BREAKING: After France UK To Recognize The State Of Palestine |‘Palestine Statehood An INALIENABLE…’

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer is under growing international and domestic pressure to officially recognize the state of Palestine. Following France’s bold move and mounting calls from within his own cabinet, Starmer now claims recognition is inevitable, declaring Palestinian statehood an “inalienable right.” However, he stopped short of providing a timeline, raising questions over the UK’s real intent. In the backdrop of the catastrophic Gaza crisis, where over 38,000 have died and thousands more are displaced, Starmer pledged humanitarian aid, child evacuations, and renewed diplomatic efforts. Yet critics argue that his words fall short without clear policy moves. As Macron gains global support for France’s recognition, eyes are now fixed on whether Starmer will act — or delay. The Gaza war’s horrors have intensified demands for urgent Western action.

'DON’T TALK ABOUT ME!..’ Trump EXPLODES Over Epstein Scandal |Drops BOMBSHELL Names Of Epstein Files

In a fiery and wide-ranging press conference from Prestwick, Scotland, U.S. President Donald Trump touched on everything from UK trade deals and EU negotiations to the Gaza crisis, Epstein allegations, illegal immigration, and wind energy. Trump confirmed meetings with the UK Prime Minister and EU leaders, calling the UK trade pact a “celebration.” He praised Ursula von der Leyen, dismissed France's recognition of Palestine, and condemned Hamas while vowing support for Israel. He brushed off any links to the Epstein files and defended his associate Todd Blanche’s interview with Ghislaine Maxwell. Trump fiercely criticized Europe’s windmill projects and issued a grave warning about illegal immigration, claiming “you won’t have Europe anymore.” He also touted “six of the best months in presidency history.” As always, Trump didn’t hold back—sparking new waves of political reaction across Europe and the U.S. #DonaldTrump #TrumpInScotland #TrumpPressMeet #ScotlandNews #EUTradeDeal #TrumpOnGaza #WindmillsDebate #TrumpVsImmigration #TrumpOnEpstein #UKEUDeal #TrumpOnFrance #TrumpOnIsrael #BreakingNews #TrumpSpeech #TrumpGolfResort #Turnberry #TrumpPressConference #GhislaineMaxwell #TrumpVsMedia #TrumpEurope ~HT.318~ED.346~GR.124~

Thailand-Cambodia War: 100+ Cambodians Killed by Thai Forces | Thai F-16s Dominate Cambodian Skies

Thailand’s border conflict with Cambodia has entered its third day, leaving around 100 Cambodian soldiers dead as Thai forces unleash airstrikes and cluster bombs. Cambodia vows “brutal revenge” and plans to drag Thailand to the UN, accusing it of targeting civilians and violating international law. Heavy fighting continues in the Phra Vihear region, displacing over 100,000 Thai civilians while Cambodian villages face Thai F-16 raids. As rockets and artillery pound strategic sites, ASEAN faces mounting pressure to intervene in the worst border clash in years. #ThailandCambodiaConflict #ThaiCambodiaBorder #PrayForThailand #PrayForCambodia #ASEAN #BorderClash #SoutheastAsia #PreahVihear #TaMuenThom #StandWithThailand #StandWithCambodia #HumanRights #DisplacedCivilians #ThailandNews #CambodiaNews #WorldNews #Geopolitics #InternationalRelations #MilitaryConflict#ViralVideo

US Vs China: ‘Stop Fueling Russia's War…’ US Blasts China | China Fires Back With Explosive Rebuke [Video]

US Vs China: ‘Stop Fueling Russia's War…’ US Blasts China | China Fires Back With Explosive Rebuke

Tensions exploded at the United Nations as the U.S. directly accused China of helping Russia prolong its war in Ukraine. In a fiery address, acting U.S. Ambassador Dorothy Shea demanded Beijing halt all dual-use exports fueling Moscow’s deadly missile and drone strikes. Shea exposed the recurring use of Chinese-made components in Russian weapons despite China’s public denials. Beijing hit back with fury. Chinese deputy U.N. envoy Geng Shuang dismissed the claims, asserting China is not a party to the conflict and has implemented strict export controls. But mounting evidence, including covert Chinese drone engine exports and reports quoting Chinese officials admitting they “cannot afford for Russia to lose,” suggests otherwise. As China and Russia’s wartime partnership deepens, Zelensky has raised the alarm and Putin prepares to visit Beijing in September.

Drowning Prevention Awareness Campaign: A Mission to Save Lives Across India| Oneindia

The Drowning Prevention Awareness campaign, launched on World Drowning Prevention Day (25 July), is a heartfelt initiative by the Hemant Bala Advaitha (HBA) Foundation.

This Drowning Prevention Awareness campaign aims to educate, inform and prevent such avoidable tragedies nationwide. Backed by the WHO and inspired by the UN resolution of 2021, the Drowning Prevention Awareness movement highlights the urgent need for safety, education and community action.

Macron Recognizes Palestinian State, Enrages US, Israel |France Accused of Backing Hamas 'Terrorism' [Video]

Macron Recognizes Palestinian State, Enrages US, Israel |France Accused of Backing Hamas 'Terrorism'

French President Emmanuel Macron has announced that France will officially recognize the State of Palestine in September, sparking fierce backlash from both Israel and the United States. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio condemned the move as “reckless,” while Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu called it “shameful” and accused France of rewarding terrorism. As Macron defends the decision as a step toward peace and an end to the Gaza war, critics argue it signals growing Western support for Palestine and Hamas. Is France challenging U.S.-Israeli dominance in Middle East policy? And will this shift trigger more European nations to follow? The announcement comes amid international outrage over Israel's military campaign in Gaza and a growing death toll. With nearly three-quarters of UN members now backing Palestinian statehood, global pressure on Israel continues to mount. #Macron #FrancePalestine #IsraelPalestine #GazaWar #Hamas #MiddleEastConflict #UNRecognition #TwoStateSolution #BreakingNews #Geopolitics #Netanyahu #USIsrael #PalestineStatehood #EmmanuelMacron ~HT.318~PR.274~ED.346~GR.125~
