Palestine to be a NATION-STATE in September? | Mahmoud Abbas likely to make BIG ANNOUNCEMENT at UN

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas is expected to announce a unilateral declaration of Palestinian statehood at the September UN General Assembly, outlining borders and constitutional principles until a full constitution is passed. France, the UK, and other nations signal possible recognition, with President Macron pledging support. Israel’s National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir has condemned the plan, urging Netanyahu to dismantle the PA. The move could mark a turning point in Palestine’s international recognition strategy, but risks sparking intense political backlash. #Palestine #Statehood #MahmoudAbbas #UNGA #France #UK #MiddleEast #Israel #BenGvir #Netanyahu #StateRecognition #BreakingNews #PalestineState #MiddleEastPolitics #PLO #PalestinianAuthority #Macron #InternationalRecognition #Gaza #Diplomacy #PeaceProcess #IsraelPalestine #UNGeneralAssembly #GlobalPolitics #HumanRights #PoliticalBacklash #MiddleEastPeace #PalestineNews #Recognition #TwoStateSolution Also Read France's Recognition of Palestine Could Influence Future Middle East Dynamics :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/france-recognition-state-palestine-middle-east-dynamics-011-7810889.html?ref=DMDesc 'Azad Kashmir', 'Free Palestine' Graffiti At Jadavpur University Triggers Row :: https://www.oneindia.com/kolkata/azad-kashmir-free-palestine-graffiti-at-jadavpur-university-triggers-row-4091993.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Announces Withdrawal From UN Human Rights Body, Halts Funding For Palestinian Refugees :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-announces-withdrawal-from-un-human-rights-body-halts-funding-for-palestinian-refugees-4062559.html?ref=DMDesc

‘Absolutely Possible’: U.S Considering Zelensky Invite To Alaska For Trump–Putin Talks | Reports

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is urgently rallying European leaders ahead of Donald Trump’s high-stakes meeting with Vladimir Putin. Speaking with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, French President Emmanuel Macron, and Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, Zelensky warned of “the danger of Russia’s plan” to force Ukraine into discussing the “impossible” — territorial exchanges that would favor Moscow’s future war ambitions. While Trump is expected to sit down with Putin soon, Zelensky is pushing for maximum coordination with the UK, US, EU, and other allies to secure a “truly lasting peace” and avoid any deal that simply reconfigures the conflict. He also emphasized Ukraine’s progress toward EU membership, warning that Russia has not shifted its stance on ending the war and continues to fuel the fighting. #Trump #Zelensky #Putin #Alaska #Summit #Ukraine #Russia #USPolitics #Geopolitics #Diplomacy #August15 #NBCNews #WhiteHouse #GlobalTensions #USRussia #USUkraine #PoliticalDrama #HighStakes #InternationalRelations #BreakingNews ~HT.178~GR.124~ED.103~

France In Flames: Wildfire Swallows 12,000 Hectares | Kills One, Nine Injured As Thousands Flee

A devastating wildfire is raging through southern France’s Aude department, leaving one woman dead, nine people—including firefighters—injured, and entire communities in peril. The blaze has already consumed up to 12,000 hectares—an area larger than Paris—damaging or destroying 25 homes. Hundreds of firefighters are engaged in a relentless battle, backed by water-dropping aircraft, as strong winds, scorching heat, and bone-dry vegetation fuel the inferno. Prime Minister François Bayrou is due to visit the scene, while President Macron has mobilized all national resources, urging utmost caution. Officials warn the fire is far from contained and will require days of sustained effort to control. Evacuations are underway, roads are closed, and smoke-choked airdays linger over the region. As France grapples with yet another brutal blaze during its drought-stricken summer, the human, environmental, and economic stakes continue to rise—in what experts say is just the beginning of a catastrophic fire season. #FranceWildfire #AudeFire #SouthernFranceBlaze #Wildfire2025 #FranceUnderFire #FrontlineFirefighters #FranceBurns #AudeDepartment #MacronMobilises #BayrouVisits #11KhectaresBurn #MediterraneanFires #ClimateCrisis #HomesLost #OneDeadNineInjured #FranceEmergency #SmokeAlert #FireEvacuations #FranceCrisis #HeatwaveFires ~HT.178~ED.420~GR.122~

Farage dismisses UK-France returns deal

Nigel Farage says the UK-France migrant returns deal “won’t make any difference” and will be blocked by human rights laws. He warned the European Convention on Human Rights would prevent deportations, claiming “lawyers will have a field day”. Farage added that the plan undermines Brexit, saying no one who crosses the Channel illegally should be granted refugee status or leave to remain. Report by Covellm.
