Ahead of the United Nations UN General
0:33
Assembly slated for September 2025, the
0:36
President of France, Emanuel Macarron,
0:39
on Thursday issued a statement and said
0:41
that France will recognize the state of
0:43
Palestine at the UN coming meeting of
0:46
heads of states as a way to put an end
0:48
to the war in Gaza so that the civilian
0:50
populations in the Palestinian city can
0:53
be rescued. also describing the move as
0:55
France historical commitment to a just
0:57
and lasting peace in the Middle East.
1:00
This the prime minister of Israel
1:02
Benjamin Netanyahu within an hour issued
1:04
a counter press statement and said that
1:06
the state of Israel condemned the
1:08
decision of France president to
1:10
recognize the state of Palestine
1:12
stressing that such move by France
1:14
rewards terror and risks creating
1:16
another Iran proxy that will be a launch
1:19
pad to annihilate Israel. According to
1:21
the president of France, Emanuel Macron,
1:24
true to its historic commitment to a
1:26
just and lasting peace in the Middle
1:28
East, I have decided that France will
1:30
recognize the state of Palestine. I will
1:33
make the solemn announcement at the
1:35
United Nations General Assembly next
1:38
September. The urgency is today for the
1:40
war in Gaza to end and the civilian
1:43
population to be rescued. Peace is
1:45
possible. There is an immediate
1:47
ceasefire, the release of all hostages,
1:50
and massive humanitarian aid to the
1:52
people of Gaza. We must also guarantee
1:54
the demilitarization of Hamas, secure
1:57
and rebuild Gaza. At last, it is
2:00
necessary to build the state of
2:02
Palestine, ensure its viability, and
2:04
allow that by accepting its
2:06
demilitarization and fully acknowledging
2:08
Israel, it participates in the safety of
2:10
everyone in the Middle East. There is no
2:13
alternative. The French want peace in
2:15
the Middle East. It is up to us, the
2:18
French, together with Israelis, the
2:20
Palestinians, our European and
2:22
international partners, to demonstrate
2:24
that it is possible. In light of the
2:27
commitments that the president of the
2:29
Palestinian Authority made to me, I
2:31
wrote to him my determination to move
2:33
forward. Trust, clarity, and commitment.
2:37
We will win peace, the French president
2:39
stated in a swift reaction. Prime
2:42
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reacted and
2:44
said, "We strongly condemn President
2:46
Mran's decision to recognize a
2:48
Palestinian state next to Tel Aviv in
2:51
the wake of the October 7th massacre."
2:53
Such a move rewards terror and risks
2:56
creating another Iranian proxy, just as
2:58
Gaza became. A Palestinian state in
3:01
these conditions would be a launch pad
3:03
to annihilate Israel, not to live in
3:06
peace beside it. Let's be clear, the
3:09
Palestinians do not seek a state
3:11
alongside Israel. They seek a state
3:13
instead of Israel. Meanwhile, it would
3:16
be recalled that Daily Sabbah News media
3:18
on May 28th, 2025 reported that
3:21
Indonesian President Provo Sububanto
3:24
said he would consider diplomatic ties
3:26
with Israel only if it recognized a
3:29
Palestinian state, speaking during talks
3:31
with French President Emanuel Macron in
3:33
Jakarta. Indonesia, the world's most
3:37
populous Muslim majority nation, has no
3:39
formal ties with Israel and has
3:41
consistently called for a two-state
3:43
solution to the decadesl long conflict.
3:46
On various occasions, I have said that
3:49
Indonesia sees the two-state solution
3:51
and the freedom of Palestine is the only
3:53
way to achieve the true peace, he told a
3:56
news conference. I also emphasized that
3:59
we must acknowledge and Clearwater
4:00
Police Department in Florida, United
4:03
States, has confirmed that world
4:05
wrestling champion Terry Baly aka Hulk
4:08
Hogan died on Thursday morning around
4:10
11:17 a.m. after the personnel of the
4:13
Clearwater City Fire and Police
4:15
Departments responded to an emergency
4:17
medical report at about 9:51 a.m.
4:20
administered first aid treatment of
4:22
cardiac arrest to Hulk Hogan before he
4:25
was rushed to Morton Plant Hospital
4:27
where he was pronounced dead. According
4:29
to the Clearwater Police Department in a
4:31
video press briefing held a few hours
4:34
ago, the Clearwater Fire Department and
4:37
Clearwater Police Department personnel
4:39
responded to a medical call at 9:51 a.m.
4:42
today in the 1,000 block of Elorado
4:45
Avenue on Clearwater Beach. The nature
4:48
of the call was for a cardiac arrest. A
4:51
71-year-old resident, Terry Bonnie, also
4:54
known as Hulk Hogan, was treated by
4:56
Clearwater Fire and Rescue crews before
4:59
being taken by Sunstar to Morton Plant
5:01
Hospital, where he was pronounced
5:03
deceased. Major Nate Burnside briefed
5:06
the press about the police and fire
5:08
response to a medical call involving
5:10
Terry Boly, also known as Hulk Hogan. A
5:14
video of the scene outside Hogan's
5:16
residence shows responders desperately
5:18
trying to save his life as he was
5:20
transported to an ambulance. In the
5:22
clip, several paramedics appear to be
5:25
conducting chest compressions as Hogan
5:27
is wheeled to the emergency vehicle. It
5:30
may be recalled that a few weeks ago,
5:32
Hogan's wife, Sky, whom he married in
5:35
September 2023, denied rumors he was in
5:38
a coma, stating his heart was strong as
5:42
he recovered from surgeries. Some local
5:44
media in the United States had reported
5:47
last month that Hogan was on his
5:49
deathbed, but the reports were denied
5:51
with statements that as at the time he
5:53
was just dealing with the symptoms of a
5:55
neck procedure he underwent in May 2025.
5:59
The global sports icon, Hulk Hogan
6:02
undoubtedly transformed professional
6:04
wrestling into a family entertainment
6:06
sports. Before Hulk, wrestling catered
6:09
to a fairly narrow audience. Hulk's
6:12
theatrics in the ring were magnetic for
6:14
children and their parents, and it
6:16
supercharged the sport. Hogan
6:18
kickstarted a pop culture phenomenon
6:20
with Hulkammania after defeating the
6:23
Iron Shake for the World Heavyweight
6:25
Championship in 1984.
6:27
A craze that never went away and his
6:30
signature bandanna and handlebar
6:31
mustache were often copied by fans in
6:34
crowds for decades. In 1996,
6:40
New World Order and became Hollywood
6:42
Hulk Hogan. It propelled him and
6:45
professional wrestling to even more
6:47
fame. Hogan had countless iconic
6:49
performance which included a matchup
6:51
against Dwayne, The Rock, Johnson at
6:54
Wrestlemania X8 in 2002 and a face off
6:57
with Andre the Giant at WM3 and had
7:01
memorable feuds with Ultimate Warrior
7:03
and Randy Savage. Hulk was inducted into
7:06
the WWE Hall of Fame in 2005.
7:10
He was removed in 2015 after a scandal
7:13
erupted over racists comments while he
7:15
was being secretly recorded during a
7:17
sexual encounter. Gawker posted the clip
7:20
and Hulk subsequently sued, winning the
7:23
lawsuit. Hulk was inducted a second time
7:26
in the WWE Hall of Fame in 2020. This
7:30
family of the late Nigeria former
7:32
president Muhammadu Buuhari on Sunday
7:35
issued and released a letter of
7:36
appreciation to people who sent in
7:38
condolence messages after the former
7:40
Nigeria president died on Sunday July
7:43
13th 2025 at a London hospital. But the
7:47
Boohari family mentioned several names
7:50
they considered as notable people among
7:52
those who sent in condolences which some
7:55
of them did not attend the burial
7:57
ceremony and apparently ignored three
7:59
former presidents of Nigeria that were
8:02
major rivals to the late Muhammadu
8:04
Buuhari's presidency despite the fact
8:07
that former presidents good luck of

8:17
the notable personalities in the society

14:25
UNUNICE also announced that an emergency
14:27
hotline has been activated at the
14:29
National Institute as multiple wars in
14:31
the Middle East appear unabated. Israel,
14:34
the main defender and attacker on
14:36
multiple waterfronts in the city of
14:37
Gaza, Lebanon, Iran, Yemen, and now
14:41
Syria, has ordered the Israel Aerospace
14:43
Industries, IIA, to mass-produce arrow
14:46
missiles interceptors in a very large
14:48
numbers, with the Israel Ministry of
14:50
Defense, saying that the state of Israel
14:52
has increased its defense spending for
14:54
2025 and 2026 to 42 billion new Israeli
14:59
shekels, which is approximately 12.5
15:03
During the 12-day war with Iran, there
15:06
were multiple reports that Israel was
15:08
running low on arrow missiles
15:10
interceptors defense system. As Iran
15:12
long-range missiles were seen hitting
15:14
targets in Israel, aerospace observers
15:17
said the advanced arrow highaltitude
15:19
defense systems are critical to
15:21
countering long range ballistic missile
15:23
threats like those launched from Iran
15:26
during the 12-day war in June 2025.
15:29
According to the Israel Ministry of
15:32
Defense in a press statement on
15:33
Thursday, the director general of the
15:36
Israel Ministry of Defense IMOD Major
15:39
General Reserveist Amir Baram signed a
15:42
production contract to significantly
15:44
accelerate the serial production of
15:46
arrow interceptors at IIrael Aerospace
15:49
Industries. As part of the deal, II will
15:53
supply the IMOD with a significant
15:55
additional amount of arrow interceptors.
15:58
The deal was led by Moshe Patel,
16:01
director of the Israel Missile Defense
16:03
Organization, IMDO, within the
16:06
Ministry's Directorate of Defense
16:08
Research and Development, DDRD.
16:11
The ARO system developed and
16:13
manufactured in cooperation with the US
16:15
Missile Defense Agency, MDA,
16:18
demonstrated significant interception
16:20
capabilities during the Swords of Iron
16:22
War, especially during Operation Rising
16:25
Lion. The system provides
16:27
exoathmospheric and endoatmospheric
16:30
interception capabilities against
16:32
ballistic missile threats, protecting
16:34
the state of Israel from strategic long
16:36
range threats. The Arrow system
16:39
integrates cuttingedge technologies and
16:41
is considered one of the world's most
16:43
advanced air and missile defense
16:45
systems. IA is the prime contractor for
16:48
developing the arrow system and its
16:50
interceptors through its MLM facility in
16:53
partnership with the US company Stark
16:55
Aerospace. Other partners include IALTA
16:59
and TAM divisions, Albert Systems, Toma
17:03
and Raphael Advanced Defense Systems.
17:06
The US Missile Defense Agency, MDA, is a
17:10
major partner of the IMDO at the
17:12
ministry's DDRD in the development and
17:15
production of Israel's multi-layered
17:17
defense systems, including the Arrow and
17:19
David's Sling weapon systems and the
17:22
production of Iron Dome defense system
17:24
components. The strategic cooperation
17:27
between the MDA and the IMDO helps
17:30
ensure Israel's technological edge in
17:32
air and missile defense. Also on
17:35
Thursday, Israel Aerospace Industries
17:38
III in a statement said, "Israel is
17:41
reinforcing its defenses on all fronts
17:44
at full speed. In a major move to
17:46
strengthen national security, the
17:48
Ministry of Defense has signed a
17:50
significant production contract with
17:52
Israel Aerospace Industries, IIAI, to
17:55
fasttrack the mass production of arrow
17:59
This strategic shortly after Prime
18:01
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu returned
18:03
from the United States US on Sunday
18:06
where he had paid an official visit to
18:08
the US president, Donald Trump,
18:11
lawmakers and other US government
18:12
officials. The misunderstanding between
18:15
Bedawin and Drews tribes in the Swider
18:17
region of Syria that started last Friday
18:20
took a new twist, evolving into a deadly
18:23
conflict after a Drews man was robbed at
18:25
gunpoint on Friday by gunman suspected
18:28
to be natives of Bedawin tribe. This
18:31
Drews residence in Swider shortly on
18:33
Friday mobilized went after the people
18:35
of Bedawin, arrested and detained a lot
18:37
of natives from the Bedawin tribe,
18:40
forcing the people of Bedawin to
18:41
retaliate and the conflicts led to mass
18:44
killings unabated. And on Tuesday, the
18:46
Syria interim government soldiers
18:48
entered swider reportedly to restore law
18:51
and order. But Israelbased media
18:54
reported that the Syria interim
18:55
government soldiers, mostly members of
18:58
the Hayat Tahir al-Ssham, HTS, assisted
19:01
and joined the Bedawin militias to kill
19:03
the people of Drews. And in a swift
19:05
response, the office of the prime
19:07
minister of Israel in a press statement
19:09
on Tuesday said, "The Prime Minister
19:12
Benjamin Netanyahu and the Israel
19:14
Minister of Defense, Israel cats have
19:17
authorized the Israel Defense Forces IDF
19:20
to attack Syria interim regime forces
19:23
led by Syria interim president Ahmed
19:25
Hussein al-Sharahu, Israel Policy Forum
19:28
in a publication published in December
19:31
2024 stated that the new Syria presents
19:34
fresh challenges for Israel, stating
19:37
that the Turkeybacked Sunni jihadist
19:39
group, Head Tahir al-Ssham, HTS, was an
19:43
al-Qaeda's former Syrian branch and its
19:46
leader, Abu Muhammad al- Jolani Golani,
19:49
also known as Ahmed Hussein al-Shar, who
19:52
is the current interim president of
19:54
Syria, was a member of an early version
19:56
of the Islamic State, saying Jolan's
19:59
chosen last name also foreshadows
20:01
conflict over territory that his family
20:04
hails from the Golden Heights which
