I earned my degree online at Arizona State University. I chose to get my degree at ASU because I knew that I'd

get a quality education. They were recognized for excellence and that I would be prepared for the workforce upon
0:13
graduating. To be associated with ASU both as a student and alum, it makes me
0:19
extremely proud. And having experienced the program, I know now that I'm set up for success. Learn more at

0:33
Assembly slated for September 2025, the president of France, Emanuel Macarron on
0:39
Thursday issued a statement and said that France will recognize the state of Palestine at the UN coming meeting of
0:45
heads of states as a way to put an end to the war in Gaza so that the civilian populations in the Palestinian city can
0:53
be rescued. also describing the move as France's historical commitment to a just and lasting peace in the Middle East.
1:00
This the prime minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu within an hour issued a counter press statement and said that
1:06
the state of Israel condemned the decision of France president to recognize the state of Palestine
1:12
stressing that such move by France rewards terror and risks creating another Iran proxy that will be a launch
1:19
pad to annihilate Israel. According to the president of France, Emanuel
1:24
Macarron, true to its historic commitment to a just and lasting peace in the Middle East, I have decided that
1:30
France will recognize the state of Palestine. I will make the solemn announcement at the United Nations
1:36
General Assembly next September. The urgency is today for the war in Gaza to
1:41
end and the civilian population to be rescued. Peace is possible. There is an
1:47
immediate ceasefire, the release of all hostages, and massive humanitarian aid to the people of Gaza. We must also
1:54
guarantee the demilitarization of Hamas, secure and rebuild Gaza. At last, it is
2:00
necessary to build the state of Palestine, ensure its viability, and allow that by accepting its
2:06
demilitarization and fully acknowledging Israel, it participates in the safety of everyone in the Middle East. There is no
2:13
alternative. The French want peace in the Middle East. It is up to us, the French, together with Israelis, the
2:20
Palestinians, our European and international partners, to demonstrate that it is possible. In light of the
2:27
commitments that the president of the Palestinian Authority made to me, I wrote to him my determination to move
2:33
forward. Trust, clarity, and commitment. We will win peace, the French president
2:39
stated in a swift reaction. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reacted and
2:44
said, "We strongly condemn President Mran's decision to recognize a Palestinian state next to Tel Aviv in
2:50
the wake of the October 7th massacre." Such a move rewards terror and risks
2:56
creating another Iranian proxy, just as Gaza became. A Palestinian state in
3:01
these conditions would be a launchpad to annihilate Israel, not to live in peace beside it. Let's be clear, the
3:09
Palestinians do not seek a state alongside Israel. They seek a state instead of Israel. Meanwhile, it would
3:16
be recalled that Daily Saba News Media on May 28th, 2025 reported that
3:21
Indonesian President Proou Subanto said he would consider diplomatic ties with
3:27
Israel only if it recognized a Palestinian state, speaking during talks with French President Emanuel Macarron
3:33
in Jakarta. Indonesia, the world's most populous Muslim majority nation, has no
3:39
formal ties with Israel and has consistently called for a two-state solution to the decadesl long conflict.
3:46
On various occasions, I have said that Indonesia sees the two-state solution and the freedom of Palestine is the only
3:53
way to achieve the true peace, he told the news conference. I also emphasized
3:58
that we must acknowledge and guarantee Israel's rights as a sovereign country that must be paid attention to and
4:04
guaranteed safety. Indonesia has stated that once Israel recognizes Palestine,
4:10
Indonesia is ready to recognize Israel and open the diplomatic relationship. In
4:15
a joint statement, France and Indonesia called for progress on mutual recognition between Israel and the
4:22
Palestinians at an international conference meant to resurrect the idea of a two-state solution next month, June
4:29
2025, which Paris will co-chair. The conference should restore a political
4:36
prospect of a peaceful settlement of this conflict which should allow for an irreversible path toward the realization
4:42
of a Palestinian state and mutual recognition between Israel and Palestine. They said support for the
4:49
Palestinian cause runs high in Indonesia and the issue regularly prompts protests. In 2023, FIFA stripped
4:58
Indonesia as the under20 World Cup hosts after some prominent politicians called for Israel to be kicked out of the
5:04
tournament and refused to host its team. On the other hand, Al Jazzer on the 18th
5:10
of July 2024 reported that Israel's parliament has passed a resolution that
5:15
overwhelmingly rejected the establishment of a Palestinian state. Israeli media reported the resolution
5:22
passed in the Knesset with 68 votes in favor and just nine against it early on Thursday. It said that a Palestinian
5:30
state would pose an existential danger to the state of Israel and its citizens,
5:35
perpetuate the Israeli Palestinian conflict and destabilize the region. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's
5:42
coalition with farright parties co-sponsored the resolution. Opposition leader Y lapid center left party left
5:49
the session to avoid supporting the statement despite previously saying he favored a two-state solution. The Times
5:56
of Israel newspaper reported Mustapa Barguti the secretary general of the
6:02
Palestinian National Initiative slammed the passing of the resolution. No
6:07
Zionist party from both the government and the opposition voted against the resolution. He wrote on X. This
6:14
resolution represents a rejection of peace with Palestinians and an official declaration of the death of the Oslo
6:20
agreement. Barguti posted the Oslo Accords, which were first signed between
6:26
Palestinian and Israeli leaders in 1993, called for a viable and sovereign
6:31
Palestinian state living side by side with an Israeli state. But Israel has
6:36
continued to adopt policies such as building illegal settlements on Palestinian lands across the occupied
6:42
West Bank and a complete blockade of Gaza. Palestinian Authority official
6:47
Hussein al-Shik condemned the resolution on social media saying the Knesset's rejection confirms the racism of the
6:55
occupying state and its disregard for international law and international legitimacy and its insistence on the
7:01
approach and policy of perpetuating the occupation forever. Jordan's Ministry of
7:06
Foreign Affairs said the resolution's approval was a dangerous violation of international law. Israel's continued
7:14
efforts to deny the Palestinians an alienable right to their independent and sovereign state along the lines of June
7:21
4th, 1967 with occupy Jerusalem as its capital does not bring security and peace in the
7:27
region read a statement citing the ministry's spokesperson Sufian al-Quda.
7:32
The Times of Israel quoted the resolution as saying, "It will only be a matter of a short time until Hamas takes
7:39
over the Palestinian state and turns it into a radical Islamic terror base, working in coordination with the
7:45
Iranian-led axis to eliminate the state of Israel." It added that a Palestinian
7:50
state at this time would be a reward for terrorism and will only encourage Hamas and its supporters to see this as a
7:57
victory. Referring to the Hamasled attacks on October 7th in southern Israel that triggered the current
8:03
conflict. The decision however is not new for the Knesset which has previously
8:08
rejected Palestinian statethood. A growing number of countries have recognized Palestinian statethood,
8:15
including Spain, Slovenia, Norway, Ireland, and others. The resolution
8:20
comes as Netanyahu is expected to address the United States Congress next week in Washington DC, which has caused
8:28
divisions among Democratic Party lawmakers who have spoken out against Israel's conduct in its war on Gaza. On
8:35
Wednesday, United Nations Secretary General Antonio Gutirez said that Israel's policy in the occupied West
8:42
Bank was dooming any prospect of a two-state solution. Through administrative and legal steps, Israel
8:49
is changing the geography of the West Bank, Gutirez said in a statement read by his chief of staff, Courtney Ratray,
8:56
during a meeting of the UN Security Council. Recent developments are driving
9:01
a stake through the heart of any prospect for a two-state solution. He said, "We must change course. All
9:08
settlement activity must cease immediately." The UN chief added that the settlements were a flagrant
9:14
violation of international law and an obstacle to peace with Palestinians.

14:48
when he was discovered by WWE Hall of Famers Jack and Jerry Brisco. In 1977,
14:56
Hogan began training with Hiro Matsuda, who intentionally broke Hogan's lower leg just to see if he was passionate
15:03
enough to return to training in the ring or would instead return to playing bass guitar. A year later on August 10th,
15:10
1977, Hogan had his first match against Brian Blair in Fort Meyers, Florida for
15:18
Championship Wrestling from Florida. Hogan competed under a mask as Super Destroyer in Florida and then teamed

17:24
full-time sports entertainment days behind him and started a career as a television star on the syndicated

18:17
and Randy Savage by joining the Outsiders Scott Hall and Kevin Nash to form the New World Order. The NWO was
18:25
WCW's greatest weapon in the Monday Night War, pitting WCW's Nitro against

was a notable leader, patriot and elder statesman who served our beloved nation as both the military head of state and

committed public servant who made considerable contributions towards the peace and progress of our dear nation.

27:07
the country with character and a deep sense of patriotism. In his passing,

Nigeria has lost one of its foremost leaders and I have lost a respected colleague and elder. His legacy will

28:23
or a two-term civilian president. It is the loss of a symbol. A man whose life embodied the transition of Nigeria from
28:31
the old guard to the new republic. A man who even in retirement remained a moral
28:36
compass to many and an example of modesty in public life. According to Babingida, the late former president,
28:44
Buhari beyond the uniform and the public glare was a deeply spiritual man, a man
28:50
who found solace in faith and who carried himself with the humility of someone who believed in a higher
28:55
calling. We may not have agreed on everything as brothers often don't. But

29:11
soldier in the journey of nationhood. Babinga said Buhari stood out quiet yet
29:17
resolute, principled yet humble, deeply patriotic and fiercely loyal to Nigeria.

Through the years, we shared trenches and trials, dreams and disappointments, victories and moments of reflection. Our
29:30
bond was forged not only by military training, but by a shared commitment to the ideals of service, discipline, and
29:38
love for country, he said. The former military president expressed his condolences to his beloved wife Aisha,
29:46
his children, grandchildren, and the nation he loved and served. He prayed Allah in his infinite mercy to forgive
