of Sir Ward’s social media post calling the President a criminal,

34
00:02:31,639 –> 00:02:35,120
government agency or foreign corporation has the right to muzzle

35
00:02:35,199 –> 00:02:39,360
Nigerians in the digital space. Barrister to Temokin stated on

36
00:02:39,439 –> 00:02:43,639
September thirtieth, twenty twenty five, at a separate court where

37
00:02:43,639 –> 00:02:47,240
the Federal Government of Nigeria filed a five count charges

38
00:02:47,280 –> 00:02:51,560
against the news media publisher Emile Saware and the DSS

39
00:02:51,599 –> 00:02:55,159
had planned to arrain the publisher before the court. Vanguard

40
00:02:55,280 –> 00:02:59,280
Newspaper reported that when the matter came up, Sware’s council

41
00:02:59,599 –> 00:03:03,800
Marshall Abubaka, objected to the charges being read, arguing that

42
00:03:03,879 –> 00:03:07,719
his client had not been properly served. He also noted

43
00:03:07,759 –> 00:03:12,800
the absence of legal representation i X. However, Meta was

44
00:03:12,840 –> 00:03:16,159
represented in court by a team led by Senior Advocate

45
00:03:16,199 –> 00:03:22,400
of Nigeria, Teo Yetebo. Justice Mohammad Umar, presiding, directed that

46
00:03:22,439 –> 00:03:25,680
Saware be served in court, an order not opposed by

47
00:03:25,680 –> 00:03:29,960
any of the parties, including Mohammad Babadoko, Director of Public

48
00:03:30,159 –> 00:03:33,840
Information from the Nigerian Presidency, has indicated that there is

49
00:03:33,879 –> 00:03:37,400
a plan by President Bola Ahmed Toanubu to begin legal

50
00:03:37,479 –> 00:03:41,080
action against the country. Former President good Luck of Belelet

51
00:03:41,199 –> 00:03:45,039
Jonathan over sustained and continuous rumors in certain quarters that

52
00:03:45,159 –> 00:03:49,080
ex President Jonathan may have indicated interest to recontest as

53
00:03:49,240 –> 00:03:53,759
Nigeria president in twenty twenty seven. This the Special Advisor

54
00:03:53,759 –> 00:03:57,360
to President Bola armed to Enubu on Information and Strategy,

55
00:03:57,680 –> 00:04:01,280
BeO on Anugu, said Jonathan is welcome to join the

56
00:04:01,319 –> 00:04:05,599
twenty twenty seven presidential electoral race, but Jonathan will have

57
00:04:05,639 –> 00:04:08,400
his date in the Court of the Land. Indeed, the

58
00:04:08,479 –> 00:04:11,639
jury will determine whether Jonathan, who was sworn in twice

59
00:04:11,680 –> 00:04:16,240
as president, satisfies the constitutional requirements and is eligible to

60
00:04:16,279 –> 00:04:20,079
contest the presidency and be sworn in if successful for

61
00:04:20,160 –> 00:04:23,319
a third term in office. It would be recalled that

62
00:04:23,399 –> 00:04:26,959
ex President Jonathan was one of the most criticized presidents

63
00:04:27,000 –> 00:04:32,319
in Nigeria, with politicians including President Bolahmed Tanubu, who was

64
00:04:32,360 –> 00:04:36,000
then a chieftain of the Action Congress of Nigeria ACN,

65
00:04:36,079 –> 00:04:40,199
forming a coalition of All Progressives Congress APC to defeat

66
00:04:40,240 –> 00:04:44,720
the incumbent president in twenty fifteen. Currently, there is also

67
00:04:44,759 –> 00:04:49,279
a coalition formed by politicians in Nigeria the African Democratic

68
00:04:49,319 –> 00:04:53,680
Congress ADC to defeat and remove President Tanubu from office

69
00:04:53,720 –> 00:04:57,160
in twenty twenty seven, and lately reports indicated that the

70
00:04:57,199 –> 00:05:00,800
former President good Luck Jonathan is considered in joining the

71
00:05:00,879 –> 00:05:06,079
African Democratic Congress ADC, but no official announcement has been made.

72
00:05:06,360 –> 00:05:09,959
The speculation intensified after Jonathan met with a d C

73
00:05:10,279 –> 00:05:14,360
national chairman David Mark in late September twenty twenty five,

74
00:05:14,759 –> 00:05:19,000
amidst ongoing discussions about the twenty twenty seven presidential election,

75
00:05:19,839 –> 00:05:23,399
and Jonathan’s closed door meeting with ad C leaders on

76
00:05:23,480 –> 00:05:28,360
September twenty fifth, twenty twenty five, fueled widespread speculation about

77
00:05:28,360 –> 00:05:32,199
his potential run for the presidency on their platform. In

78
00:05:32,240 –> 00:05:36,519
a statement issued on Monday, bo on Anuga, the spokesperson

79
00:05:36,600 –> 00:05:40,480
to President Boler Ahmed Tanubu, said, as we begin the

80
00:05:40,560 –> 00:05:44,480
march towards the twenty twenty seven elections, prematurely foisted on

81
00:05:44,560 –> 00:05:47,879
the nation by the desperation of the opposition ganging up

82
00:05:47,920 –> 00:05:53,000
against President Bola Tanubu despite his glaring giant economic strides,

83
00:05:53,360 –> 00:05:56,120
we are once again regaled with a cacophony of voices,

84
00:05:56,519 –> 00:05:59,720
most of them full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

85
00:06:00,079 –> 00:06:04,879
To paraphrase inimitable WILLIAMS. Shakespeare in one of his classic works, Macbeth.

86
00:06:05,680 –> 00:06:08,959
One recent statement that stands out in its absurdity is

87
00:06:09,000 –> 00:06:14,240
Professor Jerry Garner’s, the former Minister of Information and National Orientation,

88
00:06:14,879 –> 00:06:18,199
moving to draft former President good Luck Jonathan into the

89
00:06:18,199 –> 00:06:21,920
two thousand and seven presidential race, affirmed that the former

90
00:06:21,959 –> 00:06:25,120
president would contest the coming election on the platform of

91
00:06:25,160 –> 00:06:29,839
the discredited People’s Democratic Party PDP, which bequeathed the legacy

92
00:06:29,839 –> 00:06:34,759
of economic ruins after sixteen years of bad governance. Garner

93
00:06:34,800 –> 00:06:38,639
even deluded himself, asserting that the former president would defeat

94
00:06:38,720 –> 00:06:43,879
President Tanubu to reclaim power after twelve years. Professor Garner,

95
00:06:43,879 –> 00:06:46,839
of the defunct m am se R fame is free

96
00:06:46,879 –> 00:06:51,079
to delude himself and engage in his usual comedy. After all,

97
00:06:51,399 –> 00:06:54,399
Jonathan’s entering the race would provide another job for the

98
00:06:54,480 –> 00:06:59,360
Niger State born former university don However, we should caution

99
00:06:59,519 –> 00:07:04,279
for pre Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Natanyahu on Friday stated

100
00:07:04,319 –> 00:07:06,959
that many world leaders who do come out publicly to

101
00:07:07,040 –> 00:07:11,160
condemn the Israel war in Gaza do privately thank Israel

102
00:07:11,240 –> 00:07:15,240
for staging the war against Tamas, and according to Benjamin Netanyahu,

103
00:07:15,519 –> 00:07:19,040
the world leaders tell me how much they value Israel’s

104
00:07:19,079 –> 00:07:23,240
superb intelligence services that have prevented time and again terrorist

105
00:07:23,319 –> 00:07:27,160
attacks in their capitals, time and again, saving countless lives.

106
00:07:27,639 –> 00:07:31,639
General George Kegan, former head of US Air Force Intelligence,

107
00:07:32,160 –> 00:07:34,959
once said, if the United States had to gather on

108
00:07:35,160 –> 00:07:38,600
its own the intelligence that Israel gives us, we would

109
00:07:38,600 –> 00:07:42,720
have to establish five sea hires, five sea ISAs. This

110
00:07:42,839 –> 00:07:47,519
past June, when Israel struck Around’s nuclear facilities, German Chancellor

111
00:07:47,600 –> 00:07:51,759
Mertz admitted the truth This Benjamin Natanyah, who stated when

112
00:07:51,800 –> 00:07:56,040
the speech was being broadcast live via huge loudspeakers that

113
00:07:56,120 –> 00:07:59,399
were placed on the Gaza border while the Israel Prime

114
00:07:59,439 –> 00:08:04,480
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was speaking at the United Nations General Assembly,

115
00:08:04,759 –> 00:08:07,920
which his appearance drew a mix of applause and protest,

116
00:08:08,360 –> 00:08:10,639
with some delegates walking out of the hall as he

117
00:08:10,720 –> 00:08:13,759
took the stage. You know, deep down that Israel is

118
00:08:13,800 –> 00:08:17,079
fighting your fight. I want to tell you a secret.

119
00:08:17,399 –> 00:08:21,079
Behind closed doors, many of the leaders who publicly condemn

120
00:08:21,240 –> 00:08:26,639
us privately thank us, Benjamin Netanyaho stated. In response, Prime

121
00:08:26,680 –> 00:08:30,519
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reiterated and blamed the Israel war in

122
00:08:30,560 –> 00:08:34,679
Gaza on Iran, saying Iran terror axis threatened the peace

123
00:08:34,720 –> 00:08:38,200
of the entire world. Some parts of the long speech

124
00:08:38,279 –> 00:08:42,240
by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the United Nations General

125
00:08:42,240 –> 00:08:47,600
Assembly are presented verbatim below. Mister President, the families of

126
00:08:47,639 –> 00:08:51,600
our dear hostages languishing in the dungeons of Gaza, ladies

127
00:08:51,639 –> 00:08:55,360
and gentlemen. Last year, I stood at this podium, and

128
00:08:55,480 –> 00:08:58,799
I showed this map. It shows the curse of Iran’s

129
00:08:58,919 –> 00:09:02,919
terror axis. This axis threatened the peace of the entire world.

130
00:09:03,399 –> 00:09:06,080
It threatened the stability of our region and the very

131
00:09:06,120 –> 00:09:10,559
existence of my country, Israel. Iran was rapidly developing a

132
00:09:10,600 –> 00:09:15,080
massive nuclear weapons program and a massive ballistic missile program.

133
00:09:15,440 –> 00:09:18,480
These were meant not only to destroy Israel, they were

134
00:09:18,519 –> 00:09:22,559
meant also to threaten the United States and blackmail nations everywhere.

135
00:09:23,200 –> 00:09:27,600
From Gaza Yehya Sin were dispatched waves of Hamas terrorists.

136
00:09:27,639 –> 00:09:31,240
They stormed into Israel on October seventh and committed acts

137
00:09:31,240 –> 00:09:36,720
of unspeakable savagery. From Lebanon, Hassan Nasralla had launched thousands

138
00:09:36,720 –> 00:09:40,600
of missiles and rockets at our cities, terrorizing our citizens.

139
00:09:41,399 –> 00:09:46,279
In Syria, the murderous dictator Hassad hosted Iran’s forces, titling

140
00:09:46,320 –> 00:09:49,919
a noose of death around our throats in Yemen. The

141
00:09:50,000 –> 00:09:54,320
Huthis launched ballistic missiles at Israel while choking global trade

142
00:09:54,360 –> 00:09:57,360
at the mouth of the Red Sea. So what’s happened

143
00:09:57,399 –> 00:10:01,480
over the past year. We’ve hammered the Huthis, including yesterday

144
00:10:01,840 –> 00:10:05,960
we crushed the bulk of Hamas’s terror machine. We crippled Hesbalah,

145
00:10:06,360 –> 00:10:08,720
taking out most of its leaders and much of its

146
00:10:08,759 –> 00:10:14,440
weapons Arsenal. Remember those beepers, the pages we paged Hesbalah

147
00:10:14,600 –> 00:10:17,440
and believe me, they got the message in thousands of

148
00:10:17,559 –> 00:10:22,279
terrorists dropped to the ground. We destroyed Assad’s armaments in Syria,

149
00:10:22,679 –> 00:10:26,840
we deterred Iran’s Shiayed militias in Iraq. And most importantly

150
00:10:27,200 –> 00:10:29,480
and above everything else, that I could say to you

151
00:10:29,559 –> 00:10:32,919
all that we justice. James Amitosho of the Federal High Court,

152
00:10:32,960 –> 00:10:36,200
sitting in Abujo on Friday, rule that the detained Biafra

153
00:10:36,320 –> 00:10:40,639
agitation leader Namdi Kru, has case to answer because the

154
00:10:40,720 –> 00:10:45,399
Nigeria government prosecution team have provided some evidence that requires

155
00:10:45,480 –> 00:10:50,320
explanations from the detained Biafra leader. This the coordinating lawyer

156
00:10:50,320 –> 00:10:54,039
to Namdy Kru, Barrister Alloyergy mccorse, said the judgment of

157
00:10:54,080 –> 00:10:58,360
the court does not mean Namdi Kru has been pronounced guilty. Rather,

158
00:10:58,799 –> 00:11:02,080
the ruling indicated that he should give explanations to certain

159
00:11:02,120 –> 00:11:05,799
evidences the Federal Government of Nigeria brought before the court.

160
00:11:06,559 –> 00:11:08,559
It would be recalled that the ruling on the no

161
00:11:08,759 –> 00:11:12,279
case submission filed by Namdi Karo that was earlier slated

162
00:11:12,320 –> 00:11:15,360
to be held on October tenth, twenty twenty five, was

163
00:11:15,399 –> 00:11:18,960
abridged and rescheduled to Friday, the twenty sixth of September

164
00:11:19,000 –> 00:11:24,120
twenty twenty five. Justice James Omatosha also rejected request by

165
00:11:24,200 –> 00:11:27,240
Karno to be transferred from custody of the Department of

166
00:11:27,320 –> 00:11:31,440
State Services DSS to the National Hospital, Abuja for medical

167
00:11:31,480 –> 00:11:36,919
examination over alleged deteriorating health issues. The court subsequently ordered

168
00:11:36,919 –> 00:11:41,559
the President of Nigerian Medical Association an MA to constitute

169
00:11:41,559 –> 00:11:45,559
an investigation committee to examine Karnu’s medical condition and submit

170
00:11:45,639 –> 00:11:48,399
a report to it in eight days, following objection by

171
00:11:48,480 –> 00:11:52,000
DSS to his request to be transferred to National Hospital

172
00:11:52,080 –> 00:11:55,879
for second opinion on his health condition. We had earlier

173
00:11:55,919 –> 00:11:58,519
in the year reported that the case between the Federal

174
00:11:58,559 –> 00:12:01,799
Government of Nigeria and US detained leader of the Indigenous

175
00:12:01,799 –> 00:12:05,720
people of Biafra. Namdi Karu apparently took a new technical

176
00:12:05,759 –> 00:12:08,919
twist after one of the lawyers of the detained Biafra leader,

177
00:12:09,320 –> 00:12:13,600
Paul rikorro Sam presented and played three videos which the

178
00:12:13,639 –> 00:12:17,480
Federal High Court sitting in Abuja later admitted in evidence.

179
00:12:17,879 –> 00:12:21,639
The videos of former Nigeria Chief of Army Staff, Retired

180
00:12:21,720 –> 00:12:27,039
General Theophilis Danjuma saying security operatives in the West Africa country,

181
00:12:27,360 –> 00:12:30,799
specifically the armed forces are working together with the armed

182
00:12:30,840 –> 00:12:35,159
bandits to kill Nigerians, stressing that if Nigerians depend on

183
00:12:35,240 –> 00:12:38,519
the armed forces to curb in security, they will all

184
00:12:38,600 –> 00:12:41,759
die one by one. Also that of Governor Hope whose

185
00:12:41,799 –> 00:12:46,000
odenbur of Imho State saying politicians are behind killings in

186
00:12:46,039 –> 00:12:49,519
the state. Lastly, in the most interesting video played at

187
00:12:49,559 –> 00:12:52,679
the court to counter the testimony or statement made by

188
00:12:52,720 –> 00:12:56,840
the DSS prosecutor witness over Nandi Carnu led Ipo be

00:13:01,759 –> 00:13:06,159
youths in the Southeastern geopolitical zone of Nigeria often referred

191
00:13:06,200 –> 00:13:09,480
to as Biafra Land to fight in self defense against

192
00:13:09,519 –> 00:13:13,320
Fulani armed bandits or terrorists. That were advancing and killing

193
00:13:13,360 –> 00:13:16,600
people in the Eastern state during the era of President

194
00:13:16,639 –> 00:13:19,879
Mohammadu Buhari was that of the Director General of the

195
00:13:19,919 –> 00:13:25,000
Department of State Services DSS, Adeola Ajai, who was apparently

196
00:13:25,039 –> 00:13:28,720
the government chief complainer in the case, and the DSSDG

197
00:13:28,919 –> 00:13:32,399
in the video recorded and published by Symphony News Media

198
00:13:32,559 –> 00:13:37,399
in February twenty twenty five, narrated how youths Adasare community

Harum terrorists that came to attack them without depending on

204
00:13:57,559 –> 00:14:01,240
the security operatives. According to the d President of France

205
00:14:01,600 –> 00:14:05,759
Emmanuel Macron and its US counterpart Donald Trump on Tuesday

206
00:14:05,799 –> 00:14:09,399
engaged in a tough talk over the recognition of Palestine

207
00:14:09,519 –> 00:14:13,159
state and the Israeli war in Gaza during the bilateral

208
00:14:13,200 –> 00:14:16,879
meeting both held on the sideline of the UN General

209
00:14:16,919 –> 00:14:20,919
Assembly in New York, where the French president insisted that

210
00:14:21,039 –> 00:14:24,480
Israel has already achieved more by killing the top militia

211
00:14:24,559 –> 00:14:28,039
leaders of HERMAS, saying it doesn’t work to dismantle the

212
00:14:28,039 –> 00:14:31,480
harmas this is not the right way to proceed, he said,

213
00:14:31,840 –> 00:14:35,519
while President Trump had reiterated and insisted that things will

214
00:14:35,519 –> 00:14:38,840
not work the way. The French president had suggested that

215
00:14:39,240 –> 00:14:42,679
the October seventh, twenty twenty three hostages still in the

216
00:14:42,720 –> 00:14:46,440
custody of Hamas cannot be honored with such suggestions. The

217
00:14:46,519 –> 00:14:50,159
meeting was held when videos of the French President Emmanuel

218
00:14:50,240 –> 00:14:54,559
Macron and Turkish President resepered Awan went viral on the Internet,

219
00:14:54,960 –> 00:14:58,200
where both presidents were stopped or blocked separately by New

220
00:14:58,320 –> 00:15:01,440
York police operatives as they tried to cross streets in

221
00:15:01,480 –> 00:15:04,240
the New York City over yet to be seen incoming

222
00:15:04,320 –> 00:15:09,279
motorcade of their counterpart, President Donald Trump. The French President

223
00:15:09,559 –> 00:15:12,679
Emmanuel Macron called Donald Trump on the phone after his

224
00:15:12,799 –> 00:15:16,120
journey to the French embassy was blocked by police offices

225
00:15:16,200 –> 00:15:19,399
preparing for the motorcade of the US president, but that

226
00:15:19,440 –> 00:15:24,039
of the Turkish President Recep Erdowan could be seen quickly

227
00:15:24,080 –> 00:15:26,840
surrounded by his security team in a manner that makes

228
00:15:26,879 –> 00:15:29,919
the president looked apparently in shot. The moment, some group

229
00:15:30,000 –> 00:15:33,360
of New York police officers advanced towards them to stop

230
00:15:33,440 –> 00:15:37,559
the Turkish presidential team from crossing the road. According to

231
00:15:37,639 –> 00:15:41,120
New York Times, nothing frustrates a New Yorker in a

232
00:15:41,200 –> 00:15:43,919
hurry like finding that a street has been blocked off

233
00:15:43,960 –> 00:15:48,039
because some big shot is in town. Apparently the same

234
00:15:48,159 –> 00:15:52,000
is true for the President of France, Emmanuel Macron. On

235
00:15:52,120 –> 00:15:55,759
Monday evening, mister Macron, in New York for the UN

236
00:15:55,879 –> 00:15:59,320
General Assembly, was stuck on a Manhattan street corner that

237
00:15:59,399 –> 00:16:03,519
had been off for President Trump’s motorcade. The meeting of

238
00:16:03,600 –> 00:16:08,679
world leaders is, among other things, a traffic nightmare. At first,

239
00:16:09,039 –> 00:16:12,320
mister Macron did what many New Yorkers might do. He

240
00:16:12,399 –> 00:16:15,240
pleaded with a police officer to let him cross the street.

241
00:16:16,039 –> 00:16:19,679
I have ten people with me, mister Macron told the officer.

242
00:16:20,000 –> 00:16:23,000
According to video that shows the French president making his

243
00:16:23,120 –> 00:16:26,679
case on the street corner, I go to the French embassy.

244
00:16:27,039 –> 00:16:29,799
But the officer politely held his ground and would not

245
00:16:29,919 –> 00:16:34,519
let mister Macron cross the street. I’m sorry, President, I’m

246
00:16:34,559 –> 00:16:39,120
really sorry, he told mister Macron. It’s just that everything’s

247
00:16:39,159 –> 00:16:42,840
been frozen right now. There’s a motorcade coming right now.

248
00:16:43,240 –> 00:16:47,240
I’m sorry, mister Macron. Who has engaged in diplomacy to

249
00:16:47,320 –> 00:16:50,639
try to end the wars in Ukraine and Gaza. Tried again,

250
00:16:51,399 –> 00:16:55,080
I negotiate with you, the French president said on the video.

251
00:16:55,879 –> 00:16:59,360
When that didn’t work, mister Macron did what average New

252
00:16:59,480 –> 00:17:02,159
Yorker’s could not do. He pulled out his phone and

253
00:17:02,200 –> 00:17:05,599
called the President of the United States. How are you,

254
00:17:06,079 –> 00:17:09,880
He asked, mister Trump, cell phone pressed to his ear. Yes,

255
00:17:10,039 –> 00:17:13,440
what I am waiting the street because everything is frozen

256
00:17:13,480 –> 00:17:16,160
for you. It was not clear from the video what

257
00:17:16,319 –> 00:17:19,839
mister Trump said, but mister Macron chuckled and told the

258
00:17:19,880 –> 00:17:22,759
American President that he was hoping to have a discussion

259
00:17:22,799 –> 00:17:26,160
with him and Katari officials about the situation in Gaza.

260
00:17:26,880 –> 00:17:30,039
The White House did not immediately respond to a request.

261
00:17:30,079 –> 00:17:32,079
There is no doubt that this week may be an

262
00:17:32,079 –> 00:17:35,680
interesting week in the international community, as world leaders gather

263
00:17:35,759 –> 00:17:39,480
for the twenty twenty five United Nations General Assembly meeting

264
00:17:39,519 –> 00:17:43,079
to discuss and take a standover decades of conflicts between

265
00:17:43,200 –> 00:17:46,319
Israel and the people of Palestine, especially some of them

266
00:17:46,319 –> 00:17:50,680
well known as Hamas fighters, over territorial integrity and sovereignty,

267
00:17:51,160 –> 00:17:54,759
most especially ever since the State of Palestine was officially

268
00:17:54,799 –> 00:17:59,759
declared by the Palestine Liberation Organization PLO on the fifteenth

269
00:17:59,799 –> 00:18:03,920
of November nineteen eighty eight, claiming sovereignty over the West Bank,

270
00:18:04,279 –> 00:18:07,839
which includes East Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip, and as

271
00:18:07,839 –> 00:18:10,880
at the end of nineteen eighty eight, over seventy eight

272
00:18:10,960 –> 00:18:16,039
countries approved the declaration, including Nigeria that recognized Palestinian State

273
00:18:16,119 –> 00:18:20,480
barely three days after the declaration on November eighteenth, nineteen

274
00:18:20,559 –> 00:18:24,279
eighty eight, and the numbers have been increasing particularly since

275
00:18:24,400 –> 00:18:28,079
the beginning of twenty twenty four like never before. As

276
00:18:28,119 –> 00:18:32,119
at September twenty first, twenty twenty five, over one hundred

277
00:18:32,160 –> 00:18:34,880
and fifty one countries out of the one hundred and

278
00:18:34,960 –> 00:18:39,720
ninety three United Nations members have recognized the Palestinian State,

279
00:18:39,880 –> 00:18:44,119
including United Kingdom UK, which its recognition appears to be

280
00:18:44,200 –> 00:18:47,720
more disturbing to the Israeli government, with the Israeli Prime

281
00:18:47,759 –> 00:18:51,640
Minister Benjamin Netanyahoo issuing what he described as a clear

282
00:18:51,680 –> 00:18:55,279
message to the world leaders recognizing Palestine as a country

283
00:18:55,319 –> 00:18:58,200
of its own that it’s not going to happen. The

284
00:18:58,319 –> 00:19:02,759
United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, among others, declared and announced their

285
00:19:02,799 –> 00:19:07,039
recognition of the Palestinian State on September twenty first, twenty

286
00:19:07,119 –> 00:19:12,519
twenty five, while countries like Germany, Italy, Japan, and South Korea,

287
00:19:12,559 –> 00:19:15,680
among others, are yet to make their position known. In

288
00:19:15,720 –> 00:19:19,880
a video broadcast on Sunday, the British Prime Minister Kiir

289
00:19:19,920 –> 00:19:23,240
Starmer said today to revive the hope of peace for

290
00:19:23,279 –> 00:19:26,720
the Palestinians and Israelis and a two state solution, the

291
00:19:26,880 –> 00:19:30,920
United Kingdom formally recognizes the State of Palestine, adding that

292
00:19:30,960 –> 00:19:34,599
the recognition is not a reward for her Mas, reiterating

293
00:19:34,599 –> 00:19:38,160
that the United Kingdom has already prescribed and sanctioned her

294
00:19:38,240 –> 00:19:41,920
Mass as a terrorist organization, saying any member of her

295
00:19:41,960 –> 00:19:44,599
Mas will not be a member of the Palestinian government,

296
00:19:44,680 –> 00:19:49,200
including joining the security architectures of the Palestinian state. A

297
00:19:49,319 –> 00:19:53,279
statement by the Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin NETANYAHUO issued

298
00:19:53,319 –> 00:19:56,440
a few hours after the video broadcast by the Prime

299
00:19:56,480 –> 00:20:00,240
Minister of the United Kingdom Kiir Starmer, the isv Rail

300
00:20:00,319 –> 00:20:03,240
Prime minister said there would never be a Palestinian state

301
00:20:03,279 –> 00:20:06,880
to the west of the Jordan River. In quotes Prime

302
00:20:06,920 –> 00:20:10,400
Minister Benjamin Netanya, who said, I have a clear message

303
00:20:10,400 –> 00:20:13,640
to those leaders who are recognizing a Palestinian state. After

304
00:20:13,680 –> 00:20:17,559
the horrendous October seventh massacre. You are rewarding terror with

305
00:20:17,599 –> 00:20:21,079
an enormous prize, and I have another message for you.

306
00:20:21,640 –> 00:20:25,079
It’s not going to happen. There will be no Palestinian

307
00:20:25,200 –> 00:20:28,440
state to the west of the Jordan River. For years

308
00:20:28,480 –> 00:20:31,759
I have prevented the creation of that terror state against

309
00:20:31,839 –> 00:20:36,119
tremendous pressure, both domestic and from abroad. We have done

310
00:20:36,160 –> 00:20:40,799
this with determination and with its due statesmanship. Moreover, we

311
00:20:40,880 –> 00:20:44,240
have doubled the Jewish settlement in Judea and Samaria, and

312
00:20:44,279 –> 00:20:47,480
we will continue on this path. The response to the

313
00:20:47,559 –> 00:20:50,359
latest attempt to force upon us a terra state in

314
00:20:50,400 –> 00:20:52,559
the heart of our land will be given after my

315
00:20:52,720 –> 00:20:57,240
return from the United States. Stand by in the face

316
00:20:57,279 –> 00:21:00,799
of the growing horror in the Middle East. Prosers walk
