Netanyahu mocks social media rumours about his death
11 Sept 01:33Key points summarised by AI
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu publicly dismissed social media rumors of his death and speculation that his recent televised address was AI-generated, sarcastically asking if viewers wanted to count his fingers.
Netanyahu urged Israeli citizens to respect safety instructions during rocket threats, asserting that their resilience strengthens the government and military, while also claiming Israel is 'striking Iran very hard, and also Lebanon' amid a death threat from Iran's Revolutionary Guards Corps.
Nationwide crackdown launched on illegal nominee shareholders and land holdings
Yesterday 15:20Key points summarised by AI
Thailand's Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul initiated a nationwide crackdown on illegal Thai nominee shareholders in foreign-run businesses and land holdings to safeguard national interests.
The government will integrate efforts across all relevant agencies to target illicit foreign operations, forced sales of illegally acquired property, and high-risk land ownership schemes.
Key strategies include auditing suspect land and building holdings, establishing a long-term monitoring system, and cross-referencing data from various authorities to trace ultimate beneficial owners.
Prime Minister Anutin emphasized that no influential figures or corrupt officials are above the law, promising straightforward prosecution, asset seizures, and protection for enforcing officers.
Beyond land ownership, the integrated crackdown will also extend to tackle transnational crimes, including drug and human trafficking.
