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

‘DISMANTLE Palestinian Authority!!’ Israel’s EXPLOSIVE Warning Ahead of UN General Assembly Of Sept [Video]

‘DISMANTLE Palestinian Authority!!’ Israel’s EXPLOSIVE Warning Ahead of UN General Assembly Of Sept

Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir has called on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to take “immediate” steps to topple the Palestinian Authority (PA). In a fiery statement, Ben Gvir said this was the only suitable response to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas’s reported plan to unilaterally declare a Palestinian state during the UN General Assembly in September. He labeled Abbas a “terrorist” and the PA a “terror authority,” demanding its dismantling without delay. His comments follow reports from Al-Arabi Al-Jadeed that Abbas is preparing a bold diplomatic move as several nations prepare to recognize Palestinian statehood during the UN gathering in New York. The push comes amid escalating tensions in the region, as far-right Israeli leaders push for aggressive measures against Palestinian political leadership. Netanyahu has yet to respond publicly, but the call adds pressure on Israel’s cabinet to take a definitive stance ahead of the high-profile international event. #BenGvir #Netanyahu #PalestinianAuthority #Israel #Palestine #MahmoudAbbas #UNGA #Statehood #MiddleEast #BreakingNews #Politics #Diplomacy #UN #Jerusalem #Gaza #WestBank #FarRight #IsraelPolitics #PeaceProcess #InternationalRelations.

‘Hamas Can…’ Canada’s BIG Announcement For Palestine |Israel SLAMS Canada For ‘Distorted Campaign’ [Video]

‘Hamas Can…’ Canada’s BIG Announcement For Palestine |Israel SLAMS Canada For ‘Distorted Campaign’

In a seismic shift in foreign policy, Canada has announced it will formally recognise the State of Palestine at the 80th UN General Assembly session in September 2025. Prime Minister Mark Carney declared the move essential to preserve hopes of a two-state solution—calling current efforts "eroded before our eyes." The decision follows similar recognitions by France and the UK, creating a powerful bloc pushing for Palestinian statehood. However, Carney made the recognition conditional—insisting on PA reforms, 2026 elections excluding Hamas, and full demilitarisation. Israel has blasted the decision, calling it a "distorted campaign of international pressure" and warning it legitimises Hamas's October 7 atrocities. Palestinian President Mahmud Abbas hailed the move as “historic.” The tension between international recognition and Israeli resistance could reshape global diplomacy on the conflict. #Canada #Palestine #Israel #UNGeneralAssembly #TwoStateSolution #MarkCarney #PalestinianState #Gaza #Hamas #Abbas #MiddleEast #IsraelPalestine #PeaceProcess #UNGA2025 #France #UK #Ottawa #Jerusalem #Diplomacy #BreakingNews Also Read Far-Right Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir's Visit to Jerusalem Site Stirs Controversy :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/far-right-minister-itamar-ben-gvir-controversial-visit-jerusalem-011-3831673.html?ref=DMDesc Israel's First Reaction On Ireland And Norway Over Recognition Of Palestinian State :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israels-first-reaction-on-ireland-and-norway-over-recognition-of-palestinian-state-3831297.html?ref=DMDesc Biden hails Australia as "anchor to peace and prosperity" in the Pacific :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/biden-hails-australia-as-anchor-to-peace-and-prosperity-in-the-pacific-gen-3667943.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.102~GR.124~

‘Dark Days Ahead…’ Houthis Issue Big Warning To Netanyahu After Israeli Strike Killed PM Al-Rahawi

The war in West Asia has entered a chilling new phase. Mohammad al-Bukhaiti, senior leader of Yemen’s Ansar Allah movement, declared that Israel will “pay the price” for its aggression, following the martyrdom of Yemen’s Prime Minister Ahmed al-Rahawi and several ministers in a deadly strike. Speaking to Al Mayadeen, al-Bukhaiti emphasized that retaliation is inevitable, stressing, “Our actions will precede our words.” He reaffirmed that the liberation of Palestine remains Yemen’s foremost cause and vowed continued support for Gaza despite the heavy sacrifices. The Ansar Allah Political Bureau also issued a statement mourning fallen Yemeni leaders and warning Tel Aviv of looming consequences. Yemen’s message is clear: its strikes have already punished the US and Britain, and now Israel will face similar retribution. With tensions rising, the region braces for what Ansar Allah promises will be dark days for Israel. #Israel #Yemen #AnsarAllah #Palestine #Gaza #Hamas #Hezbollah #WarInMiddleEast #Houthis #IDF #Iran #Lebanon #Sanaa #BreakingNews #WestAsiaConflict #ResistanceAxis #US #Britain #IsraelWar #Retaliation

U.S-Venezuela Full Scale War Soon? U.S Warships Crosses Panama Canal As Venezuele Mobilizes Tanks [Video]

U.S-Venezuela Full Scale War Soon? U.S Warships Crosses Panama Canal As Venezuele Mobilizes Tanks

A U.S. missile cruiser has crossed the Panama Canal, heading toward the Caribbean in what many fear is a prelude to a wider conflict with Venezuela. The USS Lake Erie entered the canal late Friday night and began its eight-hour journey toward the Atlantic, joining a massive U.S. naval deployment near Venezuelan waters. Washington has already stationed eight warships, thousands of Marines, and even a nuclear submarine close to Venezuela’s coast. While U.S. officials claim the mission is aimed at combating drug cartels, critics say the overwhelming firepower suggests a hidden regime change agenda. Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro has defiantly warned that the United States cannot invade his country, mobilizing 15,000 troops, drones, and naval assets in response. Caracas’s UN envoy mocked Washington, declaring: “No one fights drug cartels with nuclear submarines.” With the U.S. doubling its bounty on Maduro to $50 million, tensions are nearing breaking point. #USNavy #Venezuela #Maduro #PanamaCanal #USS LakeErie #NuclearSubmarine #CaribbeanCrisis #USWarships #BreakingNews #Washington #Caracas #MilitaryDeployment #LatinAmerica #DrugCartels #ImperialistThreat #VenezuelaCrisis #Geopolitics #RegimeChange #Warships #Conflict ~ED.102~HT.408~
