Barely 10 days after Israeli soldiers bombed the Holy Family Catholic Church in Gaza, Benjamin Netanyahu, the State
0:07
of Israel prime minister has said that Israel is now being portrayed as the enemy of Christians, stating that Israel
0:14
has a thriving Christian community, the only thriving Christian community in the broad radius of the Middle East, where
0:21
Christians are not tolerated, they're cherished, adding, "You can light Christmas trees in Nazareth, but in
0:28
Bethlehem, the birthplace place of Jesus. When Israel left and the Palestinian Authority came in, the
0:34
Christian majority shrank from 80% to under 20% because there was no more Israel to protect them. Though, Prime
0:42
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu did not mention the bombing of the Catholic Church in Gaza that led to the killing
0:48
of three persons and injuring to several people, including the parish priest. It could be recalled that the Israel
0:54
Defense Forces IDF action against the Christian holy place in Gaza sparked
0:59
global condemnations with the head of the Catholic Church Pope Leo I 14th in a
1:05
statement on Sunday July 20th 2025 while speaking after his anggeles prayer read
1:11
out the names of those killed in the incident and said, "I appeal to the international community to observe
1:18
humanitarian law and respect the obligation to protect civilians as well as well as the prohibition of collective
1:24
punishment of indiscriminate use of force and force displacement of the population. During a church event on
1:31
Sunday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu while speaking at the Day Stars together as one event in Jerusalem
1:38
with Pastor Paula White, leader of the White House faith office said, "Iran is
1:43
now being projected as the friend of the Americans." Word to word of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu speech as
1:50
transcribed and made available by the office of the Israel prime minister on Sunday reads below. Thank you Joanie.
1:58
Thank you Dayar. Thank you Paula. Thank you ambassadors and the many friends of Israel in the Christian world. This is
2:05
the city and the land where it all began. the Judeo-Christian tradition that promoted the belief in monotheism,
2:12
a single god that developed the idea of the sanctity of life, the sanctity of
2:17
individual life, the idea of freedom. In an ancient world that was swamped with
2:23
massive slavery to build these ancient empires, the Jewish people came out with the idea that slavery should be limited
2:29
and ultimately removed. This was revolutionary. The beginning of the idea
2:34
of freedom began in this land and that idea spread throughout the centuries and especially in modern times and changed
2:42
the world. It gives hope to the world. It gives meaning to our lives. It gives
2:48
a bond between the world's greatest democracy, the United States of America, and the world's vibrant democracy here
2:55
in Israel. And that's a partnership that is bonded in faith, in history, in
3:00
tradition. I had the great privilege of being invited to speak at the joint session of the American Congress. And I
3:08
look on the wall and I see a quote from Moses. That's our common tradition, our
3:13
common wellspring. We're immersed in the Bible. We live the Bible. We have a future because we have a past. And that
3:21
past is shared by millions, hundreds of millions around the world. And I want to
3:26
thank you on behalf of the people of Israel and the Jewish people for that enduring friendship which is the
3:32
mainstay of our present and future ability to live in a free, prosperous and peaceful world. But that bond is
3:39
being challenged today. It is being challenged today by a fanatic fundamentalism, an Islamist
3:45
fundamentalism that seeks to subjugate all Muslims that they view as infidels,
3:50
eradicate the American and obviously the Israeli presence in the Middle East. They call America the great Satan.
3:57
Israel is the small Satan perhaps, but it's a small state that's standing in
4:02
their way. And we fight them. We fight them together as we recently have with
4:08
President Trump's leadership and our partnership. And yet we see the effort to break down our bond in America and
4:14
other parts of the world. That partnership that promotes Judeo-Christian values, that protects in
4:21
Israel Christians as nowhere else in the Middle East. that truth is being reversed, put on its head by a campaign
4:27
of lies. Israel is now portrayed as the enemy of Christians and the enemies of
4:33
Christians are portrayed as the friends of the United States. Iran, a friend of
4:38
the United States, an innocent victim, the Muslim Brotherhood, who chanted
4:44
death to America alongside Iran. Friends of America, Hamas, these monsters. These
4:50
monsters who burned babies, raped our women, beheaded our men, and chant death to America, friends of America. Israel
4:58
has a thriving Christian community, the only thriving Christian community in the broad, broad radius of the Middle East,
5:05
where Christians are not tolerated, they're cherished. You can light Christmas trees in Nazareth. But in
5:12
Bethlehem, the birthplace of Jesus, when Israel left and the Palestinian authority came in, the Christian
5:19
majority shrank from 80% to under 20% because there was no more Israel to
5:24
protect them. We cherish our Christian friends. We protect the Christian holy
5:29
sites, not only the church of the holy seila, but in the Galilee, not only in
5:35
Nazareth, but in the Galilee, in Capernaam, where Jesus preached for 3 years. We uphold and cherish those
5:42
sites. So, Israel, the guardian of Christianity in the Middle East, is presented on American television by
5:49
purchased influences. It's presented as the enemy of Christianity. What folly,
5:54
what lies, what a travesty of truth. So, one of the things we have fought now in
6:00
the sevenfront war, we have an eighth front and that is the front and the battle for truth. And I can think of no
6:08
one who can carry this battle alongside with us. No one who can do it better than you on this channel than you,
6:15
Paula, and our many Christian friends. We must fight for our common values. We
6:20
must stand up for the truth. And by standing up for the truth, you stand up with Israel and you stand with the
6:27
Jewish people against this abomination of falsehoods. We can win this war exactly as we win the Sevenfront War.
6:35
and I thank you for your support. I want to address also the ambassadors who are here. Your countries have strong
6:42
Christian communities and a strong bond with us too. And I want to thank you for
6:47
your support and the many, many millions around the world who have voiced support for Israel during our great battles
6:53
here. We haven't finished, but we're winning and we'll continue to win. But
6:58
the main thing that I want to stress is the importance of winning the battle for truth. And that is a battle that we
7:05
fought even as we speak now. Israel is presented as though we are applying a campaign of starvation in Gaza. What a
7:13
bold-faced lie. There is no policy of starvation in Gaza and there is no
7:18
starvation in Gaza. We enable humanitarian aid throughout the duration of the war to enter Gaza. Otherwise,
7:26
there would be no Gazans. And what has interdicted the supply of humanitarian aid is one force, Hamas. Again, the
7:35
reverse of the truth. Hamas robs, steals this humanitarian aid, and then accuses
7:40
Israel of not supplying it. Well, we have enabled the amount required by
7:45
international law to come in. There are hundreds and hundreds of trucks loaded with tons. So far, we've supplied 1.9
7:53
million tons of food since the beginning of the war. Almost 2 million tons. And
7:58
now we have hundreds of trucks that are waiting on the Gazen side of the Karum Shalom crossing. And it's international
8:05
organizations, some of them very well intended. And it's the UN2 food that
8:11
they purchased. And we say, "Go ahead, deliver it." And they say, "We can't
8:17
because combat is going on." And we say yes where we're fighting we'll continue
8:23
to fight but there are safe corridors. You can bring the food to anywhere you want. That is not a problem. So we have
8:31
just announced that formally here are safe corridors. And the has no excuses
8:37
left. No excuses left. Stop lying. Stop finding excuses. Do what you have to do
8:43
and stop accusing Israel deliberately of this egregious falsehood. There is no starvation in Gaza, no policy of
8:51
starvation in Gaza, and I assure you that we have a commitment to achieve our war goals. We will continue to fight
8:58
till we achieve the release of our hostages and the destruction of Hamas's military and governing capabilities.
9:04
They shall be there no more. We shall not have any more of these massacres. We shall not have any more of these
9:11
monstrosities. We stand for human freedom and human life and that is not commensurate with
9:17
Hamas or with Iran or other Iranian proxies. We have fought this battle together. We shall win it together. And
9:25
I want to assure you that we have great faith in your faith and in our faith. We
9:30
have a common bond. It is strong. It is something that represents the vast majority of Americans and I would say
9:37
just about all Israelis and by the way Jews and non-Jews alike because we know that our standing together assures our
9:44
common future. So I want to thank you on behalf of the state of Israel for everything that you're doing and as the
9:51
saying goes for everything that you will do. Thank you all. Thank you very much.
10:02
bringing you the news in a more digital way. Royal Thai Army and the Cambodia
10:08
National Ministry of Defense have both denied firing the 10 projectiles that destroyed civilian houses and properties
10:14
at Emerald Triangle, a city in Lao on Thursday, just as both government
10:19
establishments confirmed early in the morning on Sunday that fighting continued through Saturday night to
10:25
Sunday morning night despite President Donald Trump of the United States. US
10:30
statement on Saturday that he has spoken on phone with both the prime minister of Cambodia and the acting prime minister
10:38
of Thailand asking the two parties to agree on immediate ceasefire and failure to do so. According to Trump, US will
10:46
not make any business deal with both countries. In his words, Trump said, "We
10:51
happen to be by coincidence currently dealing on trade with both countries,
10:56
but do not want to make any deal with either country if they are fighting, and I have told them so." The call with
11:03
Thailand is being made momentarily. The call with Cambodia has ended, but expect a call back regarding war stoppage and
11:10
ceasefire based on what Thailand has to say. I am trying to simplify a complex
11:16
situation. Many people are being killed in this war. But it very much reminds me of the conflict between Pakistan and
11:23
India which was brought to a successful halt. The Lao government had on Friday
11:29
reported that 10 bombs were found having been fired into civilian areas and affecting local residents in the Emerald
11:35
Triangle, a town in Lao that borders both Lao, Thailand, and Cambodia. A
11:41
statement from the Lao People's Armed Forces on Saturday afternoon refuted earlier media reports claiming clashes
11:48
between the Lao People's Armed Forces and Cambodian armed personnel, describing the reports as untrue,
11:54
denying the shelling in Lao. The Royal Thailand Army in a statement on Saturday
12:00
said that the Royal Thai Army clarifies case of artillery shells landing in Lao
12:05
PDR territory in Emerald Triangle area. confirms investigation found they were
12:10
not Thai forces ammunition. According to news reports, on the 24th of July 2025,
12:17
at approximately 940 hours, 10 artillery shells landed in the territory of the
12:22
Lao People's Democratic Republic, Lao PDR, in the Emerald Triangle area, which
12:28
is the border junction between Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia, without clear confirmation as to which side the shells
12:35
belong to. And preliminarily there were no reports of casualties or property damage from the incident. Major General
12:43
Winintai Sububri army spokesperson issued a clarification that following
12:48
factf finding investigations and coordination with security agencies of the Lao PDR. It is confirmed that they
12:55
were definitely not shells from the Thai military side. And the Royal Thai Army has confidence in its capability to
13:02
control weapon usage effectively, appropriately, proportionately, and strictly within international rules of
13:08
engagement. However, in the recent period, it has often been found that the
13:13
Cambodian side has been using long range fire support weapons to attack numerous
13:19
civilian targets throughout the past 2 days, which appears to be intentional and deliberate use of such weapons
13:25
against targets other than military objectives, such as using weapons against historical sites, aiming to
13:31
significantly mislead the international community against the Thai side. The Royal Thai Army confirms that the Thai
13:38
side has strict measures for controlling weapon usage, particularly in areas adjacent to the border to prevent impact
13:45
on civilians or areas unrelated to military operations. The Royal Thai Army
13:51
will continue to coordinate closely with the Lao PDR side to maintain positive relations between the two countries. The
13:58
Royal Thai Army Public Relations Center Army spokesperson team stated this on the 26th of July 2025.
14:06
In a swift reaction, the Cambodia Ministry of National Defense in a statement also on Saturday said, "The
14:14
Ministry of National Defense of the Kingdom of Cambodia categorically rejects and condemns in the strongest
14:20
terms the false and malicious accusation by Thailand that Cambodia deliberately launched projectiles into Lashian
14:26
territory. This baseless allegation reflects a disturbing pattern of deceit by the Thai military. First fabricating
14:34
lies to justify its unprovoked aggression against Cambodia and now seeking to manipulate international
14:40
opinion by undermining Cambodia's reputation. Such irresponsible rhetoric
14:45
is not only patently false but dangerously inflammatory, particularly as the Lao authorities have neither
14:51
concluded their investigation nor issued any such claim. Cambodia demands that
14:56
Thailand immediately cease its deliberate disinformation campaign, which merely serves to deflect attention
15:02
from its own flagrant violations of international law. Unlike Thailand,
15:08
Cambodia has not and will not violate the sovereignty of any neighboring state, including the Lao People's
15:13
Democratic Republic. Cambodia reiterates its unwavering respect for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of
15:20
all nations and affirms its readiness to extend full cooperation to the Lao People's Army to investigate the
15:27
incident in a responsible, professional and transparent manner. Lieutenant General Mey Sakita under Secretary of
15:34
State and spokesperson of the Ministry of National Defense of the Kingdom of Cambodia stated this on Saturday July
15:41
26th 2025. On Sunday early morning, the Royal Thailand Army issued a report and stated
15:48
that today the 27th of July 2025, Major General Winisubi, Army spokesperson,
15:56
addressed the latest situation, stating that Cambodia continues its military activities by employing long range
16:02
weapons and firing into Thai territory. Continuous clashes have occurred at multiple points along the front lines
16:10
with numerous long- range support weapons landing outside their intended military target areas in Surin province.
16:17
Thailand therefore finds it necessary to conduct military operations in response to the continued firing of long range
16:24
support weapons such as rockets and artillery that persist in targeting Thai territory to prevent civilian casualties
16:30
or losses. Yesterday, the 26th of July 2025, at approximately 15:30 hours,
16:38
Cambodian artillery shells targeted the subdist healthpromoting hospital at Ban
16:43
Sam village 3, South Hongchai subdist, Canthac district, CSA Ket province,
16:50
causing severe damage to the building structure. However, there were no fatalities or injuries as medical
16:57
personnel had previously evacuated patients from the facility. Furthermore,
17:02
intelligence reports indicate potential deployment of high-performance weapons systems such as PHL03,
17:10
Room 70, and BM21 that may provide additional support to Cambodian forces.
17:16
This may reflect Cambodia's stance, which Thailand cannot yet trust. According to the latest situation,
17:23
Cambodian forces have not ceased their attacks using all forms of weaponry against Thai forces. The Royal Thai Army
17:30
will operate at full capacity to counter this aggression and reaffirms its continued focus on military targets that
17:37
pose military threats and endanger the lives and property of our fellow citizens only within the appropriate
17:43
framework of international rules of engagement to protect and maintain sovereignty to the best of our ability.
17:49
The Royal Thai Army Public Relations Center Army spokesperson team stated this in a press statement on the 27th of
17:57
July 2025. A few minutes later, the Cambodia Ministry of National Defense reacted and
18:04
stated that the Ministry of National Defense of the Kingdom of Cambodia categorically rejects and condemns in
18:10
the strongest terms the baseless and irresponsible accusation by Thailand that Cambodia initiated hostilities.
18:18
This false claim is nothing more than a desperate attempt to shift attention away from Thailand's own flagrant and
18:24
repeated violations of Cambodia's sovereignty and international law. The facts are indisputable. It was Thailand
18:31
that launched the first wave of brutal attacks against Cambodian territory. On the 27th of July 2025 at 2:00, Thai
18:40
forces shelled V entry location. By 2:30 they expanded the bombardment to Tarowl
18:47
Ponom 333 and Ponkamau and at 450 additional shelling struck Tam and Tom
18:53
and Tar Krabby. At 6:00, Thai ground troops invaded Ponamong Kamau and SES
19:00
and V entry location followed by a large-scale incursion at 6:30 involving
19:05
tanks and ground troops into multiple areas including V entry five macara
19:11
ponam kam and anes. In a separate statement, the spokesperson of the Cambodia Ministry of
19:18
National Defense added that as of now, violations from the Thai side continue
19:23
and have escalated beyond the initial incidents. Since 5:00 a.m. yesterday in
19:28
the operational zone of military region 4, Thai forces began launching continuous and intense attacks toward
19:35
Boss SBOV. These escalations include the following incidents. At 10:40 a.m., Thai aircraft
19:43
dropped two bombs on the road leading to Priyoviah Temple. At 11:56 a.m., a Thai
19:50
aircraft dropped a cluster bomb on Panam Kamau. At 2:30 p.m., Thailand launched a
19:56
ground assault using armored vehicles in the V in area. From 2:30 p.m. onward,
20:02
the situation gradually deescalated until 1000 p.m. At 2:00 a.m. midnight,
20:08
Thai troops began a new wave of attacks on Cambodia, targeting the V in area. At
20:15
2:30 a.m., Thai forces launched additional strikes on Tarav and Ponam
20:20
Kamau using surveillance and combat drones. At 4:50 a.m. this morning,
20:26
Thailand began artillery shelling into the territory around the Tarmon and Tar Krabby temples. At 6:00 a.m., Thai
20:34
forces began advancing ground troops into the Panom Kamau area. Across all
20:39
conflict zones from Tarmon Temple to the Mombay area, Thailand has aggressively
20:44
used heavy artillery, cluster bombs via drones, and air strikes against Cambodian territory. Lieutenant General
20:52
Mey Sakita under Secretary of State and spokesperson of the Ministry of National Defense of the Kingdom of Cambodia
20:59
stated this in a statement on Sunday July 27th 2025.
21:04
We have reported that Asia is apparently becoming a continent of war as hope of achieving peace in the continent
21:10
appeared slim since 2023 when fresh wars broke out in the Middle East Asia after
21:15
Hamas attacked Israel forcing Israel to launch a multiffront wars in Gaza,
21:21
Lebanon, Syria, Iran, and Yemen. This occurred as Russia that has parts of its territory in Asia had in 2022 launched a
21:29
full-scale war against its neighboring European country Ukraine, which the multiple wars have led to millions of
21:36
deaths with many in the world expecting an end soon. But while many in the world
21:41
hoped for permanent end to the deadly wars, another fresh war broke out during the week on Thursday in the Southeast
21:48
Asia between Cambodia and Thailand after soldiers from Royal Thai Army of 14th
21:54
Infantry Battalion on Wednesday stepped on a landmine at Huibon Chong and Ma Nam
22:00
Yuan district, Yuban Rajasthani province within the Thai Cambodia border area
22:05
causing severe injury to one Thailand soldier While four other soldiers
22:11
sustained some level of injuries, making the acting prime minister of Thailand,
22:16
Fam Way, to recalled the country's ambassador from Panom Pen and expelled
22:21
Cambodia's ambassador to Thailand, leading to heavy military confrontations starting next day morning, which
22:28
Cambodian news agency on Saturday reported that tens of thousands of innocent Cambodians, including children,
22:35
pregnant women, and the elderly, have been forced who flee the military aggression along the border areas
22:42
including Priyha Odaminci and Perset. And the Royal Thai Army also on Saturday
22:49
released a video of its men hoisting the Thai flag at a location and stated that the Thai national flag was raised at top
22:57
Fu Makua following Thai military operations to assault and seize the Fu Makua area where it said the Cambodian
23:04
forces had been heavily positioned. adding that the area was successfully captured during the evening of war on
23:10
Friday. While the prime minister of Thailand, Paong Tan Shinawad, who is currently on suspension, blamed the
23:17
cause of the war on alleged powerful criminals in Cambodia, saying the conflict stems from the Thai
23:23
government's efforts to crack down on call center crimes, dismantling a network of immense financial interests
23:30
linked to influential groups in Cambodia. Notwithstanding, the prime minister of Cambodia, Sam Mova Borva Han
23:38
Manet, in a statement called on Cambodians not to attack businesses and citizens of Thailand living in Cambodia,
23:46
adding that after the prime minister of Malaysia and the rotating chairman of Azian, Anoir Ibrahim, intervened in the
23:52
matter on Thursday, both countries agreed to a ceasefire slated to start on Friday by 12 a.m. But an hour after
24:00
Malaysia prime minister told him that Thailand has agreed to the ceasefire, Thailand rescended its decision and
24:07
continued military actions against Cambodia and the Cambodia Ministry of National Defense spokesperson, Left
24:14
Tenant General Mey Sakita in an operational updates on Saturday said that Thailand has continued to expand

condemns the Cambodian side for the incident involving the coveret placement of landmines in the border area of Chong
28:07

28:27
Battalion who encountered a landmine at Hua, Chong, and Ma Nam Yuan district,

28:38
incident resulted in injuries to five Royal Thai Army personnel with one soldier sustaining severe injuries to
28:45
his right leg from stepping on the explosive device and four others experiencing chest tightness and tinitus
28:51
from the blast concussion. They are now being treated at Nam UN hospital. Tomorrow, General Panaklupic,
28:59
Chief of Army will visit the area to monitor the situation and provide moral support to the injured personnel. He has
29:06
ordered military forces from the first army area, the second army area and
29:11
various units to prepare for operations under the chakraong for wanet plan upon

29:22
violates international humanitarian principles and international agreements occurring within the Kingdom of
29:28
Thailand's territory due to actions by the Cambodian side and calls upon the Cambodian side to take responsibility
29:35
for this incident which constitutes a serious threat to peace and stability in the border region between the two
29:41
countries. The Royal Thai Army affirms its commitment to utilizing all available mechanisms to take appropriate
29:48

Thailand keeps expanding its military including infantry forces, heavy weaponry and fighter jets. Thai forces
30:24
launched indiscriminate attacks that targeted no specific objectives and destroyed civilian infrastructure,
30:30
including schools, villages, markets, health facilities, gas stations,
30:36
temples, and world heritage sites. These attacks have also harmed innocent
30:41
civilians, children, women, and the elderly who are currently at serious
30:46
risk. This constitutes a violation of international law and the Geneva Conventions. Two, please take note that
30:54
Thai troops employing F-16 fighter jets rained bombs on civilian settlements,
31:00
killing and injuring several civilians. In Odomini province, five Cambodian
31:06
soldiers and eight civilians were killed and 21 Cambodian soldiers and 50 civilians were injured while around
31:13
35,000 people in four provinces. Odaminci, Priyha, Perset, and Bante
31:20
Mincchi were forced to leave their homes as a result of these attacks. Three, the
31:25
Thai side continues to escalate by aggressively deploying troops to attack multiple Cambodian targets, showing no
31:32
signs of deescalation. At the same time, Thailand has declared martial law in Trat and Chanthuri
31:39
provinces and has begun expanding its military forces and armaments under the operation Chakrabong's Bouvanath plan.
31:47
Four, Thailand has deliberately launched unprovoked attacks against Cambodia and is increasingly violating Cambodian
31:54
sovereignty while continuing to make exaggerated and unfounded accusations against Cambodia. This clearly reveals a
32:01
premeditated plan to invade Cambodia. Five, the Ministry of National Defense
32:07
of Cambodia calls on the international community, including the United Nations
32:12
Security Council, Azian, international partners, and diplomatic missions to
32:18
strongly condemn the brazen and reckless aggression against Cambodia. Six, we
32:23
call on the international community to take urgent measures to prevent further troop deployments aimed at attacking
32:29
Cambodia, to ensure that Thailand respects the full territorial integrity of Cambodia, and to hold Thailand
32:36
accountable for its violations of the United Nations Charter, the Geneva Conventions, and the Azian Treaty of
32:42
Amity and Cooperation. Seven, Cambodia remains firmly committed to resolving the issue peacefully in
32:49
accordance with international law while reserving our right to self-defense under Article 51 of the United Nations
32:56
Charter and to defend our people, sovereignty, and territorial integrity to the fullest extent against Thailand's
33:03
aggression and violent acts. Eight. Thailand's incursions have expanded to other provinces of Cambodia, including
33:10
five artillery attacks in Edmma, commun district, Persid province. In the fourth
33:17
zone, Thailand also launched attacks in three locations. Vintry, Tathav, and
33:23
Chong Ti on the morning of July 26th. Nine. Cambodia once again condemns the
33:30
aggression and premeditated provocations by Thailand. Cambodia reaffirms our
33:35
commitment to maintaining peace and security, but nevertheless reserves the right to defend our sovereignty as a
33:40
victim of the This violations. We assert our principle of targeting only military
33:46
objectives on the Thai side, ensuring that civilians remain unharmed. 10. Thus
33:52
far, the Cambodian Army has remained resolute and unwavering in its defense of Cambodia's territorial integrity,
33:59
standing firm against the threats and coercion from Thailand. The Cambodia National Defense stated, the Cambodia
34:06
Ministry of Information also in a statement on Saturday stated that Thailand is using information
34:13
manipulation warfare strategies to fabricate pretexts for its armed aggression of Cambodian territory while
34:19
falsely portraying itself as the victim. We would like to inform our fellow Cambodian citizens that the Thai media
34:26
has colluded with the Thai government and military to fabricate and disseminate fake news aimed at
34:32
demonizing Cambodia in order to create a pretext for their own armed invasion and
34:37
violation of Cambodia's territorial integrity. Both the Thai government, its
34:42
military, and media outlets have employed deceptive tactics to provoke incidents according to their
34:48
premeditated invasion plans. The Thai military's armed incursion was carefully
34:53
planned and prepared long in advance. The blueprint of Thailand's military aggression is clear, beginning with a
35:00
preemptive attack on Cambodian forces, followed by shamelessly placing all blame on Cambodia without any sense of
35:07
remorse or accountability. Cambodia tells the truth. Thailand lies
35:12
to the world. Cambodia has no interest in invading Thailand. Euro News reported
35:18
that as the conflict between the two countries enters its third day, at least 30 people have been killed and thousands
35:25
forced to flee their homes. Cambodia's UN ambassador, Chikio, called for an
35:31
immediate unconditional ceasefire with Thailand on Friday after the dispute between the two countries ended its
35:38
third day. The UN Security Council held an emergency meeting behind closed doors
35:44
late Friday in New York with all 15 members calling on the parties to deescalate, show restraint, and resolve
35:51
the dispute peacefully. We also called for the peaceful solution to the dispute, said Chio. He responded to
35:58
accusations that Cambodia attacked Thailand, asking how a small country with no air force could attack a much
36:05
larger country with an army three times its size. stressing, "We do not do that." Thailand's UN ambassador left the
36:13
meeting without stopping to talk to reporters. But Thailand's acting prime minister, Fam Way, said Friday that
36:20
Cambodia may be guilty of war crimes due to the deaths of civilians and damage caused to a hospital. He said Thailand
36:28
had exercised the utmost restraint and patience in the face of provocations and aggression from Cambodia. Meanwhile, the
36:36
Thailand Ministry of Foreign Affairs in a statement on Saturday evening stated that Ministry of Foreign Affairs wishes
36:43
to inform that a few moments ago, acting Prime Minister Fam Wchayoi had a
36:48
conversation with President Trump who requested that Thailand and Cambodia agree to a ceasefire immediately. Acting
36:56
Prime Minister thanked President Trump for his concern and expressed that Thailand agrees in principle to have a
37:02
ceasefire in place. However, Thailand would like to see sincere intention from
37:08
the Cambodian side. Acting Prime Minister thus requested President Trump
37:13
to convey to the Cambodian side that Thailand wants to convene a bilateral dialogue as soon as possible to bring
37:19
forth measures and procedures for the ceasefire and the eventual peaceful resolution of the conflict. It would be
37:26
recalled that on June 26th, 2025, the Kingdom of Cambodia had stated in its
37:32
government website that Cambodian Prime Minister Han Manet raised concerns about
37:37
the lack of clarity and inconsistency between the Thai prime minister and the Thai military regarding the closure and
37:43
reopening of border checkpoints with Cambodia. Sandap noted that at times the
37:49
border was completely closed only to be reopened in certain areas. However, the
37:55
reopened checkpoints permitted only limited movement barring general public crossing while Thailand shifted the
38:01
blame to Cambodia for initiating the closure. The premier spoke on Thursday,
38:07
June 26th at the graduation ceremony at the police academy of Cambodia in Kandal
38:12
Province. The premier explained that on the 24th of June 2025, the Thai prime
38:18
minister publicly announced a full border closure with Cambodia, citing the United Nations reports alleging that
38:25
Cambodia was a hub for online criminal activity. Exceptions were made only for
38:30
students and critically ill patients. Thai military forces began implementing the closure on that same day. Yet later
38:38
in the evening, the spokesperson for Thailand's Ministry of Foreign Affairs came forward, stating that Thailand had
38:45
not officially closed its borders. Then on the morning of the 25th of June, Thai
38:51
military personnel reopened some border gates for the purpose of taking photos, though the restrictions on crossber
38:57
travel remained in effect. Cambodia does not play such covered games. If we act,
39:03
we take responsibility. We already made our stance clear. If you, Thailand,
39:09
close the border, we will close it indefinitely until you officially reopen it. If we continue to react to your
39:16
inconsistent moves, then we will never know when this will end," the premier underscored. Sandek Thapade reaffirmed
39:23
that he is currently awaiting individuals in Thailand who will hold genuine power and adopt a clear and
39:29
consistent stance with whom Cambodia can reliably engage in good faith in order
39:34
to seek joint solutions that benefit both nations and their peoples. A Malaysiabased news media, The Star,
39:42
reported that Malaysia will continue engaging Cambodia and Thailand to achieve a ceasefire in the ongoing
39:48
border clashes, says Datuk Seri Anoir Ibrahim, the prime minister of Malaysia.
39:54
The prime minister said that although both leaders had initially agreed to a ceasefire, fighting still persisted
40:00
along the disputed border. Anois said he has told foreign minister Datuk Seri
40:06
Muhammad Hassan to contact his Thai and Cambodian counterparts for talks. Maybe
40:12
I will directly contact him to at least stop the shooting and continue the negotiations said Anoir. Anoir said that
40:19
during his initial call to the two leaders they had thanked him for facilitating talks. Even though they
40:25
agreed to it, there is still shooting at the border, added Anoir. Anoir on
40:31
Friday, July 25th, stated that Thailand and Cambodia had agreed to a ceasefire,
40:37
but requested some time as their troops were already stationed at the border and needed time to withdraw. Both countries
40:44
have accused each other of starting the military clashes and have downgraded the diplomatic relations since Wednesday,
40:50
July 23rd. Tensions between Thailand and Cambodia have been escalating since May
40:57
28th following a deadly incident in the Priyhir area that claimed the life of a
41:02
Cambodian soldier. The two countries have been at odds for decades over various undermarketed points along their
41:09
817 km long border. United States US
41:14
President Donald Trump who is currently in Scotland said while at a golf course on Saturday that he just spoke to the
41:22
prime minister of Cambodia relative to stopping the war with Thailand. I am
41:27
calling the acting prime minister of Thailand right now to likewise request a ceasefire and end to the war which is
41:34
currently raging. We happen to be by coincidence currently dealing on trade
41:40
with both countries but do not want to make any deal with either country if they are fighting and I have told them
41:47
so. The call with Thailand is being made momentarily. The call with Cambodia has
41:53
ended but expect a call back regarding war stoppage and ceasefire based on what Thailand has to say. I am trying to
42:01
simplify a complex situation. Many people are being killed in this war. But
42:06
it very much reminds me of the conflict between Pakistan and India which was brought to a successful halt. Prime
42:13
Minister of Thailand, Pyong Tan Shinowat, who is currently on suspension in a press statement, said that I would
42:20
like to emphasize and reaffirm the government's statement that Cambodia's actions constitute a severe war crime in
42:27
violation of peaceful principles under the framework of international law and the humanitarian principles that
42:33
Thailand has consistently upheld. The escalation of violence is something the
42:38
government does not desire and has made every effort to prevent. However, when the opposing side
42:44
initiated firing first, it became necessary to respond decisively and appropriately. Although I am unable to
42:52
perform my duties in person, I have been closely monitoring the situation and receiving reports, doing everything
42:59
within my capacity. I wish to send my encouragement and concern to all
43:04
officials and fellow citizens along the border. I believe that every mechanism of the government is fully prepared to
43:10
support the work of security forces and care for our fellow citizens to the fullest extent. This includes on-site
43:17
visits by the cabinet and the establishment of compensation guidelines for those who have lost their lives or
43:23
been injured. At the same time, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has utilized
43:28
every channel of communication with the international community to clarify the facts regarding the cause of the
43:34
conflict, which stems from the Thai government's efforts to crack down on call center crimes, dismantling a
43:41
network of immense financial interests linked to influential groups in Cambodia. This is to protect Thai
43:47
citizens and those of many other countries affected by this operation. I believe this may be the primary reason
43:54
for Cambodia's anger, or perhaps not. Additionally, the Ministry of Foreign
43:59
Affairs has presented evidence of Cambodia's unjust actions, including violations of treaties, international
44:06
law, human rights principles, and severe inhumity, such as the illicit planting
44:12
of landmines, initiating attacks, and targeting civilian sites such as hospitals and homes, resulting in
44:19
numerous Thai casualties and injuries. These points have been raised on international platforms as well. In this
44:26
situation, Thai people must unite and stand together as one. We will not yield
44:31
to such despicable tactics and nothing can overcome the unity of the Thai people. Regarding proposals from various
44:38
countries to end the violence, I believe the government is ready to listen. But the key lies in the attitude and
44:45
sincerity which so far we have not seen from Cambodia in this matter. On behalf
44:51
of the Ministry of Culture, I express my boundless gratitude for the gracious compassion of his majesty the king and
44:58
her majesty the queen who have shown concern for the military personnel and citizens in the Thai Cambodia border
45:05
provinces. Their majesties have graciously taken all those who lost their lives or were injured in the
45:11
unrest in these areas under their royal patronage. Bringing immense joy and gratitude to the families of the
45:17
deceased and injured as well as to tie subjects across the country under the
45:22
mission of the Ministry of Culture. I have urgently ordered two key tasks.
45:27
One, ceremonial funerals granted by royal decree. As the agency responsible
45:32
for conducting funerals granted by royal decree, we will carry out the tasks in accordance with the royal instructions
45:39
from the bureau of the royal household with utmost dignity and adherence to traditional royal customs. two other
45:46
assigned support missions from the provinces such as caring for the injured, providing essential supplies
45:52
and necessities, collaborating with relevant agencies to provide psychological support for those
45:58
affected, and deploying personnel to assess damages in accordance with the ministry's responsibilities such as
46:04
historical sites in the area to evaluate damage and secure funding for restoration and repairs moving forward.
46:12
First and foremost, I would like to reiterate Deputy Prime Minister Fam's yesterday statement that Cambodia act of
46:18
aggression constitutes a grave war crime that violates the principles of peaceful resolution under international law and
46:25
humanitarian principles, which Thailand has always upheld. However, the
46:31
government does not condone violence and has made every effort to avoid it. But when the Cambodian side initiates the
46:38
use of arms, it is necessary for us to response in an appropriate manner. Prime
46:43
Minister of Cambodia Sammova Theapade Han Manet says while clarifying
46:49
Cambodia's stance on the ceasefire proposed by Anoir Ibrahim the prime minister of Malaysia and rotating chair
46:56
of Aian that given some unclear reporting in various international news outlets regarding Cambodia's position on
47:03
the ceasefire proposed by his excellency Anoir Ibrahim prime minister of Malaysia
47:09
and the rotating Aian chair. I am obliged to clarify as follows. Yesterday
47:14
evening on the 24th of July 2025, His Excellency Anoir Ibrahim, Prime Minister
47:21
of Malaysia and the rotating AAN chair requested a phone conversation with me to discuss the fighting between the
47:27
Cambodian and Thai militaries along the border. He expressed his concern over the conflict and his desire for an
47:34
immediate ceasefire to pave way for a resolution between the two sides. I made
47:39
it clear to his excellency Anoir Ibrahim that Cambodia agreed with his proposal for a ceasefire because Cambodia did not
47:47
initiate this fighting. An initial response I received from his excellency Anoir Ibrahim after he spoke with his
47:54
excellency Fam Wchayoi, acting prime minister of Thailand was that the Thai
47:59
side had agreed to his proposal for a ceasefire setting 12 a.m. on the 24th of
48:04
July 2025 as the time for both sides to cease the fighting. However, it is
48:10
regrettable that just over an hour later, the Thai side informed that they had reversed their position from
48:16
agreeing to the ceasefire at 12:00 a.m. on the 24th of July, 2025 to not
48:22
agreeing and waiting for a later date. His Excellency Anoir Ibrahim is well aware of this situation. Therefore, the
48:29
key to resolving the current armed conflict between Thailand and Cambodia is the genuine willingness of the Thai
48:36
side to accept a ceasefire, which is the first step towards finding further solutions between the two countries.
48:43
Even though there is currently fighting between the Cambodian and Thai armies at the border, I appeal to all Cambodian
48:49
citizens to maintain their morality and dignity and to avoid discrimination or any actions that could affect the Royal
48:56
Thai embassy in Cambodia, Thai companies, and Thai citizens living in Cambodia. For Cambodian citizens who are
49:04
living, working, or studying in Thailand and may be facing pressure from discrimination and wish to return to
49:10
Cambodia, please come back to our country. If you need assistance, please contact the Royal Embassy of Cambodia in
49:17
Bangkok or the Consulate General of Cambodia in SA Kaio Province in Thailand. Sincere thanks to our
49:24
Cambodian compatriots for coming together in large numbers for the blood donation. Responding to the heartfelt
49:30
appeal of H Dr. Pik Chan on the evening of July 24th. As a result of the blood
49:36
donation drive, we received 2,117 units of blood. In addition, 9,336
49:44
individuals registered via QR code to be able to donate later. These results
49:50
demonstrate the humanitarian spirit and solidarity of the Cambodian people, showing strong support for the potential
49:56
needs of our heroes on the front lines and displaced people in Oda Minchi and Priya Vhier provinces.
