00:05 a remarkable message of peace by ascending the 220-meter Hecla Tower in Paris' bustling
00:11 business district.
00:13 His daring climb was a call to action amid the deepening conflict between Israel and
00:17 the Palestinians.
00:19 Before his ascent, Robert articulated his plea for peace, saying, "There is one urgent
00:24 and important thing to do, which is to hear each other out and sign peace accords that
00:29 are long-lasting."
00:30 Reuters reports it took Robert two hours to reach the summit, where he unfurled a banner
00:36 echoing his message of peace.

00:44 act was a poignant reminder of the need for dialogue and diplomacy.
00:48 He urged political leaders to come to the table and work towards lasting peace agreements,
00:53 warning that without such efforts, we stand on the precipice of a potential global conflict.
00:59 "They need to decide for something, you know, once and for all.
01:03 Otherwise, you know, we are on the verge of a real, this time, World War III.
01:12 Because if the Muslim countries, they start attacking Israel, it will be horrible.
