‘Need more Trumps’: Israeli lawmakers hail Trump with 2.5-minute ovation

**‘Need More Trumps’: Israeli Lawmakers Hail Trump with 2.5-Minute Ovation**

*By Chanshimla Varah | October 13, 2025, 4:43 PM*

United States President Donald Trump received a rousing welcome during his visit to Israel on Monday. At the Knesset, Israeli lawmakers gave him a standing ovation that lasted two and a half minutes, praising him with the words, “The world needs more Trumps.”

This visit comes amid a significant breakthrough, as Hamas released the remaining 20 living hostages under a ceasefire agreement brokered with the help of the United States. Trump was accompanied by his special envoy Steve Witkoff, son-in-law Jared Kushner, and daughter Ivanka Trump.

**Historic Comparisons and Praise**

Speaker Amir Ohana introduced Trump as a “giant of Jewish history,” drawing a historic parallel to Cyrus the Great, the Persian king who allowed Jews to return to Israel and rebuild the Second Temple. “It’s a great honor,” Trump said before taking his seat and signing the Knesset guestbook.

Ohana emphasized the need for strong leadership in today’s world, stating, “What the world needs now are more leaders who are brave, resolute, strong, and bold.”

**Gratitude from Israeli Leadership**

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed his gratitude to Trump for his unwavering support in critical Israeli military operations, including Operation Rising Lion and Operation Midnight Hammer. Netanyahu praised Israeli soldiers for their bravery and highlighted the impact of Trump’s election amidst growing diplomatic pressures on Israel.

“Thanks to Trump’s unequivocal backing of Israel, we secured a second hostage deal within weeks of your election,” Netanyahu remarked.

**Looking Ahead: Regional Peace Efforts**

According to excerpts released by the White House, President Trump plans to declare “the historic dawn of a new Middle East” during his speech to the Knesset. He characterized the moment as one that future generations will remember “as the moment when everything began to change.”

Following his visit to Israel, Trump will travel to Egypt, where he and President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi will co-host a summit in Sharm el-Sheikh. The summit will bring together leaders from over 20 countries to discuss peace efforts in Gaza and the broader Middle East region.

Africa’s most stunning eco-art installations: A list

**Africa’s Most Stunning Eco-Art Installations: A List**
*By Simran Jeet | Oct 13, 2025, 10:46 am*

Africa is home to some of the most stunning eco-art installations that beautifully combine art and nature to make a meaningful difference. These remarkable works highlight the continent’s commitment to sustainability and creativity. From giant sculptures crafted from recycled materials to interactive gardens, these installations are not only visually striking but also deeply thought-provoking. They encourage visitors to reflect on environmental issues and the vital role of art in addressing them.

### 1. The Amazing *The Great Green Wall*

*The Great Green Wall* is an ambitious African-led initiative to restore 8,000 kilometers of land across the Sahel region. This groundbreaking project aims to combat desertification, improve food security, and create jobs.

Artists from across the continent have contributed vibrant murals and sculptures that celebrate both cultural heritage and environmental stewardship. Serving as a powerful symbol of hope and resilience, *The Great Green Wall* represents Africa’s united stand against climate change.

### 2. *The Tree of Life* at Johannesburg Botanical Gardens

Located in the Johannesburg Botanical Gardens, *The Tree of Life* is a stunning installation that seamlessly unites art with environmental conservation. At its center stands a living tree, surrounded by colorful mosaics made from recycled glass.

This installation raises awareness about biodiversity and the crucial importance of preserving natural habitats. Visitors can stroll through the garden, enjoying its beauty while learning about the diverse local flora and fauna.

### 3. *The Floating Garden* in Cape Town

Cape Town’s *Floating Garden* is an innovative eco-art installation that uses hydroponics to grow plants on water bodies. This unique project aims to purify water while supplying fresh produce to local communities.

Beyond its practical benefits, the garden serves as an educational platform, teaching visitors about sustainable agriculture practices. It demonstrates how urban spaces can be transformed into green havens that benefit both people and nature.

### 4. *Recycled Art Park* in Nairobi

Nairobi’s *Recycled Art Park* is a creative space where artists transform waste materials into stunning sculptures and installations. This park not only beautifies the city but also raises critical awareness about waste management.

By showcasing how trash can be turned into incredible works of art, this initiative encourages recycling and helps reduce pollution levels in urban areas. It stands as a testament to human ingenuity in tackling environmental challenges.

### 5. *The Living Wall* at Kigali Convention Centre

*The Living Wall* at the Kigali Convention Centre is Africa’s largest vertical garden. Featuring over 2,000 plants sourced from different parts of the continent, these species are carefully chosen to thrive in the local climate.

This impressive green wall not only enhances the aesthetic of the convention center but also improves air quality by absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen, contributing to a healthier environment.

These eco-art installations across Africa beautifully illustrate how creativity and environmental responsibility can work hand in hand. They inspire communities and visitors alike to envision a sustainable future where art plays a pivotal role in protecting our planet.

Expo 2025 Osaka Enters Final Day

As of 4:50 a.m. on October 13, Typhoon No. 23 (Nakri) was located about 90 kilometers south-southwest of Hachijojima, moving east-northeast at approximately 30 kilometers per hour. Meteorologists have warned that the system is expected to pass near the Izu Islands on Monday morning.

Aogashima has already entered the typhoon’s gale zone, and Hachijojima is expected to follow shortly as winds intensify and conditions rapidly deteriorate. A maximum instantaneous wind speed of 28.7 meters per second was recorded on Hachijojima. Gusts near the typhoon’s center could reach up to 50 meters per second, posing a serious risk of destructive winds on both Hachijojima and Aogashima.

The Japan Meteorological Agency announced that satellite images from the Himawari-9 weather satellite are currently unavailable due to a communication failure. Although some functions have been restored through the backup satellite Himawari-8, key nighttime observation data such as infrared imagery remain inaccessible.

In other news, a new survey by the Japan Sports Agency reveals that people who belonged to a school sports club or athletic circle are significantly more likely to maintain regular exercise habits after graduation compared to those who did not.

Meanwhile, the abrupt collapse of the long-standing Liberal Democratic Party (LDP)-Komeito coalition ahead of the upcoming prime ministerial vote has thrown Japanese politics into flux. This development complicates the path for Takaichi to take office and intensifies behind-the-scenes maneuvering among all major parties.

Takaichi, who visited the Constitutional Democratic Party (CDP) headquarters earlier this week, faced criticism over remarks describing an opposition figure as “damaged goods.” This incident highlights heightened political tensions just two days before Komeito’s dramatic departure from the coalition.

Additionally, the number of foreign residents in Japan has reached a record high of nearly 4 million, according to the Immigration Services Agency. As of the end of June, 3,956,619 foreign nationals were living in the country—an increase of about 190,000 from the end of 2024—marking the highest total on record.
