00:00 Good morning.
00:02 We start the international press conference with a review in the Areds on the Israeli
00:10 modus operandi to silence Palestinian defenders of human rights.
00:15 This starts with a observation.
00:17 Since 1967, Israeli governments have admitted that violations of international law and
00:22 human rights of Palestinians are essential to maintain the occupation.
00:26 After all, Bezalel Smotric, the Israeli minister with the most authority on the occupation,
00:32 shamelessly proclaims that Palestinians in Jordan must be permanently subordinated to
00:39 Israel without the slightest respect for their human rights.
00:42 Thus, instead of trying to find a global solution to the conflict, human rights defenders
00:48 must focus on each specific problem, such as the expulsion of Palestinians or the demolition
00:54 of houses and schools.
00:56 Let's focus on the Arab League summit.
00:59 I read in the JDD that the Lebanese Prime Minister tried to get financial help.
01:04 Lebanon is plunged into an abysmal crisis, hosting 1.5 million Syrian refugees, but
01:09 Najib Mikati's task has become almost impossible.
01:13 Since Saudi Arabia has long been a bank, at the end of the month, Lebanon has renewed
01:19 its ties with Iran under Chinese mediation, in the political-military arm where Lebanon
01:24 and Hezbollah have been paralyzing institutions for years.
01:27 The JDD also notes the meetings of Mikati with Egyptian and Iraqi leaders to obtain
01:35 help from his Arab allies in Jeddah.
01:38 The surprise guest in the Arab League is Volodymyr Zelensky, who stole the star of Bashar al-Assad.
01:44 After Jeddah, the Ukrainian president went to Hiroshima, which he compared to Bahrain,
01:50 which is currently a theater of war with the Russians.
01:53 He changed the agenda of the G7 leaders fighting in the world.
01:57 Dressed in his trade uniform and polo, Kaki, Zelensky took on the Japanese presidency.
02:02 The visit was orchestrated by the French, who lent him a bus to transport him.
02:07 He was invited to a meeting with all the present officials, sitting between the South Korean
02:12 president and the head of the Indian government.
02:15 His goal was to lay new ground on the path he has taken for 15 months, while at the same
02:20 time carrying out a great counteroffensive against the Russian troops and sketching
02:25 an uncertain perspective of peace.
02:28 Midi Libre does the G7 report.
02:31 Volodymyr Zelensky has in particular questioned the position of China and India vis-à-vis Russia.
02:36 Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Saturday that the decisions taken by the
02:41 G7 showed that it was determined to what it called "the double isolation of Russia and
02:46 China".
02:47 The task was set to "fight Russia on the battlefield, but not stop there and eliminate
02:53 it as a geopolitical competitor", the head of Russian diplomacy said.
02:58 The Chinese embassy in Great Britain warned the G7 countries that any word or any action
03:03 that would be in the interests of Beijing would be the subject of "firm and resolute countermeasures".
03:09 This Saturday, May 20, the G7 in Hiroshima, Japan, met the United States, Japan, Germany,
03:16 Great Britain, France, Italy and Canada to discuss the war in Ukraine.
03:23 Hiroshima is inseparable from its past, and its history, which involves its status as a
03:28 symbol of world peace, is foreign policy.
03:31 Obama recalled in 2016 the "fundamental contradiction of humanity, our generosity and our ability
03:38 to create could also destroy us".
03:42 Hiroshima remains one of the few places where the consequences of nuclear weapons are more
03:47 concrete than theoretical.
03:48 After 1945, Hiroshima was at the forefront of the global campaign for nuclear disarmament,
03:55 while the security architecture of Japan was becoming more and more dependent on the United
04:00 States.
04:01 The symbolism of the G7 summit this year in Hiroshima is obvious.
04:05 The war in Russia and Ukraine and the nuclear sabre blows of Russian President Vladimir Putin
04:11 have sparked new fears of nuclear use.
04:17 We are coming to the end of the international press street.
04:21 Thank you for following it.
04:22 Have a good day.
