Turkey On HIGH Alert: Syria SHUTS Border With Turkey As Massive Wildfires Rage Just 4KM From Border

Syria has shut the Kassab border crossing with Turkey as massive wildfires edge dangerously close to the Turkish province of Hatay. Sparked amid severe drought and recent sectarian unrest, the fires have destroyed swathes of Syria’s green belt and now threaten cross-border regions. Firefighters from Turkey, Jordan, and Iraq joined Syrian civil defense teams to battle the blaze. With Attera burning just 4 km from the Turkish border, Ankara is on high alert. Officials say the spread is due to extreme heat and wind—not arson. #SyriaWildfires #TurkeyBorder #SyriaCrisis #KassabCrossing #Hatay #MiddleEastNews #RedAlert #FireCrisis #DroughtDisaster #ClimateEmergency #Attera #Zahia #CivilDefense #WildfireAlert #TurkeySyria #RegionalTension #ForestFires #GreenBeltLoss #EnvironmentalDisaster #Firefighters #BorderCrisis #BreakingNews #SyriaTurmoil #ClimateImpact #Deforestation #IllegalLogging #Heatwave #WildfireSpread #EasternMediterranean #CrossBorderThreat Also Read Turkey Arrests LeMan Magazine Editor-in-Chief Over Prophet Mohammed Cartoon :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/turkey-arrests-leman-magazine-editor-in-chief-over-prophet-mohammed-cartoon-7799895.html?ref=DMDesc Syria's Government and Kurdish Forces Still Disagree on Merging Plans After Recent Talks :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/syrias-government-kurds-odds-merging-forces-us-envoy-011-7796579.html?ref=DMDesc Turkey Junks Claims Of Its Involvement In Maintenance Of Crashed Ahmedabad-London Air India Dreamliner :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/turkey-junks-claims-of-its-involvement-in-maintenance-of-crashed-ahmedabad-london-air-india-dreamlin-4182063.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.102~

Trump & Netanyahu Discuss New Ways of 'THROWING' Gazans out of Palestine at White House Dinner [Video]

Trump & Netanyahu Discuss New Ways of 'THROWING' Gazans out of Palestine at White House Dinner

On July 7, 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump hosted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House for a private dinner, where they discussed a controversial proposal to relocate Palestinians from Gaza. The plan, dubbed the "free choice" initiative, suggests that Palestinians could choose to leave Gaza for other countries. Netanyahu emphasized that Israel and the U.S. are working with other nations to offer Palestinians a "better future." However, neighboring countries like Egypt and Jordan have firmly rejected the idea, citing concerns over regional stability and sovereignty. This proposal has sparked widespread criticism, with many viewing it as a form of ethnic cleansing disguised as a humanitarian solution. #Trump #Netanyahu #Gaza #Palestinians #RelocationPlan #MiddleEast #InternationalLaw #HumanRights #EthnicCleansing #PeaceProcess

BREAKING: Cambodia SHUTS Airspace | Biggest Air Attack On Thailand Any Moment On Day 3

Cambodia has closed its airspace over regions bordering Thailand following intense military clashes, citing a major threat to commercial aviation from heavy weapons. The country’s State Secretariat of Civil Aviation (SSCA) has instructed airlines to reroute flights away from the danger zone, especially between Siem Reap and Pailin, where Thai military operations have intensified. While international flights are not canceled, rerouted paths now avoid potentially volatile skies. SSCA spokesperson Sin Jansriwuttha highlighted risks posed by Thailand’s military escalation, warning that further restrictions could be enforced if conflict intensifies. The airspace ban impacts key flight corridors from the Middle East to Southeast Asia, including routes from Thailand, China, and the Philippines. Cambodian authorities emphasize this is a preemptive safety measure based on lessons from global conflict zones, assuring that air travel remains operational—just more cautious. The situation remains fluid with potential for more stringent aviation controls. #Cambodia #Thailand #AirspaceClosure #BorderConflict #FlightDiversion #AviationAlert #CambodiaThailandTension #SSCA #MilitaryClash #AirTravelWarning #AsiaConflict #SiemReap #Pailin #ThailandMilitary #FlightReroute #AsiaFlights #BreakingNews #PhnomPenhPost #GeopoliticalTension #AviationSafety ~HT.410~ED.102~GR.124~

Kremlin’s Most SHOCKING Move Yet? Backs France’s Recognition of Palestine |Defies Trump & Netanyahu [Video]

Kremlin’s Most SHOCKING Move Yet? Backs France’s Recognition of Palestine |Defies Trump & Netanyahu

In a dramatic global twist, Russia has declared full support for Palestinian statehood, with Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov reaffirming Moscow's long-standing commitment to a two-state solution. The statement comes on the heels of French President Emmanuel Macron’s bombshell announcement that France will recognize Palestine at the upcoming UN General Assembly in September — making it the first major Western power to do so. Russia, which adopted Palestine’s 1988 declaration of independence under the USSR, insists that peace in the Middle East hinges on UN Security Council resolutions and the establishment of a sovereign Palestinian state. Macron’s decision has enraged Israel and the U.S., with Netanyahu calling it a “reward for terror” and Secretary of State Marco Rubio labeling it “reckless.” Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia and Spain have praised the move, calling it “historic.” Over 59,000 Palestinians have died in the ongoing Gaza war, intensifying the global demand for Palestinian recognition. #Russia #Palestine #Israel #France #Macron #UN #TwoStateSolution #MiddleEastConflict #Kremlin #PalestinianStatehood #GazaWar #Netanyahu #MarcoRubio #USIsraelTensions #UNRecognition #WorldNews #GlobalDiplomacy #EastJerusalem #WestBank #PalestineRecognition

BREAKING: Trump Starts Another War? Western Fighter Jets Roar Through Thailand To Pound Cambodia

Western Gripen fighter jets — believed to be Swedish-made and NATO-linked — reportedly thundered through Thai airspace to carry out strikes on Cambodian military positions. The alleged aerial bombardment marks a dramatic new phase in the escalating Thailand-Cambodia conflict over the disputed Preah Vihear region. Unconfirmed reports suggest U.S. backing for Thailand’s military posture — raising questions about Donald Trump's growing global military footprint. After igniting an inferno in the Middle East with Israel-Iran tensions, is Trump now fueling a second front in Southeast Asia? Meanwhile, Kremlin sources have gone quiet, and ASEAN is scrambling to contain what could spiral into a full-blown regional war. Macron has demanded de-escalation. Zelensky has called for urgent talks. But Trump? He’s reportedly “watching the situation closely.” Will this be another proxy war with global players lurking in the shadows? #ThailandCambodiaConflict #GripenJets #TrumpWar #AsiaWarZone #PreahVihear #CambodiaUnderAttack #ThailandAirstrikes #USProxyWar #WesternJets #TrumpAsiaPolicy #SoutheastAsiaWar #BreakingNewsAsia #MilitaryEscalation #ThaiCambodianTensions #JetStrikesCambodia #NATOInAsia #SaabGripen #TrumpWarmonger #CambodiaCrisis #WW3Fears
