01:08 successful than expected.
01:11 The government says it warned neighboring countries of its plans 72 hours in advance.

01:36 that happens.

01:56 Square.
01:57 In Rome, members of the Palestinian community demanded a long-standing political solution
02:03 for Palestine.

02:05 the roots, so that the occupation is put to an end.

02:07 end.
02:08 It is not said that if the bombing of Gaza ends now, the ceasefire will be put to an

02:20 In Germany, protesters demonstrated against the dissolution of the Palestine Congress,
02:25 which was supposed to start in Berlin on Friday, but was shut down by police.
02:30 The reason given by the authorities was a video broadcast of a speech by a man who is
02:35 banned from political activity in Germany.
02:40 Ukrainian soldiers in the Kiev region have been enjoying some time away from the front
02:46 line as battalions rotate.
02:49 Soldiers had returned after four months' rotation in the Bakhmut region.
02:53 At night, they lit a bonfire in the memory of those who had died on the rotation.
02:58 "Many people who have been repressed by the mobilization don't want to go.
03:03 Most of those who are already on the front line, they are already in the second year,
03:08 that is, there are no volunteers.
03:10 And these people who are not motivated to take them as a mobilization, I don't think

03:19 The main thing in people is motivation."
