'Give Donald Trump The Nobel Peace Prize': Israel's Netanyahu Uses AI To Bestow Honour On US Prez

Tel Aviv [Israel], October 9 (ANI): Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday praised United States President Donald Trump, saying he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize. In a post on X, the Israeli Prime Minister wrote, "Give @realDonaldTrump the Nobel Peace Prize - he deserves it!" The post was accompanied by a photograph showing President Trump standing with raised arms amid applause, confetti, and Israeli flags, with a backdrop reading "Peace Through Strength." The image quickly gained attention online, drawing widespread engagement and reactions, coming just weeks after President Trump addressed the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly on September 23, where he declared that within seven months of his presidency, he had achieved what many thought impossible. Give @realDonaldTrump the Nobel Peace Prize - he deserves it! 🏅 pic.twitter.com/Hbuc7kmPt1 — Prime Minister of Israel (@IsraeliPM) October 9, 2025 He asserted that he had ended seven "unendable" wars and reiterated his claim of having helped broker a truce between India and Pakistan earlier this year. "In just 7 months, I have ended 7 unendable wars," Trump told world leaders. "They said they were unendable, some were going for 31 years, one was 36 years. I ended 7 wars, and in all cases they were raging with countless thousands of people being killed." The US President listed the conflicts he said were brought to a close under his watch, citing Cambodia and Thailand, Serbia, the Congo and Rwanda, Pakistan and India, Israel and Iran, Egypt and Ethiopia, and Armenia and Azerbaijan. Trump has repeatedly linked his claims at the UNGA with remarks he made earlier this week in Washington. On September 21, while speaking at the American Cornerstone Institute Founder's Dinner, he again asserted that he played a role in "stopping wars," including between India and Pakistan, and even suggested he should be honoured with the Nobel Prize for "ending seven wars." "We are forging peace agreements, and we are stopping wars. So we stopped wars between India and Pakistan, Thailand and Cambodia," Trump said at the event. Expanding on his claim, he added, "Think of India and Pakistan. Think of that. And you know how I stopped that -- with trade. They want to trade. And I have great respect for both leaders. But when you take a look at all of these wars that we've stopped." At the same event, Trump listed conflicts he said were halted under his leadership, including "Armenia, Azerbaijan, Kosovo and Serbia, Israel and Iran, Egypt and Ethiopia, Rwanda and the Congo." "Just look at that. India, Pakistan, Thailand, Cambodia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Kosovo and Serbia, Israel and Iran, Egypt and Ethiopia, Rwanda and the Congo. We stopped all of them. And 60 per cent of them were stopped because of trade," he stated. He further claimed that his pressure had been decisive. "Like with India, I said, 'Look, we're not going to do any trade if you're going to fight and they have nuclear weapons. They stopped." Turning to the war in Ukraine, Trump linked the conflict to his broader claim of being a peacemaker. "I said, 'Well, what about the seven others? I should get a Nobel Prize for each one'. So they said, 'but if you stop Russia and Ukraine, sir, you should be able to get the Nobel'. I said I stopped seven wars. That's one war, and that's a big one," he told the gathering. Trump said he initially believed the conflict would be easier to resolve because of his ties with Moscow. "Because I have a good relationship with President Putin, disappointed in him, but I do. I thought that would be the easiest one, but we'll get it done one way or the other," he said. He suggested energy prices were directly linked to ending the war. "... That (oil drilling) will automatically stop the war with Russia and Ukraine; you get the prices down a little bit more, that's got to stop it. I am very disappointed in President Putin. Anywhere between 5000-7000 people are dying every week..." Reiterating his criticism of Moscow, Trump said the Russian president had failed to meet expectations. "He has let me down. I mean, he's killing many people and he's losing more people than he's, you know, than he's killing. I mean, frankly, Russian soldiers are being killed at a higher rate than the Ukrainian soldiers," Trump said at a press conference with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer. The president acknowledged the limits of his influence, admitting, "Even though I thought that the Russia-Ukraine war would be the 'easiest' one to solve, it was not the case." He insisted, however, that the war would not have begun had he been in office. "This was a thing that would have never happened had I been president. If I were president, it would have never happened. And it didn't happen for four years. Most people agree it didn't happen, nor was it close to happening," he stated. Trump also recalled his past diplomatic outreach, referring to his summit with Putin in Alaska, where he urged the Russian leader to engage directly with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. He said despite those efforts, "a peace deal did not materialise." The conflict has continued since then. In February 2022, Russia launched a large-scale invasion of Ukraine, aiming to "demilitarise and denazify" the country, according to President Vladimir Putin. The Russia-Ukraine conflict, which began with Moscow's annexation of Crimea in 2014, escalated into a full-scale war in 2022. Fighting has continued with Ukrainian counteroffensives alongside Russian gains in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions. In August 2024, Ukraine launched an incursion into Russia's Kursk Oblast, capturing territory and prisoners. (ANI) (This report has been published as part of the auto-generated syndicate wire feed.

World Mental Health Day 2025 – Breaking The Silence: How Public Figures Are Destigmatising Mental Health

World Mental Health Day 2025: In today’s fast-paced world, mental health has emerged as a crucial aspect of overall well-being. Yet, stigma and silence have often prevented people from seeking help. Celebrities, by courageously sharing their own struggles, are challenging these misconceptions and inspiring millions. Their stories and admissions of battling mental health issues remind us that vulnerability is not weakness, and seeking support is a sign of strength. Michelle Obama: “When it comes to mental health conditions, we often treat them differently from other diseases like cancer, diabetes or asthma. And that makes no sense. Whether an illness affects your heart, your leg or your brain, it’s still an illness, and there should be no distinction. Because we know that mental health is just as important to our overall well-being as our physical health.” – Remarks by the then First Lady of the US at the “Change Direction” Mental Health Event, White House (March 4, 2015). Simone Biles: “We have to protect our mind and our body, rather than just go out there and do what the world wants us to do… Mental health is just as important as physical health.” – NBC News interview following her withdrawal from the Tokyo Olympics team final (July 28, 2021). Demi Lovato: “You don’t have to struggle in silence. You can be un-silent. You can live well with a mental health condition, as long as you open up to somebody about it, because it’s really important you share your experience with people so that you can get the help that you need.” – Interview with The Cut magazine (February 24, 2017), discussing the Be Vocal documentary. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson: “I found that with depression, one of the most important things you can realize is that you’re not alone. You’re not the first to go through it, you’re not gonna be the last to go through it.” – Oprah’s Master Class on OWN (aired November 2015), as reported by TODAY. Lady Gaga: “There is a lot of shame attached to mental illness, but it’s important that you know that there is hope and a chance for recovery.” – Open letter on the Born This Way Foundation website, disclosing her PTSD diagnosis (December 5, 2016). Kristen Bell: “Now, after seeking help, I can see that those thoughts, of course, couldn’t have been more wrong… There’s nothing weak about struggling with mental illness.” – Essay in Time magazine, “I’m Over Staying Silent About Depression”. Selena Gomez: “I was equal parts terrified and relieved [when I was diagnosed] – terrified because the veil was lifted but relieved that I finally had the knowledge of why I had suffered with various depressions and anxieties for so many years… When I have more information, it actually helps me, it doesn’t scare me once I know it.” – Acceptance speech at McLean Hospital’s Annual Dinner for mental health advocacy (September 26, 2019), as reported by ABC News. Prince Harry: “The experience that I have is that once you start talking about it [a mental illness], you suddenly realize that actually, you’re part of quite a big club.” – Interview with The Telegraph (April 17, 2017), discussing his mental health journey post the death of Lady Diana. Taraji P. Henson: “I think it’s really important for [my kids] to know to not be ashamed of seeking help or taking medication… any of those things that can reset your mental health… That’s why I like talking about this because I feel like there’s still a stigma.” – Interview on Good Morning America (October 2024). Miley Cyrus: “There’s not much that I’m closed off about, and the universe gave me all that so I could help people feel like they don’t have to be something they’re not or feel like they have to fake happy. There’s nothing worse than being fake happy.” – Interview with Elle magazine (March 2014). Why Talking About Mental Health Matters As these stories show, vulnerability is strength, and seeking support is essential. If you’re struggling, remember: you’re not alone, and resources like therapy or hotlines can make a real difference. The messages from these public figures underscore one universal truth: mental health matters, and no one should feel alone in their journey. By talking about their experiences, they not only humanize the challenges but also empower others to prioritise their well-being, seek help, and embrace recovery without shame. After all, acknowledging and nurturing our mental health is not just a personal choice—it’s a societal responsibility.

UK Universities Expand To India As Lancaster, Surrey Get Nod Amid Education Boom

New Delhi, Oct 9 (PTI) University of Lancaster and University of Surrey have received the nod to set up campuses in India, announced UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer during his first visit to India. The approval of the two universities takes the number of institutions from the UK setting up offshore campuses in India to nine. While the University of Southampton opened a campus in Delhi earlier this year, University of York, University of Aberdeen, University of Bristol, University of Liverpool, Queen's University Belfast and the University of Coventry will open campuses from next year onwards. According to a statement by the British High Commission here, Prime Minister Starmer has confirmed that the University of Lancaster and the University of Surrey have been given approval to open new campuses in India to help meet their booming demand for higher education places. Currently, there are 40 million students at university in India and 70 million places are needed by 2035. The UK's world-renowned higher education sector is capitalising on that demand by giving thousands of Indian students the chance to study for a UK degree without leaving home – while bolstering India's economy by millions of pounds. With the new campuses announced on Thursday, the UK is set to become a country with the biggest higher education footprint in India. Starmer and India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi celebrated the milestone in a meeting with UK vice chancellors in Mumbai on Thursday. The UK prime minister is on a two-day trade mission to strengthen ties with one of the fastest-growing economies in the world and put money back into the pockets of hard-working British people. "Our great British universities are admired all over the world for their teaching excellence, high-quality research and commitment to innovation. I am delighted that more Indian students will be able to benefit from a world-class British education in the near future -- strengthening the ties between our two countries while pumping millions back into our economy and supporting jobs at home," Starmer said. UK Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson said that the British higher education is world-leading, and this expansion shows its global appeal. "Opening new campuses in India will give more young people the chance to benefit from a UK education, while delivering real returns for our universities at home. As we prepare to set out our International Education Strategy, these new campuses are a marker of our ambition: building long-term partnerships that deliver growth, innovation and opportunity for both countries," said Phillipson. The University Grants Commission (UGC) had announced the Setting Up and Operation of Campuses of Foreign Higher Educational Institutions in India Regulations in 2023. The University of Southampton became the first foreign university to set up its campus in India under the regulations.

Nepal Gen Z Activists Arrested For Demanding Arrest Of Ousted PM Oli

Kathmandu, Oct 9 (PTI) Nepal Police on Thursday arrested 18 activists belonging to the ‘Gen Z’ group, including Dr Nicholous Bhusal, who were protesting at Maitighar here demanding the arrest of deposed prime minister K P Sharma Oli and then home minister Ramesh Lekhak. The protest by a faction of the Gen Z group marked the first month of the protests against corruption and a government ban on social media sites. Thousands of youths under the banner of Gen Z group staged anti-government protests in Kathmandu on September 8 and 9 in which 76 people were killed. Bhusal and fellow demonstrator Surendra Gharti were taken into custody as they staged protests amidst tight security by riot policemen. Authorities had tightened security in and around Maitighar ahead of the protests. The protesters said they staged the demonstration because the government had failed to meet the Gen Z’s demands despite the formation of the caretaker government led by Sushila Karki. Their major demands were the arrests of Oli and Lekhak, whom they held responsible for the mass killing. The government has formed a three-member probe commission headed by former justice Gauri Bahadur Karki to investigate into the excessive use of force to crush the Gen Z movement. Separately, dozens of youths gathered in front of the Parliament building on Thursday at Naya Baneshwor area of Kathmandu and lit candles in memory of those who died during the Gen Z protests. Relatives of those killed in the Gen Z movement and the Gen Z youths participated in the candle light demonstration. Nineteen protesters were killed during the police firing on September 8, the first day of the Gen Z protests. In total, 76 people were killed during the two-day protests on September 8 and 9. The security personnel indiscriminately opened fire on the youths who staged protests on September 8, demanding an end to corruption and lifting a government ban on social media. On the second day, more violent protests were witnessed in which more people died and many important government offices were set on fire, leading to the ouster of the Oli government. The caretaker government led by former chief justice Karki replaced Oli on September 12 and President Ramchandra Paudel dissolved the Parliament and announced fresh election of the House of Representatives on March 5 next year.  (Disclaimer: This report has been published as part of the auto-generated syndicate wire feed.

As Israel and Hamas agreed to the first phase of a Gaza peace plan, US President Donald Trump said that the US “ended the war in Gaza”, hailing the development as a “momentous breakthrough” that he hopes will usher in a “lasting, hopefully everlasting, peace.” Speaking at a cabinet meeting in the White House, Trump said, “October 7 was terrible, but Hamas probably lost about 70,000 people, but this whole thing had to stop. Gaza is to be redone. You have tremendous wealth in that part of the world by certain countries… you will be seeing some tremendous countries stepping up, putting up a lot of money, and taking care of things.” Trump Credits Strike On Iran For Paving Way To Peace In Gaza The US President linked the peace process to earlier military actions, asserting that the strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities in June was a turning point. “Just everything came together, I think the attack was very important on Iran, because if that hadn’t happened, then probably by now there would have been nuclear weapons… but now Iran wants to work on peace. We’ll work with Iran,” Trump said, as quoted by news agency PTI. He went on to thank the leaders of Qatar, Egypt, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Indonesia, adding, “I express my gratitude to leaders of Qatar, Egypt, Turkey for helping us reach this special day… President Erdogan was involved, they’ve been amazing, Indonesia was amazing.” Trump also revealed that Iran had expressed support for the peace deal, stating, “We’d like to build their country too.” VIDEO | As Israel-Hamas accepted first phase of Gaza peace plan, US President Donald Trump (@realDonaldTrump) says, "Just everything came together, I think the attack was very important on Iran, because if that hadn't happened, then probably by now there would have been nuclear… pic.twitter.com/cRoFpe3b67 — Press Trust of India (@PTI_News) October 9, 2025 Gaza to be ‘slowly redone’, says Trump According to the BBC, Trump told his cabinet that Gaza would be “slowly redone” by wealthy nations in the region. “What they [those countries] make will do wonders for Gaza.

He added that he would travel to Egypt for an official signing ceremony, though a visit to Gaza has been reportedly ruled out. BBC further reported that Trump would also make a stop in Israel, with trip details remaining fluid. Rubio, Saar hail ‘historic’ peace milestone US Secretary of State Marco Rubio praised Trump’s leadership, saying at the meeting that the president’s rapport with global leaders made the peace deal possible. “It will go down as a historic moment in the history of our country and something that our country should be very proud of — that we have a President that’s committed to not just peace, but to the human aspect of reuniting these families,” he said, drawing applause from cabinet members. .@SecRubio on the Gaza Peace Deal: "It will go down as a historic moment in the history of our country and something that our country should be very proud of — that we have a President that's committed to not just peace, but to the human aspect of reuniting these families." pic.twitter.com/Zf6M5SS3Vn — Rapid Response 47 (@RapidResponse47) October 9, 2025 Rubio also noted that Trump’s September meeting with Arab and Muslim leaders at the UN General Assembly had helped form a coalition backing the plan. “The result… is that the hostages will emerge from the darkness into the light,” he added.

Public broadcaster Kan reported that Israel’s cabinet meeting to approve the Gaza ceasefire had been delayed to 8 PM local time. Meanwhile, Trump reiterated his claim the US had “settled seven wars, or major conflicts, but wars,” adding, “This is number eight. The one that I thought would be maybe the quickest of all would be Russia-Ukraine. I think that’s going to happen, too.” He remarked, “At some point, that whole thing has to stop. We’re going to see to it.”
