Speaker 1: Ahead of the United Nations UN General Assembly slated for
Speaker 1: September twenty twenty five. The President of France, A Manual Macron,
Speaker 1: on Thursday issued a statement and said that France will
Speaker 1: recognize the State of Palestine at the U ncoming Meeting
Speaker 1: of Heads of States as a way to put an
Speaker 1: end to the war in Gaza so that the civilian
Speaker 1: populations in the Palestinian city can be rescued, also describing
Speaker 1: the move as france historical commitment to adjust and lasting
Speaker 1: peace in the Middle East. This the Prime Minister of Israel,
Speaker 1: Benjamin Natanyahoo, within an hour issued a counterpress statement and
Speaker 1: said that the State of Israel condemned the decision of
Speaker 1: France President to recognize the State of Palestine, stressing that
Speaker 1: such move by France rewards terror and risks creating another
Speaker 1: Iran proxy that will be a launch pad to annihilate Israel.
Speaker 1: According to the President of France, A Manual Macron, true
Speaker 1: to its historic commitment to a just and lasting peace
Speaker 1: in the Middle East, I have decided that France will
Speaker 1: recognize the State of Palestine. I will make the solemn
Speaker 1: announcement of the United Nations General Assembly next September the
Speaker 1: urgency is today. For the war in Gaza to end
Speaker 1: and the civilian population to be rescued, peace is possible.
Speaker 1: There is an immediate cease fire, the release of all hostages,
Speaker 1: and massive humanitarian aid to the people of Gaza. We
Speaker 1: must also guarantee the demilitarization of har mass secure and
Speaker 1: rebuild Gaza. At last, it is necessary to build the
Speaker 1: state of Palestine, ensure its viability, and allow that by
Speaker 1: accepting its demilitarization and fully acknowledging Israel, it participates in
Speaker 1: the safety of everyone in the Middle East. There is
Speaker 1: no alternative. The French want peace in the Middle East.
Speaker 1: It is up to us, the French, together with Israelis,
Speaker 1: the Palestinians, our European and international partners, to demonstrate that
Speaker 1: it is possible. In light of the commitments that the
Speaker 1: President of the Palestinian Authority made to me, I wrote
Speaker 1: to him my determination to move forward, trust, clarity and commitment.
Speaker 1: We will win peace, the French president stated. In a
Speaker 1: swift reaction, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reacted and said we
Speaker 1: strongly condemned President Macron's decision to recognize a Palestinian state
Speaker 1: next to Tel Aviv in the wake of the October
Speaker 1: seventh massacre. Such a move rewards terror and risks creating
Speaker 1: another Iranian proxy, just as Gaza became. A Palestinian state
Speaker 1: in these conditions, would be a launch pad to annihilate Israel,
Speaker 1: not to live in peace beside it. Let's be clear,
Speaker 1: the Palestinians do not seek a state alongside Israel. They
Speaker 1: seek a state instead of Israel. Meanwhile, it would be
Speaker 1: recalled that Daily Sabin Used media on May twenty eighth,
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, reported that Indonesian President Probobo Subianto said
Speaker 1: he would consider diplomatic ties with Israel only if it
Speaker 1: recognized a Palestinian state, speaking during talks with French President
Speaker 1: Emmanuel Macron in Jakarta. Indonesia, the world's most populous Muslim
Speaker 1: majority nation, has no formal ties with Israel and has
Speaker 1: consistently called for a two state solution to the decades
Speaker 1: long conflict. On various occasions, I have said that Indonesia
Speaker 1: sees the two state solution and the freedom of Palestine
Speaker 1: is the only way to achieve the true piece, he
Speaker 1: told a news conference. I also emphasized that we must
Speaker 1: acknowledge and guarantee Israel's writes as a sovereign country that
Speaker 1: must be paid attention to unguaranteed safety. Indonesia has stated
Speaker 1: that once Israel recognizes Palestine, Indonesia is ready to recognize
Speaker 1: Israel and open the diplomatic relationship. In a joint statement,
Speaker 1: France and Indonesia called for progress on mutual recognition between
Speaker 1: Israel and the Palestinians at an international conference meant to
Speaker 1: resurrect the idea of a two state solution next month
Speaker 1: June twenty two, twenty five, which Paris will co chair.
Speaker 1: The conference should restore a political prospect of a peaceful
Speaker 1: settlement of this conflict, which should allow for an irreversible
Speaker 1: path toward the realization of a Palestinian state and mutual
Speaker 1: recognition between Israel and Palestine. They said support for the
Speaker 1: Palestinian cause runs high in Indonesia and the issue regularly
Speaker 1: prompts protests. In twenty twenty three, FIFA stripped Indonesia as
Speaker 1: the Under twenty World Cup hosts after some prominent politicians
Speaker 1: called for Israel to be kicked out of the tournament
Speaker 1: and refused to host its team. On the other hand,
Speaker 1: Al Jazeera on the eighteenth of July twenty twenty four
Speaker 1: reported that Israel's parliament has passed a resolution that overwhelmingly
Speaker 1: rejected the establishment of a Palestinian state. Israeli media reported
Speaker 1: the resolution passed in the Kanessid with sixty eight votes
Speaker 1: in favour and just nine against it early on Thursday.
Speaker 1: It said that a Palestinian state would pose an existential
Speaker 1: danger to the State of Israel and its citizens, perpetuate
Speaker 1: the Israeli Palestinian conflict, and destabilize the region. Prime Minister
Speaker 1: Benjamin Letten, Yahoo's coalition with far right parties co sponsored
Speaker 1: the resolution. Opposition leader Yell Lapid center left party left
Speaker 1: the session to avoid supporting the statement, despite previously saying
Speaker 1: he favored a two state solution. The Times of Israel
Speaker 1: newspaper reported Mustafa Barghuti, the secretary general of the Palestinian
Speaker 1: National Initiative, slammed the passing of the resolution. No Zionist
Speaker 1: party from both the government and the opposition voted against
Speaker 1: the resolution. He wrote on x this resolution represents a
Speaker 1: rejection of peace with Palestinians and an official declaration of
Speaker 1: the death of the Oslo Agreement. Barguti posted the Oslo Accords,
Speaker 1: which were first signed between Palestinian and Israeli leaders in
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety three called for a Bible and sovereign Palestinian
Speaker 1: state living side by side with an Israeli state, but
Speaker 1: Israel has continued to adopt policies such as building illegal
Speaker 1: settlements on Palestinian lands across the occupied West Bank and
Speaker 1: a complete blockade of Gaza. Palestinian Authority official Husain al
Speaker 1: Shaik condemned the resolution on social media, saying the Knesset's
Speaker 1: rejection confirms the racism of the occupying state and its
Speaker 1: disregard for international law and international legitimacy, and its insistence
Speaker 1: on the approach and policy of perpetuating the occupation forever.
Speaker 1: Jordan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said the resolution's approval was
Speaker 1: a dangerous violation of international law. Israel's continued efforts to
Speaker 1: deny the Palestinian's analienable right to their independent and sovereign
Speaker 1: state along the lines of June fourth, nineteen sixty seven,
Speaker 1: with occupied Jerusalem as its capital does not bring security
Speaker 1: and peace in the region, read a statement citing the
Speaker 1: Ministry the spokesperson Sufi and al Kuda. The Times of
Speaker 1: Israel quoted the resolution as saying it will only be
Speaker 1: a matter of a short time until Hamas takes over
Speaker 1: the Palestinian state and turns it into a radical Islamic
Speaker 1: terror base, working in coordination with the Iranian led access
Speaker 1: to eliminate the state of Israel. It added that a
Speaker 1: Palestinian state at this time would be a reward for
Speaker 1: terrorism and will only encourage Hamas and its supporters to
Speaker 1: see this as a victory, referring to the Hamas led
Speaker 1: attacks on October seventh in southern Israel that triggered the
Speaker 1: current conflict. The decision, however, is not new for the Kanessid,
Speaker 1: which has previously rejected Palestinian statehood. A growing number of
Speaker 1: countries have recognized Palestinian statehood, including Spain, Slovenia, Norway, Ireland
Speaker 1: and others. The resolution comes as Netanyahoo is expected to
Speaker 1: address the United States Congress next week in Washington, d C,
Speaker 1: which has caused divisions among Democratic parties all makers who
Speaker 1: have spoken out against Israel's conduct in its war on Gaza.
Speaker 1: On Wednesday, United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterras said that
Speaker 1: Israel's policy in the occupied West Bank was dooming any
Speaker 1: prospect of a two state solution. Through administrative and legal steps,
Speaker 1: Israel is changing the geography of the West Bank, Guterras
Speaker 1: said in a statement read by his Chief of Staff,
Speaker 1: Courtney Ratre, during a meeting of the UN Security Council.
Speaker 1: Recent developments are driving a stake through the heart of
Speaker 1: any prospect for a two state solution. He said, we
Speaker 1: must change course. All settlement activity must cease immediately. The
Speaker 1: UN chief added that the settlements were a flagrant violation
Speaker 1: of international law and an obstacle to peace with Palestinians.

Speaker 1: symptoms of a neck procedure he underwent in May twenty
Speaker 1: twenty five. The global sports HiCon Hulk Hogan undoubtedly transformed

Speaker 1: Order in w c W. Whether he was a hero
Speaker 1: or villain, clad in red and yellow or black and white,
Speaker 1: the Hulkster was always one of the rings most popular
Speaker 1: and enduring stars. Hogan abandoned a career in music with
Speaker 1: his Tampa, Florida based band Rucis when he was discovered
Speaker 1: by w w V Hall of Famous Jack and Jerry Briscoe.
Speaker 1: In nineteen seventy seven, Hogan began training with Hero Matsuda,

Speaker 1: Netanyahu can stop the war within an hour. We don't
Speaker 1: ask for protection from Israel or anyone. We are protected
Speaker 1: by God. Syria President Ahmed Hussain al Shara, in a
Speaker 1: televised nationwide broadcast on Thursday, said protecting true citizens is
Speaker 1: a priority while rejecting any foreign involvement. In his first
Speaker 1: televised statement after Israeli strikes on Damascus, he said Syrians
Speaker 1: must be defended without inviting chaos or destruction, saying Israel
Speaker 1: seeks to create chaos in Syria. President al Shara accused
Speaker 1: Israel of trying to destabilize Syria, saying the Israeli entity
Speaker 1: seeks to turn our land into a theater of chaos.
Speaker 1: The Syrian people always ready to defend the dignity, he claimed,
Speaker 1: Israel intensified the situation through its actions, especially toward the
Speaker 1: Druze population. Since the regime's fall, Israel has aimed to
Speaker 1: dismantle Syria. We have chosen not to be dragged into
Speaker 1: direct confrontation to preserve national security, he added, Instead of retaliation,
Speaker 1: al Shara announced that responsibility for local security would be
Speaker 1: given to tribal leaders and local factions. Office of the
Speaker 1: Prime Minister of Israel on Tuesday has said Prime Minister
Speaker 1: Benjamin Lettanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Kats have directed the
Speaker 1: IDF to immediately attack the regime forces and the weaponry
Speaker 1: that entered the Swider area of the Druze Mountain in Syria,
Speaker 1: and that the regime intended to use against the DRUS,
Speaker 1: which was done in contravention of the demilitarization policy. They
Speaker 1: decided on of preventing the entry of forces and weaponry
Speaker 1: that endangers Israel in the southern region of Syria. Israel
Speaker 1: is committed to preventing harm being inflicted on the Drews
Speaker 1: in Syria, owing to the deep covenant of blood with
Speaker 1: our Druze citizens in Israel and their historical and familial
Speaker 1: link to the Drews in Syria. We are acting to
Speaker 1: prevent the Syrian regime from harmingham and to ensure the
Speaker 1: demilitarization of the region adjacent to our border with Syria.
Speaker 1: The Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Natanyahu, in a recorded video
Speaker 1: statement on Wednesday, said, and in quotes, my fellow citizens
Speaker 1: of the Druze region, the situation in Swider, the situation
Speaker 1: in southwest Syria is very serious. The IDF is operating,
Speaker 1: the Air Force is operating, other forces are operating. We
Speaker 1: are working to save our Druze brothers and to eliminate
Speaker 1: the regime's gangs. And now I have one request from you.
Speaker 1: You are a citizen of Israel, do not cross the line.
Speaker 1: You are endangering your lives. You can be murdered, you
Speaker 1: can be kidnapped, and you are hurting the fe of
Speaker 1: the IDF. And that's why I'm asking you go back
Speaker 1: to your homes. Let the IDF act. Harled News and
Speaker 1: Israel based news media in Details reported that Syrian regime
Speaker 1: forces began withdrawing Wednesday evening from the predominantly Druze Southern
Speaker 1: Swider province, following five days of intense clashes, Israeli air
Speaker 1: strikes and mass cross border movement of Drews from Israel
Speaker 1: inter Syrian territory. The withdrawal was part of a ceasefire
Speaker 1: agreement reached between the regime and senior figures in the
Speaker 1: local Dreuze leadership. The deal, announced earlier in the day
Speaker 1: by Shaik Yusif Jerbua, a prominent Dreuze cleric, calls for
Speaker 1: the full integration of Swider into the new Syrian administration. However,
Speaker 1: it also requires the regime's military units, which were involved
Speaker 1: in heavy fighting in the region, to pull out and
Speaker 1: allow local Drew's forces to take over internal security. Local
Speaker 1: media reported that the fullback began around nine p m.
Speaker 1: Under the terms of the agreement, which permits police forces
Speaker 1: affiliated with the regime to remain in the province and
Speaker 1: coordinate with local Druze security elements. A mechanism was also
Speaker 1: established to regulate possession of heavy weapons, aimed at ending
Speaker 1: their use outside of official state frameworks. Coordination with religious
Speaker 1: and community leaders was emphasized, with sensitivity to the social
Speaker 1: and historical context of the Druze majority province. The ceasefire
Speaker 1: followed reports of atrocities during the fighting, including summary executions
Speaker 1: of civilians by regime forces and allied Bedouin militias, public
Speaker 1: humiliation of Druze religious leaders, and the looting and burning
Speaker 1: of homes. A Commission of inquiry is to be established
Speaker 1: to investigate these incidents. Sheik Higmat al Hidri, the community's
Speaker 1: top spiritual authority in Syria, rejected the agreement outright, calling
Speaker 1: to continue the struggle until Swider is liberate. He said
Speaker 1: there could be no negotiation with the armed gangs calling
Speaker 1: themselves the government, and warned that anyone deviating from the
Speaker 1: unified community position would be held accountable. A prominent local
Speaker 1: Drew's militia, the Men of Dignity movement, also opposed the
Speaker 1: deal and demanded a full withdrawal of all regime forces.
Speaker 1: After the martyrdom of our best leaders and fighters, the
Speaker 1: movement will defend itself until the last fight are able
Speaker 1: to carry a weapon unless the invaders retreat from all
Speaker 1: villages and towns, the group said. Reports of Wednesday evenings
Speaker 1: withdrawal came shortly after the U. S State Department called
Speaker 1: on President Armored al Shara's regime to pull its forces
Speaker 1: out of Swider to allow all parties to de escalate tensions.
Speaker 1: Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirmed shortly afterward that an
Speaker 1: agreement had been reached, which he said could bring the
Speaker 1: crisis to an end as early as to night. The
Speaker 1: agreement includes specific step required from all sides. He said.
Speaker 1: This will require all parties to deliver on the commitments
Speaker 1: they have made, and this is what we fully expect
Speaker 1: them to do. A comment likely referring also to an
Speaker 1: end to Israeli air stripes controlled over Swider remains a
Speaker 1: central issue in the ongoing tensions. The province is home
Speaker 1: to Syria's largest Sdruze community, numbering about seven hundred thousand,
Speaker 1: and has long feared persecution under the al Shara regime,
Speaker 1: which has been accused of seeking to return the Druz
Speaker 1: to pure Islam and dismantle their traditional way of life.
Speaker 1: In April, violent clashes erupted between Drews fighters and regime forces,
Speaker 1: resulting in more than one hundred deaths. That round of
Speaker 1: fighting ended with a ceasefire in May, and since then
Speaker 1: Drew's forces had maintained security control in the province. The
Speaker 1: latest round of fighting has so far claimed more than
Speaker 1: three hundred lives. According to the UK based Syrian Observatory
Speaker 1: for Human Rights, That figure includes sixty nine Druze fighters
Speaker 1: and forty Druze civilians, twenty seven of whom were reportedly executed.
Speaker 1: It also includes one hundred and sixty five regime soldiers
Speaker 1: and eighteen Bedouin militia members. The violence began late last
Speaker 1: week after Bedouin gunmen robbed a young Druze man from Swieder.
Speaker 1: In response, local residents detained several members of Bedouin tribes,
Speaker 1: escalating tensions. On Tuesday, as fighting continued, Al Shara's forces
Speaker 1: entered the provincial capital, claiming they aimed to restore order,
Speaker 1: but according to reports, they joined in the clashes and
Speaker 1: were involved in attacks against the Druze population. Dru's leaders
Speaker 1: appealed to the international community, describing the situation as a
Speaker 1: campaign of extermination. Israel responded with a series of intensified
Speaker 1: air strikes aimed at forcing Syrian forces out of Swider.
Speaker 1: Among the targets was the Syrian military headquarters in Demands,
Speaker 1: hit in a strike broadcast live on Syrian television, killing five.
Speaker 1: A military site near Al Shara's presidential palace was also struck,
Speaker 1: and an Israeli military source told reut As the attack
Speaker 1: was a direct message to the regime. Israel will not
Speaker 1: allow a military build up on its border with southern Syria,
Speaker 1: and it will not allow the massacre of drus in Syria,
Speaker 1: the official said. We have reported that the Israel Prime
Speaker 1: Minister Benjamin Letanyahu has commended and praised the efforts of
Speaker 1: personnel at the Israel Institute for Intelligence and Special Operations
Speaker 1: known in Hebrew word as MOSSAD over the fall of
Speaker 1: Bishah al Assad regime in Syria early December twenty twenty four,
Speaker 1: apparently corroborating the statement issued by the Iran Supreme Leader
Speaker 1: Ayatolla Kamene in late December twenty twenty four that the
Speaker 1: fall of President al Assad regime was a plan orchestrated
Speaker 1: by Israel and the United States US under the leadership
Speaker 1: of then President Joe Biden. This Israel Prime Minister Benjamin
Speaker 1: Netanyahu at the sixty eighth Session of the United Nations
Speaker 1: General Assembly on October first, twenty thirteen, said that Iran
Speaker 1: directly participated in Assad's murderer and massacre of tens of
Speaker 1: thousands of innocent men, women and children in Syria, used
Speaker 1: chemical weapons against its own people, and in twenty ten,
Speaker 1: the ousted Syrian president Bushah al Assad had accused Israel
Speaker 1: of avoiding peace, and Syrian Foreign Minister will Lead nueln
Speaker 1: warned that in the event of a future war, Israeli
Speaker 1: cities would be targeted by Syrian missiles, an action Israel
Speaker 1: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyah, who believed to be the underground
Speaker 1: work of Iran Supreme Leader Iatol A Kamenee, he had
Speaker 1: accused severally of being the root cause of war in
Speaker 1: the Middle East, specifically stating at the sixty eighth Session
Speaker 1: of the UN Assembly that some two thousand, five hundred
Speaker 1: years ago, the Great Persian King Cyrus ended the Babylonian
Speaker 1: exile of the Jewish people. He issued a famous edict
Speaker 1: in which he proclaimed the right of the Jews to
Speaker 1: return to the land of Israel and rebuild the Jewish
Speaker 1: Temple in Jerusalem. That's a Persian decree, and thus began
Speaker 1: an historic friendship between the Jews and the Persians that
Speaker 1: lasted until modern times. But in nineteen seventy nine, a
Speaker 1: radical regime in Tehran tried to stamp out that friendship
Speaker 1: as it was busy crushing the Iranian people's hope for democracy.
Speaker 1: It always led wild chants of death of the Jews. Now,
Speaker 1: since that time, presidents of Iran have come and gone.
Speaker 1: Some presidents were considered moderates, other hard liners, but they've
Speaker 1: all served that same unforgiving creed, that same unforgiving regime,
Speaker 1: that creed that is espoused and enforced by the real
Speaker 1: power in Iran, the dictator known as the Supreme Leader,
Speaker 1: first Iotolahmeni and now Aatolicum a AE. We have reported
Speaker 1: that in April twenty twenty five, Israel Prime Minister Benjamin
Speaker 1: Netanyaho traveled to the United States US and held meetings
Speaker 1: with President Donald Trump. Only returned from the official trip
Speaker 1: and intensify more aggressive military campaigns in Gaza and staged
Speaker 1: a military confrontation with Iran, which led to the killing
Speaker 1: of almost one thousand Iranians in a twelve day war
Speaker 1: with the Islamic country. This On Tuesday, Prime Minister Benjamin
Speaker 1: Netanyahu told his Cabinet members that he will travel to
Speaker 1: the US next week to hold very important security meetings
Speaker 1: with President Donald Trump and the U S lawmakers, amongst others,
Speaker 1: while specifically telling the cabinet members that the details of
Speaker 1: the scheduled meetings are things he cannot reveal. At the briefing,
Speaker 1: we had reported that the United States U S President
Speaker 1: Donald Trump has accused members of the Israel House of Assembly,
Speaker 1: known in Hebrew word as Kanesset, of apparent politically which
Speaker 1: hunting the Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu with corre ouction case.
Speaker 1: President Trump had described as nothing but political witch hunt,
Speaker 1: saying the Kanesset prosecutor should let Benjamin Netanyahu go. That
Speaker 1: he's a war hero who have worked with the US
Speaker 1: to eliminate Iran nuclear threats, and currently he has a
Speaker 1: big job to do with negotiations of peace deals with
Speaker 1: Iran and Hamas, stressing in a question manner, how possible
Speaker 1: is it for the Israel Prime minister to sit in
Speaker 1: court all day long? This the prime minister lawyer had
Speaker 1: filed a two week delay of the case, citing national
Speaker 1: security demands following the twelve day Israel Iran War, but
Speaker 1: the court sitting in Jerusalem rejected the application on Friday,
Speaker 1: and Benjamin Netanyahu, who has spent twenty years as israel
Speaker 1: Prime Minister, was expected to be in court on Monday
Speaker 1: for cross examination in the corruption case that started with
Speaker 1: police investigation in twenty sixteen and the court trial commenced
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty. But a report from some way foreign
Speaker 1: media quoting the prime minister political party Licked a few
Speaker 1: hours ago, indicated that the court on Sunday has postponed
Speaker 1: the case and canceled it from holding this week. Similarly,
Speaker 1: some members of the Knesset had accused the Prime Minister
Speaker 1: of trying to use the regional war with hermas Hesblaran
Speaker 1: Iran to secure end to the corruption charges. We had
Speaker 1: reported that thousands of mourners on Saturday put on mostly
Speaker 1: black and black clothes and rallied from Englab Square to
Speaker 1: Azadi Square in Tehran, the Iranian state capital, to honor
Speaker 1: the country top military commanders, nuclear scientists, four little children
Speaker 1: and four women among the hundreds of people killed during
Speaker 1: the twelve days war. The Islamic country had with Israel
Speaker 1: and the United States US, with the mourners chanting anti
Speaker 1: US and Israel songs, while the Iran Supreme Leader Ali
Speaker 1: Kamaney was not seen at the funeral, with reports indicating
Speaker 1: that he has remained out of public space and still
Speaker 1: taking cover in a well secured hied out since on Tuesday,
Speaker 1: the ceasefire between the two countries had been broken, and
Speaker 1: the cynature of many eyes at the state funeral ceremony
Speaker 1: was the arrival and appearance of two top senior Iranian
Speaker 1: military offices previously declared killed by Israel. Ali Shankhani, senior
Speaker 1: adviser to Supreme Leader Iatola Kamaneh, and Ismail Khani, commander
Speaker 1: of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps IRGC COUDS force, which
Speaker 1: Israel Defense Forces IDF had claimed to have assassinated with
Speaker 1: an air strike on the thirteenth of June twenty twenty five,
Speaker 1: during the start of the Iran Israel War. However, Iranian
Speaker 1: state media contradicted the IDF report on the twentieth of
Speaker 1: June that the officials are still alive and they were
Speaker 1: in stable condition after recovering from severe injuries from the strike.
Speaker 1: We had reported that the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
Speaker 1: has listed what the troops of Operation Rising Lions achieved
Speaker 1: in a twelve day war with the Islamic Republic of Iran,
Speaker 1: stating that Israel will now pursue the path of making
Speaker 1: peace with nations in the Middles East and compensate those
Speaker 1: that suffered damages, specifically stating that all the buildings destroyed
Speaker 1: by Iran ballistic missiles will be rebuilt in you by
Speaker 1: the Israeli government for the victims, adding that without the
Speaker 1: immense achievements in Gaza, in Lebanon, in Syria, and against
Speaker 1: the said terrorism in Judea and Samaria, Israel would not
Speaker 1: have been able to reach Tehran. Made the statement on
Speaker 1: Tuesday evening after Iran President Massud Pozeshkian announced an ent
Speaker 1: to the twelve days tensed and frightening military campaigns that
Speaker 1: the United States, led by President Donald Trump, took side

Speaker 1: the ongoing war in the Middle East and beyond to
Speaker 1: end the battles because, according to the Pope, more only

Speaker 1: victory can compensate the pains of mothers, the stolen futures,
Speaker 1: and the fear of children, emphasizing that war does not
Speaker 1: solve problem. We had reported that the Israeli Prime Minister

Speaker 2: Amidi Guinni Binnim.
Speaker 1: President Bola Ahmed Tenubu has confirmed and announced the death
Speaker 1: of the nigeria immediate past President Muhammadu Buhari at a
Speaker 1: London hospital at about four thirty pm on Sunday, after
Speaker 1: years of rumors and speculations by the detained leader of
Speaker 1: the Indigenous People of Biafra, ipob Marzi Namdi Karo, that
Speaker 1: the person that ruled Nigeria for the last eight years
Speaker 1: died few years after he took over office. On May
Speaker 1: twenty ninth, twenty fifteen, the news of former President Buhari's
Speaker 1: death came at a time the ex president was a
Speaker 1: major point of discussion during the preceding week after the
Speaker 1: personal media a to the late President Garbasche who confessed
Speaker 1: he lied to cover up the health issues of the
Speaker 1: then President Mohammadu Buhari a confessions. People of Biafra described
Speaker 1: and said that the Gaba Shohose confessional statement about the
Speaker 1: use of the Villarat invasion story to cover up former
Speaker 1: President Mohammadu Buhari's illness vindicates its detained leader, Namdi Karu,
Speaker 1: who had speculated years ago, starting from twenty eighteen, that
Speaker 1: the real Muhammadu Buhari died few years after assuming office
Speaker 1: that the man that ruled Nigeria for the last part
Speaker 1: of first tenure and second tenure was mister Jubil Al
Speaker 1: Sudani from Sudan. In a statement on Saturday by the
Speaker 1: BAFRE groups spokesperson Emma powerful Ipob said Kanu was the
Speaker 1: first to expose Buhari's health condition and was persecuted for it.
Speaker 1: The group described Shoho's confession as a delayed confession born
Speaker 1: out of guilt and irrelevance. Where was this honesty when
Speaker 1: the Nigerian people needed it. Where was this truth when
Speaker 1: IPOB and our leader were being vilified, jailed and labeled
Speaker 1: terrorists for speaking it. If this level of deliberate misinformation
Speaker 1: had happened in any sane society, those responsible would be
Speaker 1: in jail for subverting the constitution, undermining national security, and
Speaker 1: deceiving the electorate. But Nigeria rewards mediocrity, protects liars, and
Speaker 1: punishes truth tellers. The truth is like the rising sun.
Speaker 1: It cannot be suppressed. To day Garba che who has
Speaker 1: confessed tomorrow, others will follow. Assau Rock is a house
Speaker 1: built on lies and the foundation is shaking. The statement added,
Speaker 1: the former president Mohammadu Buhari had begged for forgiveness if
Speaker 1: he had done any one wrong. In twenty twenty three,
Speaker 1: he said at a gathering that whoever thought that there
Speaker 1: has been some form of injustice on him, we are
Speaker 1: all humans. There is no doubt I hurt some people
Speaker 1: and I wish they would pardon me. And those who
Speaker 1: think that I have heard them, please pardon me. Late
Speaker 1: President Mohammadu Buhari stated this in May twenty twenty three.
Speaker 1: According to the video republished on ex social media platform
Speaker 1: on Sunday by one of his former media assistants, Busher Armored.
Speaker 1: According to the press release by the president Spokesperson, Beyo Onnanunga,

Speaker 1: of state between January nineteen eighty four and August nineteen
Speaker 1: eighty five. President Tanubu has ordered flags at half staff

Speaker 1: a heavy heart that I received the news of the
Speaker 1: passing of his Excellency, Major General Mohammadu Buhari, retired GCFR,
Speaker 1: my predecessor, who departed this life today Sunday, July thirteenth,
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, at a hospital in the United Kingdom.
Speaker 1: President Buhari was to the very corps, a patriot, a soldier,
Speaker 1: a statesman. His legacy of service and sacrifice indurres. He
Speaker 1: served Niji with unwavering dedication, first as a military leader
Speaker 1: from January nineteen eighty four to August nineteen eighty five,
Speaker 1: and later as a democratically elected president from twenty fifteen
Speaker 1: to twenty twenty three. Duty, honor, and a deep commitment
Speaker 1: to the unity and progress of our nation defined his life.
Speaker 1: He stood firm through the most turbulent times, leading with
Speaker 1: quiet strength, profound integrity, and an unshakable belief in Nigeria's potential.
Speaker 1: He championed discipline in public service, confronted corruption head on,
Speaker 1: and placed the country above personal interest at every turn.
Speaker 1: In this moment of national mourning, I extend my deepest
Speaker 1: condolences to his beloved wife, Aisha, with whom I have
Speaker 1: been in constant touch, his children, the entire Buhari family,
Speaker 1: and all who knew and loved him. I also extend
Speaker 1: my condolences to the government and people of Katsina State,
Speaker 1: most especially the people and traditional leaders of Darrah Emirate.
Speaker 1: We honor his service, we reflect on his legacy, and
Speaker 1: we pray for the peaceful repose of his soul. As
Speaker 1: a mark of respect to our former leader, I have
Speaker 1: directed that all national flags fly at half staff across
Speaker 1: the country for seven days from to day. I have
Speaker 1: also summoned an emergency Federal Executive Council session on Tuesday
Speaker 1: dedicated to his honor. The Federal Government will accord President
Speaker 1: Buhari full state honors befitting his towering contributions to our country.
Speaker 1: May Allah forgive his shortcomings and grant him al jana ferdos,
Speaker 1: and may his life continue to inspire generations of Nigerians
Speaker 1: to serve with courage, conviction and selfishness. Bola Ahmed Tenubu,
Speaker 1: gc f R, President Federal Republic of Nigeria stated this
Speaker 1: on Sunday, July thirteenth, twenty twenty five. It would be
Speaker 1: recalled that in April twenty nineteen, during the preparation for
Speaker 1: the Nigeria general elections, Nandi Kardu came up with a
Speaker 1: fresh claim about the true nationality of President Muhammadu Buhari. Carnu,
Speaker 1: in his broadcast from the United Kingdom, said that neither
Speaker 1: dead Muhammadu Buhari nor his replacement, Jubil Al Sudani, is
Speaker 1: qualified to contest for Nigeria's presidential election. Nandikaru argued that
Speaker 1: being born on Nigerian soil was not enough to qualify
Speaker 1: one as a Nigerian citizen by birth unless the parents
Speaker 1: grandparents of such person is also born in Nigeria. The
Speaker 1: IPO B leader said that Buhari's father, Hardo Adamu, was
Speaker 1: a nomadic Fulani trader, a duk sellar from Nijei Republican
Speaker 1: later became a bodyguard in the Emir of Dara's palace,
Speaker 1: which made him to settle in Dara Katsena State, adding
Speaker 1: that he Hado was born in niger Republic, not Nigeria.
Speaker 1: Nandi Karnu vowed to continue his efforts to unmask djubral
Speaker 1: Aminu al Sudani, the Sudanese man who he had claimed
Speaker 1: is replaced the then President Buhari in the presidential villa
Speaker 1: in a video he posted on social media to wish
Speaker 1: his followers are happy twenty nineteen. Karnu, who went missing
Speaker 1: in September twenty seventeen and resurfaced in Israel in October
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen, said the worst days for the secessionist group
Speaker 1: were over. In the twenty nineteen promises to be appointed
Speaker 1: Year of Biafra Independence and in the video, Krnu Vouter
Speaker 1: insure that activities in Biafra Land will be grounded during
Speaker 1: the presidential election. He said, the unmasking of Jubil Aminu
Speaker 1: al Sudani, the fake Nigerian President, will continue unabated. By
Speaker 1: the time we are done with him and his handlers,
Speaker 1: Laggard will become truly ashamed of what he created. I
Speaker 1: would like to see Nigerians participate in elections where one
Speaker 1: of the names on the ballad paper is a dead man.
Speaker 1: This shame and humiliation is one that will never leave
Speaker 1: Nigeria as it heads ingloriously towards self destruction. We understand
Speaker 1: the enemy has announced yet another round of Fulani military
Speaker 1: invasion of our land in the name of Operation Python Dance,
Speaker 1: no doubt, to help facilitate the rigging of elections for
Speaker 1: Jibil al Sudani and the cronies of Fulani Kabal across Nigeria.
Speaker 1: What I said previously still stand and there is no
Speaker 1: going back. Chuku Okkabama is my witness that any reported
Speaker 1: shooting or killing of any Biafran by this Fulani Janjuid
Speaker 1: army of Nigeria will be avenged. He said. In December
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, then President Muhammadu Buhari personally spoke and said
Speaker 1: he's not the Djibbral from Sudan, that he's the real Buhari.
Speaker 1: Nigerians voted for. We are humans. I had some peopled
Speaker 1: Anos Pagani vol I hid them, so.
Speaker 2: I think you big.
Speaker 1: A Nambra State Command of the Nigeria Police Force has
Speaker 1: repelled the simultaneous sporadic heavy gun shooting in Oko and
Speaker 1: Equilobia when two separate groups of unknown gunment engaged men

Speaker 1: Local Government area in an early morning gun battle, and
Speaker 1: another group took over the Equilobia flyover Bridge in the
Speaker 1: Aguata local Government
