in the past and assembled its troupe Ukrainian borders were without preventive punishment, made him to start full scale war with Ukraine since twenty twenty two, adding that the path to piece for Ukraine must be determined together with Ukraine.

Further details to follow. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Zulensky, in a series of press releases on Saturday, said, I have not heard any partners express doubts about America's ability to

ensure that the war ends. The President of the United States has the leavers and the determination. Sane has supported all of President Trump's proposals, starting back in February ceasefire, all formats have been supported. What is needed now is not a pause in the killings, but a real lasting piece, not a ceasefire sometime in the future, in months, but immediately. President Trump told me so, and I fully support it.

There must be a just end to the war, and it is Russia that must end the war it started Ukraine and all partners shared the same understanding of the need for a cease fire for an end to the killings. There is only one actor opposing this putin. His only card is the ability to kill, and he is trying to sell the cessation of killings at the highest possible price.

dream but a lived reality.

the Middle East. Where Christians are not tolerated, they're cherished, adding, you can like Christmas trees in Nazareth, but in Bethlehem, the birth place of Jesus.

Israel to protect them. Though Prime Minister Benjamin Natanyahoo did not mention the bombing of the Catholic Church in Gaza that led to the killing of three persons and injuring to several people, including the parish priest, it could be recalled that the Israel Defense Forces idf action against the Christian Holy place in Gaza sparked global condemnations, with the head of the Catholic Church, Popelio the fourteenth, in a statement on Sunday, July twentieth, twenty twenty five, while speaking

Thank you Joni, thank you Daystar, thank you Paula, Thank

you ambassadors and the many friends of Israel. In the Christian world, this is the city in the land where it all began, the Judeo Christian tradition that promoted the belief in monotheism, a single God, that developed the idea of the sanctity of life, the sanctity of individual life, the idea of freedom. In an ancient world that was swamped with massive slavery to build these ancient empires, the Jewish people came out with the idea that slavery should

be limited and ultimately removed. This was revolutionary. The beginning of the idea of freedom began in this land, and that idea spread throughout the centuries and especially in modern times, and changed the world. It gives hope to the world.

It gives meaning to our lives.

make any business deal with both countries. In his words, Tramp said, we happen to be, by coincidence, currently dealing on trade with both countries, but do not want to make any deal with either country if they are fighting, and I have told them so. The call with Thailand is being made momentarily. The call with Cambodia has ended, but expect a call back regarding war stoppage and cease fire based on what Thailand has to say. I am

trying to simplify a complex situation. Many people are being killed in this war, but it very much reminds me of the conflict between Pakistan and India, which was brought to a successful hault. The Lao government had on Friday reported that ten bombs were found having been fired into civilian areas and affecting local residents in the Emerald Triangle, a town in law that borders both Lao, Thailand and Cambodia.

casualties or property damage from the incident.

after Hamas attacked Israel, forcing Israel to launch a multifront

wars in Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, Iran and Yemen. This occurred as Russia, that has parts of its territory in Asia, had in twenty twenty two launched a full scale war against its neighbouring European country Ukraine, which the multiple wars have led to millions of deaths, with many in the world expecting an end soon, but while many in the world hope for permanent end to the deadly wars, another fresh war broke out during the week on Thursday in

network of immense financial interests linked to influential groups in Cambodia. Notwithstanding, the Prime Minister of Cambodia Sandek Movaborba thapade han Mane, in a statement called on Cambodians not to attack businesses and citizens of Thailand living in Cambodia, adding that after the Prime Minister of Malaysia and the rotating Chairman of Azian and While Ibraheim intervened in the matter on Thursday, both countries agreed to a cease fire slated to start
