> 00:46:46.000
<v Speaker 1>response in an appropriate manner. Prime Minister of Cambodia Samdek

694
00:46:46.079 --> 00:46:50.719
<v Speaker 1>Mohaborva thopad hun Mane says while clarifying Cambodia's stance on

695
00:46:50.800 --> 00:46:54.639
<v Speaker 1>the cease fire proposed by Anwar Ibrahim, the Prime Minister

696
00:46:54.719 --> 00:46:57.840
<v Speaker 1>of Malaysia and rotating Chair of A Zian that, given

697
00:46:57.960 --> 00:47:02.159
<v Speaker 1>some unclear reporting in various inter national news outlets regarding

698
00:47:02.239 --> 00:47:07.360
<v Speaker 1>Cambodia's position on the ceasefire proposed by His Excellency Awar Ibrahim,

699
00:47:07.599 --> 00:47:10.800
<v Speaker 1>Prime Minister of Malaysia and the Rotating at Zien Chair,

700
00:47:11.280 --> 00:47:15.519
<v Speaker 1>I am obliged to clarify as follows. Yesterday evening on

701
00:47:15.639 --> 00:47:19.360
<v Speaker 1>the twenty fourth of July twenty twenty five, his Excellency

702
00:47:19.400 --> 00:47:22.960
<v Speaker 1>and Wai Ibrahim, Prime Minister of Malaysia the Rotating a

703
00:47:23.079 --> 00:47:26.719
<v Speaker 1>Zien Chair, requested a phone conversation with me to discuss

704
00:47:26.760 --> 00:47:30.239
<v Speaker 1>the fighting between the Cambodian and Thai militaries along the border.

705
00:47:30.960 --> 00:47:34.079
<v Speaker 1>He expressed his concern over the conflict and his desire

706
00:47:34.119 --> 00:47:37.039
<v Speaker 1>for an immediate ceasefire to pave way for a resolution

707
00:47:37.199 --> 00:47:40.480
<v Speaker 1>between the two sides. I made it clear to his

708
00:47:40.559 --> 00:47:44.480
<v Speaker 1>Excellency and Wi Ibrahim that Cambodia agreed with his proposal

709
00:47:44.559 --> 00:47:48.159
<v Speaker 1>for a ceasefire because Cambodia did not initiate this fighting.

710
00:47:48.880 --> 00:47:52.199
<v Speaker 1>An initial response I received from his Excellency and Wi

711
00:47:52.280 --> 00:47:56.599
<v Speaker 1>Ibrahim after he spoke with His Excellency Fumtham Wechaii, acting

712
00:47:56.679 --> 00:47:59.639
<v Speaker 1>Prime Minister of Thailand, was that the Thai side had

713
00:47:59.639 --> 00:48:02.920
<v Speaker 1>agreed to his proposal for a ceasefire, setting twelve a

714
00:48:03.159 --> 00:48:06.039
<v Speaker 1>m On the twenty fourth of July twenty twenty five

715
00:48:06.159 --> 00:48:10.039
<v Speaker 1>as the time for both sides to cease the fighting. However,

716
00:48:10.400 --> 00:48:13.280
<v Speaker 1>it is regrettable that just over an hour later, the

717
00:48:13.360 --> 00:48:16.199
<v Speaker 1>Thai side informed that they had reversed their position from

718
00:48:16.239 --> 00:48:18.880
<v Speaker 1>agreeing to the ceasefire at twelve a m. On the

719
00:48:18.920 --> 00:48:22.480
<v Speaker 1>twenty fourth of July twenty twenty five to not agreeing

720
00:48:22.519 --> 00:48:26.639
<v Speaker 1>and waiting for a later date. His Excellency Annwa Ibrahim

721
00:48:26.719 --> 00:48:30.159
<v Speaker 1>is well aware of this situation. Therefore, the key to

722
00:48:30.280 --> 00:48:34.280
<v Speaker 1>resolving the current armed conflict between Thailand and Cambodia is

723
00:48:34.280 --> 00:48:36.880
<v Speaker 1>the genuine willingness of the Thai side to accept a

724
00:48:36.920 --> 00:48:40.320
<v Speaker 1>cease fire, which is the first step towards finding further

725
00:48:40.400 --> 00:48:44.480
<v Speaker 1>solutions between the two countries. Even though there is currently

726
00:48:44.559 --> 00:48:47.960
<v Speaker 1>fighting between the Cambodian and Thai armies at the border.

727
00:48:48.119 --> 00:48:51.599
<v Speaker 1>I appealed to all Cambodian citizens to maintain their morality

728
00:48:51.639 --> 00:48:55.800
<v Speaker 1>and dignity and to avoid discrimination or any actions that

729
00:48:55.840 --> 00:48:59.719
<v Speaker 1>could affect the Royal Thai Embassy in Cambodia, Thai companies,

730
00:49:00.079 --> 00:49:04.079
<v Speaker 1>and Thai citizens living in Cambodia. For Cambodian citizens who

731
00:49:04.079 --> 00:49:07.280
<v Speaker 1>are living, working or studying in Thailand and may be

732
00:49:07.400 --> 00:49:11.079
<v Speaker 1>facing pressure from discrimination and wish to return to Cambodia,

733
00:49:11.400 --> 00:49:14.559
<v Speaker 1>please come back to our country. If you need assistance,

734
00:49:14.920 --> 00:49:18.360
<v Speaker 1>please contact the Royal Embassy of Cambodia in Bangkok or

735
00:49:18.400 --> 00:49:22.320
<v Speaker 1>the Consulate General of Cambodia in Essa Caio Province in Thailand.

736
00:49:22.960 --> 00:49:26.719
<v Speaker 1>Sincere thanks to our Cambodian compatriots for coming together in

737
00:49:26.840 --> 00:49:30.360
<v Speaker 1>large numbers for the blood donation responding to the heartfelt

738
00:49:30.400 --> 00:49:33.719
<v Speaker 1>appeal of h Doctor Pichanmani on the evening of July

739
00:49:33.920 --> 00:49:37.239
<v Speaker 1>twenty fourth. As a result of the blood donation drive,

740
00:49:37.599 --> 00:49:41.159
<v Speaker 1>we received two thousand, one hundred and seventeen units of blood.

741
00:49:41.639 --> 00:49:45.599
<v Speaker 1>In addition, nine thousand, three hundred and thirty six individuals

742
00:49:45.679 --> 00:49:48.679
<v Speaker 1>registered via QR code to be able to donate later.

743
00:49:49.280 --> 00:49:53.320
<v Speaker 1>These results demonstrate the humanitarian spirit and solidarity of the

744
00:49:53.360 --> 00:49:57.199
<v Speaker 1>Cambodian people, showing strong support for the potential needs of

745
00:49:57.239 --> 00:49:59.920
<v Speaker 1>our heroes on the front lines and displaced people. In

746
00:50:00.199 --> 00:50:06.800
<v Speaker 1>Da Minchi and Priya Viha Provinces. What's as I can't
