We all know those GLP1 injections work
0:02
wonders, but that price tag almost gave
0:05
me a heart attack when my insurance
0:06
denied coverage. I was staring at a
0:09
choice between paying my mortgage or
0:11
paying for weight loss. Talk about a
0:13
rock in a hard place. Then I found
0:15
Elevate Health compounded semiglutide at
0:18
just $58 with payment plans that don't
0:21
require a second mortgage. Same
0:23
medication, same results, but a price
0:25
that real folks can actually afford.

Your wallet will be as happy as your

approved. There is no doubt that this
0:41
week may be an interesting week in the
0:42
international community as world leaders
0:45
gather for the 2025 United Nations
0:48
General Assembly meeting to discuss and
0:50
take a stand over decades of conflicts
0:52
between Israel and the people of
0:54
Palestine, especially some of them well
0:56
known as Hamas fighters, over
0:58
territorial integrity and sovereignty,
1:00
most especially ever since the state of
1:03
Palestine was officially declared by the
1:05
Palestine Liberation Organization PLO on
1:08
the 5th 15th of November 1988 claiming
1:12
sovereignty over the West Bank which
1:14
includes East Jerusalem and the Gaza
1:16
Strip. And as at the end of 1988, over
1:20
78 countries approved the declaration,
1:22
including Nigeria that recognized
1:24
Palestinian state barely 3 days after
1:27
the declaration on November 18th, 1988.
1:31
And the numbers have been increasing
1:33
particularly since the beginning of 2024
1:36
like never before. As of September 21st,
1:41
over 151 countries out of the 193 United
1:46
Nations members have recognized the
1:48
Palestinian state, including United
1:50
Kingdom, UK, which its recognition
1:53
appears to be more disturbing to the
1:55
Israeli government with the Israeli
1:57
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
1:59
issuing what he described as a clear
2:01
message to the world leaders recognizing
2:03
Palestine as a country of its own that
2:05
it's not going to happen. The United
2:08
Kingdom, Australia, Canada, among
2:10
others, declared and announced their
2:12
recognition of the Palestinian state on
2:15
September 21st, 2025, while countries
2:19
like Germany, Italy, Japan, and South
2:21
Korea, among others are yet to make
2:23
their position known. In a video
2:26
broadcast on Sunday, the British Prime
2:28
Minister Kama said, "Today, to revive
2:32
the hope of peace for the Palestinians
2:33
and Israelis and a two-state solution,
2:36
the United Kingdom formally recognizes
2:38
the state of Palestine, adding that the
2:40
recognition is not a reward for Hamas,
2:43
reiterating that the United Kingdom has
2:46
already prescribed and sanctioned Hamas
2:48
as a terrorist organization, saying any
2:51
member of Hamas will not be a member of
2:53
the Palestinian government, including in
2:55
joining the security architectures of
2:57
the Palestinian state. A statement by
2:59
the Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin
3:01
Netanyahu, issued a few hours after the
3:04
video broadcast by the Prime Minister of
3:06
the United Kingdom, Kama, the Israel
3:10
Prime Minister said there would never be
3:11
a Palestinian state to the west of the
3:13
Jordan River. In quotes, Prime Minister
3:17
Benjamin Netanyahu said, "I have a clear
3:19
message to those leaders who are
3:21
recognizing a Palestinian state after
3:23
the horrendous October 7th massacre. You
3:26
are rewarding terror with an enormous
3:28
prize. And I have another message for
3:30
you. It's not going to happen. There
3:33
will be no Palestinian state to the west
3:35
of the Jordan River. For years, I have
3:38
prevented the creation of that terror
3:40
state against tremendous pressure, both
3:43
domestic and from abroad.
3:45
We have done this with determination and
3:47
with astute statesmanship. Moreover, we
3:50
have doubled the Jewish settlement in
3:52
Judea and Samaria, and we will continue
3:54
on this path. The response to the latest
3:57
attempt to force upon us a terror state
4:00
in the heart of our land will be given
4:01
after my return from the United States.
4:05
Standby. In the face of the growing
4:07
horror in the Middle East, we are acting
4:11
to keep alive the possibility of peace
4:14
and a two-state solution.
4:17
That means a safe and secure Israel
4:20
alongside a viable Palestinian state.
4:24
At the moment, we have neither.
4:28
Ordinary people, Israeli and
4:32
deserve to live in peace, to try to
4:35
rebuild their lives free from violence
4:39
We agree or disagree.
4:40
That's what the British people
4:42
desperately want to see.
4:45
Yet, almost two years after the barbaric
4:49
attacks of October the 7th, hostages are
4:53
still held by the terrorists of Hamas.
4:57
Recent images show the hostages
5:00
suffering and emaciated.
5:03
Hamas even refused to release all the
5:09
I have met British families of the
5:13
I see the torture that they endure each
5:16
and every day. Pain that strikes deep in
5:20
people's hearts across Israel and here
5:22
in the United Kingdom. Because we have
5:25
The hostages must be released
5:29
and we will keep fighting to bring them
5:32
to share our thoughts.
5:33
Let's be frank. Hamas is a brutal terror
5:39
Our call for a genuine two-state
5:41
solution is the exact opposite of their
5:48
So we are clear. This solution is not a
5:52
reward for Hamas because it means Hamas
5:56
can have no future, no role in
5:58
government, no role in security.
6:02
We have already prescribed and
6:03
sanctioned Hamas and we will go further.
6:07
I have directed work to sanction other
6:10
Hamas figures in the coming weeks.
6:14
Meanwhile, the man-made humanitarian
6:17
crisis in Gaza reaches new depths. The
6:22
Israeli government's relentless and
6:25
increasing bombardment of Gaza. The
6:28
offensive of recent weeks, the
6:31
starvation and devastation,
6:34
are utterly intolerable.
6:38
Tens of thousands have been killed,
6:40
including thousands as they tried to
6:43
collect food and water.
6:46
This death and destruction horrifiers
6:54
We have evacuated the first group of
6:56
sick and injured children to the United
6:58
Kingdom to be treated by the NHS and we
7:02
continue to increase our humanitarian
7:06
But still nowhere near enough aid is
7:11
We call again on the Israeli government
7:14
to lift the unacceptable restrictions at
7:17
the border. Stop these cruel tactics and
7:21
let the aid surge in item.
7:25
With the actions of Hamas, the Israeli
7:28
government escalating the conflict and
7:30
settlement building being accelerated in
7:35
The hope of a two-state solution
7:39
is fading, madame president,
7:41
but we cannot let that light go out.
7:45
That is why we are building consensus
7:47
with leaders in the region and beyond
7:51
around our framework for peace. 145.
7:54
This is a practical plan to bring people
7:57
together behind a common vision and a
8:01
series of steps, including the reform of
8:04
the Palestinian Authority
8:06
that takes us from a ceasefire in Gaza
8:10
to negotiations on a two-state solution.
8:15
We will keep driving this forward.
8:19
As part of this effort,
8:21
I set out in July the terms upon which
8:25
we would act in line with our manifesto
8:29
to recognize Palestinian statethood in
8:32
issues that are that moment has now
8:40
to revive the hope of peace and a
8:47
as prime minister of this great country
8:50
and for the host country
8:51
that the United Kingdom formally
8:54
recognizes the state of Palestine
8:59
we recognize the state of Israel more
9:01
than 75 years ago as a homeland for the
9:07
Today we join over 150 countries
9:12
who recognize a Palestinian state. Also,
9:16
a pledge to the Palestinian and Israeli
9:19
people that there can be a better future
9:26
I know the strength of feeling that this
9:28
conflict provokes. We have seen it on
9:32
our streets, in our schools, in
9:35
conversations we've had with friends and
9:39
It has created division. Some have used
9:43
it to stoke hatred and fear. But that
9:50
Not only must we reject hate,
9:53
we must redouble our efforts to combat
9:56
hatred in all its forms.
10:00
We must channel our efforts united
10:02
together in hope behind the peaceful
10:06
future that we want to see.
10:09
The release of the hostages, an end to
10:12
the violence, an end to the suffering,
10:15
and a shift back towards a two-state
10:18
solution as the best hope for peace and
10:22
security for all sides. president that
