Be careful. You're revealing your lack of intelligence

Ireland, Norway and Spain have announced their decision to formally recognise Palestine as a state amid the raging Israel-Hamas war in Gaza. As a result of the decision, the Jewish state has recalled its ambassadors to Ireland and Norway with immediate effect.

On Wednesday, Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz said, "I’m sending a clear and unequivocal message to Ireland and Norway: Israel will not remain silent in the face of those undermining its sovereignty and endangering its security."

He also warned Spain, whose Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said in an announcement today that his nation will also recognise a Palestinian state from May 28, that "a similar step will be taken against it".

"The Irish-Norwegian folly does not deter us; we are determined to achieve our goals: restoring security to our citizens, dismantling Hamas, and bringing the hostages home. There are no more just causes than these," Katz added.

In an address to MPs in Spain's Congress today, Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said, "Echoing the majority sentiment of the Spanish people, next Tuesday, May 28, Spain will approve the recognition of the State of Palestine in the Council of Ministers. The time has come to move from words to action. For peace, justice and coherence."

On his part, Irish Prime Minister Simon Harris said on Wednesday that a "two-State solution is the only credible path to peace and security for Israel, for Palestine and for their peoples".

"Today Ireland recognises the state of Palestine. We believe that recognition will contribute to peace and reconciliation in the Middle East," he added.

Irish Foreign Minister Micheal Martin said the government will "formally recognise the State of Palestine on May 28". "Today, we state clearly our unambiguous support for the equal right to security, dignity, and self-determination for the Palestinian and Israeli peoples," he added.

Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Stoere said today that his nation will recognise an independent Palestinian state in the hope that this will help to bring peace with Israel.

"In the middle of a war, with tens of thousands of dead and injured, we must keep alive the only thing that can provide a safe home for both Israelis and Palestinians: two states that can live in peace with each other," Reuters news agency quoted Stoere as saying at a press conference.

European Union members Slovenia and Malta have also indicated in recent weeks that they plan to make the recognition, arguing a two-state solution is essential for lasting peace in the region.

A total of 143 out of 193 member-states of the UN have recognised a Palestinian state. The UK and the US are among nations that do not formally recognise a Palestinian state.

Israel does not recognise Palestinian statehood and the current Benjamin Netanyahu-led government opposes the creation of a Palestinian state in the West Bank and Gaza. It argues such a state would be a threat to Israel's existence.

Two days ago, chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court announced that he was seeking arrest warrants for both Israeli and Hamas leaders, including Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, for war crimes and crimes against humanity committed in the Gaza offensive since it erupted in October 2023.

On Tuesday, Netanyahu denied allegations that he was starving Palestinians in Gaza as a method of war, calling the court's decision is based on a “pack of lies". “Military action that we take against Hamas is in fact the way to get these hostages because without military pressure, basically, without, you know, squeezing them, Hamas is not going to give up anything,” he told CNN.

Meanwhile, the Pentagon has said in a latest statement that none of the aid unloaded from the US-built temporary pier off Gaza's coast has been delivered to the broader Palestinian population, as Washington works with the UN and Israel to identify safe delivery routes, CNN reported.

Stop lying!

Stop these lies today.

Don't underestimate children. They're not as dumb and impressionable as you'd like to think. There is no way you can manipulate a child that knows his father was present and cares about him.

Tatoos can be some people's way of getting through trauma. It isn't really bad

BrutusOj:
Bros, are you from Benue?

BrutusOj:
I have never heard of fight between igede and idoma same as tiv and idoma. When last did tiv and igede fought?

SmartPolician:
A people that are supposed to be fighting their common enemy - Fulani herdsmen - are busy killing each other!

Namaster:
Let's NUKE Benue and be done with it.

Seems to be EXTREMELY useless.

Herdsmen and bandits line up to kill them like people lining up to collect palliatives. Now they are killing each other and destroying their communities.

Yet the government think the MOST pressing issue is to construct a brewery in the state.

Time to nuke this state.

According to Dr. Ogi John some men from Konshisha LG a boundary community from yesterday night to this morning invaded Imankodi and destroyed farms and k!lled people.

Many are still missing in the bush and others with bullet wounds are currently recieving treatment in different hospitals in Oju LG.

He said: the leadership of Gov Alia is known to be a government that frowns at such attacks and he's calling on the government to rise up and protect lives and properties of Benue citizens in Imankodi, Oju LG. I am equally calling on Hon David A. Ogewu, house committee chairman on Army, Federal House of Representatives Abuja to draw the attention of the Federal Government to this cr!ses.

The farming season is here and we want the government to wade into this matter and restore peace to these warring communities so that they can return back to their farms with immediate effect.

We are calling of the government of Benue State to carry out boundary demarcation which is they easiest way to put an end to these land disputes across the length and breadth of Benue State.

The immediate past Chairman, Disciplinary Committee of Park Manager System, Alhaji Mukaila Lamidi, Aka Auxiliary has been arrested by operatives of the Department of State Services DSS.

My husband and I have been married for 16years and are blessed with 5children. I lost my job about 3years ago. Since then, I have been helping out my husband with his phone case and charger business, I now work at his stores so that we can make ends meet. But since all this economic crisis started when fuel price went up, business has not been so good. We hardly feed talk-less of being able to afford luxuries.

There is a man whose house is not so far from one of the four branches of my husband’s store. The man has been disturbing me for about 5years now. One day, we could not sell a single thing in our store, so on my way home, I thought to call this man to see if he could help with something. He sent me 50,000naira. I was so happy and felt indebted to this man. So a week after, I decided to go thank him at home. His family stay abroad. Omajuwa, I honestly was not planning anything than to thank him o but one thing led to another and we had sex. Since then, this man sends me money randomly. 500k today, 200k tomorrow, 300k next and has since been asking for when next we can see.

I have tried to tell him to stop because what happened was just a mistake. When I told my brother, he said I should just ignore the man and find a way to invest the money and better our lives. I am scared and confused. I have not touched the ones he sent after the 50k, should I ask for his account and send back his money? Should I keep it? Where will I tell my husband I got the money from? Should I tell my husband everything? Hope this man would not run to my husband and ruin my marriage in retaliation? What do I do? Please advise me.
