After watching a clip of the incident, who you should be praising is the Ibom crew member who was being slapped yet, didn't fight back.

SenatorCharles1:
Would she had been stripped naked if she'd behaved herself? Parents like you should teach your children and wards to not take laws into their own hands even in the face of severe provocation

A lifetime ban was excessive in my opinion, she could challenge it in court and get it reduced.

On the other hand, she may have a potential case of illegal detention which triggered her reactions. Airline crew are not police or law enforcement, they can't detain a passenger unless they're actively trying to protect other passengers and preventing a security threat. In this case, the plane had landed and passengers had disembarked. They should've alerted airport security to arrest her. In fact, detaining her inside a parked airplane could even be a potential risk to her life.

That said, the law usually frowns at people who create their own preventable problems. She could lose the argument about being a victim if the court determines she caused the problem.

SenatorCharles1:
Was she the only passenger onboard the airline? Why were other passengers not given the same treatment?

SenatorCharles1:
You guys should just stop this nonsense about support people that lack home training

helinus, try to be reasonable for once.

Forget Peter Obi for a bit before you choke on this obsession.

Australia will recognise a Palestinian state at the UN General Assembly in September, following similar moves by the UK, France and Canada, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has said.

Albanese said Australia received commitments from the Palestinian Authority (PA) including to demilitarise, hold general elections and continue to recognise Israel's right to exist.

"A two-state solution is humanity's best hope to break the cycle of violence in the Middle East and to bring an end to the conflict, suffering and starvation in Gaza," he said on Monday.

Israel, under increasing pressure to end the war in Gaza, has said recognising a Palestinian state "rewards terrorism".

Since Saturday, five people have died as a result of starvation and malnutrition in Gaza, bringing the total number to 217 deaths, according to the Hamas-run health ministry.

It also said that in total more than 61,000 people have been killed as a result of Israel's military campaign since 2023.

Israel launched its offensive in response to the Hamas-led attack on 7 October that year, in which about 1,200 people were killed and 251 others were taken hostage.

The Palestinian Authority, which controls parts of the Israeli-occupied West Bank, earlier said recognition of statehood shows growing support for self-determination of its people.

Albanese said the decision was made after his government received commitments from Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas that Hamas would play no role in any future state.

The move also comes after conversations with his counterparts in the UK, France, New Zealand, and Japan over the past fortnight, Albanese said.

"There is a moment of opportunity here, and Australia will work with the international community to seize it," he told the media.

Last Sunday, a pro-Palestinian protest drew tens of thousands of supporters who walked across Sydney Harbour Bridge, a day after a court ruling allowed the demonstration to happen.

The US has stated it will not follow suit and believes that recognising Palestinian statehood would be rewarding Hamas.

Over the weekend, US Vice-President JD Vance reiterated the US had no plans to recognise a Palestinian state, citing a lack of functional government.

At a press conference on Sunday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu criticised countries planning to recognise Palestinian statehood.

"To have European countries and Australia march into that rabbit hole… it is disappointing - and I think it's actually shameful," he said.

"They know what they would do if, right next to Melbourne or right next to Sydney, you had this horrific attack. I think you would do at least what we're doing."

Israel has come under fire in recent days over its plans to take over Gaza City, with UN ambassadors condemning the move which Netanyahu says is the "best way" to end the war.

Last year, Spain, Ireland and Norway formally recognised Palestine as a state, in the hopes it would encourage a ceasefire between Hamas and Israel.

The state of Palestine is currently recognised by 147 of the UN's 193 member states.

At the UN, it has the status of a "permanent observer state", allowing participation but no voting rights.

Go and help the President arrest him since you know his job more than he. Many of you constitute nuisance on social media.

Adblg0610:
It’s not a forceful takeover, part of the statement announced by Bayo Onanuga stated as follows: “To prevent a leadership vacuum at the commission, the President directed Ramat to assume office in an acting capacity pending Senate screening, in line with legal provisions.“ Garba Ramat has acted in full compliance with the instructions contained in the statement of appointment, in order to prevent a vacuum.

So they even need to be petitioned to do their job? DSS was even supposed to step into this matter as this happened in the nation’s capital and it was a highly sensitive matter. If this issue is handled appropriately, K1 may be on a no-fly list locally and internationally for a very long time.

By the way I think it was fair to suspend the pilot unless he was cleared to take off and had no idea K1 was there. This incident could’ve turned out badly for K1 and the passengers. That flight should’ve been delayed, K1 arrested and removed from the runway, before take off.
