Jaishankar refutes Trump's India-Pakistan ceasefire claims: ‘Was in the room when JD Vance spoke to PM Modi…'
External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar has refuted Donald Trump's claim that he secured a ceasefire between India and Pakistan using trade negotiations, and dismissed rumours that the conflict affected India-US trade relations, PTI reported. He was speaking to Newsweek in Manhattan on June 30. Jaishankar is on an official visit to the US and will travel to Washington DC to participate in the Quad Foreign Ministers' Meeting on July 1 (today). After the interview, answering a question about Donald Trump's ceasefire claim and whether there was any negative impact on India-US trade, Jaishankar said, 'No, I don't think so.' "I think the trade people are doing what the trade people should be doing, which is negotiate with numbers and lines and products and do their trade-offs. I think they are very professional and very, very focused about it,' he added. Jaishankar further said that there is a national consensus in India that 'our dealings with Pakistan are bilateral'. Recounting the event as he saw it unfold on then, Jaishakar shared, 'And in this particular case, I can tell you that I was in the room when Vice President (JD) Vance spoke to Prime Minister (Narendra) Modi on the night of May 9, saying that the Pakistanis would launch a very massive assault on India if we did not accept certain things.' '…the Prime Minister was impervious to what the Pakistanis were threatening to do. On the contrary, he indicated that there would be a response from us. This was the night before and the Pakistanis did attack us massively that night, we responded very quickly thereafter,' he said. 'And the next morning, Mr (Secretary of State Marco) Rubio called me up and said the Pakistanis were ready to talk. So I can only tell you from my personal experience what happened. The rest I leave to you,' he added. On the Pahalgam terror attack, Jaishankar asserted that it was an act of economic warfare meant to destroy tourism in Kashmir, and stressed that India will not allow nuclear blackmail to prevent it from responding to terror emanating from Pakistan. 'India has had a string of terrorist attacks over the years emanating from Pakistan and in the wake of the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack, there was a sentiment in the country that 'enough is enough',' Jaishankar said. He added, 'The Pahalgam attack was an act of economic warfare. It was meant to destroy tourism in Kashmir, which was the mainstay of the economy. It was also meant to provoke religious violence because people were asked to identify their faith before they were killed. So we decided that we cannot let terrorists function with impunity. The idea that they are on that side of the border, and that, therefore, sort of prevents retribution, I think, that's a proposition that needs to be challenged and that is what we did.'

'Under review': Israel launches probe into its deadly Gaza cafe strike; says it targeted 'Hamas terrorists'
Al-Baqa cafe A day after at least 24 Palestinians were killed and dozens wounded in an Israeli strike on a seafront Gaza café, the Israeli military on Tuesday announced a review into the strike. However, the Israeli army maintained that it had conducted the strike against "several Hamas terrorists in the northern Gaza Strip." "Prior to the strike, steps were taken to mitigate the risk of harming civilians using aerial surveillance. The incident is under review," an army spokesperson told news agency AFP. The Al-Baqa café, a prominent venue along Gaza City's coastal promenade, had so far survived more than 20 months of war and intense bombings on the Palestinian territory. It had become a gathering spot for those not displaced by the conflict. "There's always a lot of people at that spot, which offers drinks, spaces for families, and internet access," a witnesss said "It was a massacre. I saw bits of bodies flying everywhere, bodies mangled and burned. It was a bloodcurdling scene; everybody was screaming," he added. The Israel-Hamas war Israel launched its campaign in response to Hamas's October 7, 2023 attack, in the Jewish State, which resulted in the deaths of 1,219 people, mostly civilians, as per an AFP tally based on Israeli official figures. Of the 251 hostages seized during the assault, 49 are still held in Gaza, including 27 the Israeli military says are dead. The retaliatory campaign has killed at least 56,531 people in Gaza, also mostly civilians, according to the Hamas-run territory's health ministry. The United Nations considers these figures to be reliable.

India Set To Get BRICS Backing on Terror as PM Modi, Jaishankar Lead Global Diplomatic Offensive
/ Jul 01, 2025, 12:54PM IST At the BRICS Summit in Brazil, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to secure a major diplomatic win with strong anti-terror language in the BRICS declaration for the first time in years. This comes weeks after the Pahalgam terror attack in Kashmir, where 26 people lost their lives. External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar has already set the tone at the UN with a powerful exhibition titled 'The Human Cost of Terrorism', directly calling out state-sponsored terrorism, a veiled reference to Pakistan. The message is clear: India is done with silence and diplomacy without accountability. BRICS, often seen as divided on terror, may finally echo India's zero-tolerance approach. With China and Russia skipping the summit, Modi's presence at BRICS 2025 marks a turning point in reclaiming the anti-terror narrative in global multilateral platforms.#bricssummit #pmmodi #jaishankar #pahalgamterrorattack #terrorism #indiafightsterror #modibrics #jaishankarunspeech #terrorismdebate #toi #toibharat #bharat #breakingnews #indianews
