Comedian Kapil Sharma’s café in Surrey, Canada, was attacked by Khalistani terrorists on July 9. At least nine shots were fired at the café in a shocking nighttime drive-by assault. No injuries were reported. Babbar Khalsa-linked terrorist Harjit Singh Laddi claimed responsibility, citing an old remark by Sharma.

Trump’s Nobel Buzz EXPLODES As Armenia, Azerbaijan, Israel & Pak Unite In Global Peace Prize Push

In an unprecedented show of global consensus, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Israel, Pakistan, and Cambodia have all backed U.S. President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize. Armenia’s Nikol Pashinyan and Azerbaijan’s Ilham Aliyev jointly credited Trump for brokering a landmark peace deal ending decades of conflict in the South Caucasus, calling him a “peacemaker.” The agreement includes a U.S.-controlled transit corridor — the “Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity” — linking Azerbaijan to its Nakhchivan exclave through Armenia. Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu, Pakistan’s government, and Cambodia’s Hun Manet also nominated Trump, citing his role in defusing conflicts from the Middle East to South Asia. The White House hailed the deal as a setback for China, Russia, and Iran. With multiple nations — some rivals — rallying behind him, Trump’s Nobel push has become one of the most talked-about diplomatic developments of the year. #Trump #NobelPeacePrize #Armenia #Azerbaijan #Israel #Pakistan #Cambodia #PeaceDeal #SouthCaucasus #USDiplomacy #MiddleEast #NagornoKarabakh #Aliyev #Pashinyan #Netanyahu #HunManet #GlobalPolitics #WorldLeaders #TrumpNobel #PeaceTalks ~HT.318~ED.103~

BREAKING: Cambodia To Nominate Trump For Nobel Peace Prize After Brokering Ceasefire With Thailand

Cambodia is set to nominate U.S. President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, crediting his pivotal role in negotiating a ceasefire between Cambodia and Thailand after a deadly five-day border conflict. Cambodia’s Deputy Prime Minister Sun Chanthol hailed Trump’s “great efforts for peace,” saying his intervention — including threats to pull out of trade talks — forced both Southeast Asian nations to come to the negotiating table. The ceasefire, brokered in Malaysia, ended the region’s worst violence in over a decade, which left at least 43 people dead and displaced over 300,000. Trump said the war “would have turned nasty,” but was halted by leveraging trade diplomacy. This marks Trump’s third recent Nobel recommendation, following nominations by Israel and Pakistan for mediating other global crises. The Cambodian leader also praised Trump for reducing tariffs on Cambodian exports, sparing the nation’s garment and footwear sector from economic collapse. #Trump #Cambodia #Thailand #NobelPeacePrize #TrumpNobelNomination #Ceasefire #BorderConflict #CambodiaThailandWar #PeaceDeal #TrumpDiplomacy #Geopolitics #TrumpPeaceEfforts #CambodiaConflict #TradeWar #Trump2025 #AsiaNews #MalaysiaMediation #Netanyahu #GazaHostages #GlobalPolitics ~HT.410~ED.102~GR.124~

Slovenia Break Ranks:1st EU Nation to BAN All Arms to Israel Amid Gaza War—Europe Against Netanyahu?

Slovenia has made history as the first EU country to impose a full ban on arms imports, exports, and transit to Israel amid the escalating humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Prime Minister Robert Golob boldly declared that responsible nations must act—even if it means stepping ahead of others to uphold international law. This move exposes the European Union’s failure to take concrete measures against Israel’s blockade and ongoing war crimes, which have killed over 60,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children. As Slovenia plans further sanctions, will other EU countries follow and challenge Israel’s brutal military campaign? Dive into this explosive shift in European policy and the mounting pressure on Israel’s government. #Slovenia #Israel #GazaCrisis #EU #ArmsBan #WarCrimes #HumanRights #Palestine #MiddleEastConflict #InternationalLaw #RobertGolob #StopTheWar #GlobalPolitics Also Read Thailand and Cambodia Agree On Ceasefire After Deadly Border Clashes :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/thailand-and-cambodia-agree-on-ceasefire-after-deadly-border-clashes-7812189.html?ref=DMDesc India Issues Travel Advisory As Thailand-Cambodia Border Clashes Turn Deadly :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/india-issues-travel-advisory-as-thailand-cambodia-border-clashes-turn-deadly-7811161.html?ref=DMDesc Who Is Wilawan Emsawat?
