Netanyahu Allies Quit Govt; Trouble Mounts For Israeli PM Amid Coalition Backlash Over Haredi Enlistment
/ Jul 17, 2025, 09:13AM IST
Israel's Shas party announced its ministers will resign from government roles in protest over the failure to pass ultra-Orthodox military exemption laws. The move comes amid growing tension with Likud's Yuli Edelstein, who opposes any bill not aligned with IDF needs. Although stepping down from ministerial posts, Shas will stay in the coalition. The ultra-Orthodox parties demand urgent legislation as thousands of yeshiva students face potential enlistment. The Council of Torah Sages warned that if no law is passed by October, coalition unity may collapse. Opposition leaders say the government has lost legitimacy.#IsraeliPolitics #ShasResigns #HarediDraftCrisis #YeshivaDraft #IDFConscription #KnessetNews #CoalitionCrisis #UltraOrthodoxDraft

India Won't Bow to 'Bully' Trump's Tariff Threats, Says Ex-Diplomat Rajiv Dogra in Fiery Rebuttal
/ Aug 02, 2025, 03:21PM IST Ex-diplomat Rajiv Dogra fiercely rebukes the former US President's 25% tariff threat against India. Calling Trump "a bully of a rare kind," Dogra says India will not yield to hollow intimidation. The warning comes after Trump announced penalties over India's trade ties with Russia, while ignoring similar dealings by Turkey. In a striking declaration of India's strategic autonomy, Dogra reminded Washington that New Delhi does not depend on the US for exports. He slammed the hypocrisy of selective sanctions and dismissed White House claims of mediation during Operation Sindoor. 'India makes its own decisions,' he said, urging the government to remain firm amid rising trade and geopolitical pressure. As the Indo-US equation enters turbulent waters, India's message is clear: it will chart its course, even if it means weathering the storm.#rajivdogra #donaldtrump #usindiatradetensions #trumpmodi #operationSindoor #indianexports #trumptariffthreat #indianpolitics #strategicautonomy #geopolitics #modivstrump #indiarussia #usforeignpolicy #globaltrade #trumpnews #india #breakingnews #trending #bharat #toi #toibharat #indianews

Tehran accused the West of hypocrisy—sheltering anti-Iran terror groups while blaming Iran for extraterritorial activities. The embassy cited Denmark's handling of the 2018 Ahvaz attack and Albania's support for the Mujahedin Khalq Organisation (MKO) as examples of selective justice. Watch
