Trump RAGES As India Refuses To Stop Buying Russian Oil; SLAPS More Tariffs
Yemen's Houthi rebels launched another ballistic missile at Israel, triggering air raid sirens across central regions including Jerusalem. Israeli defense systems successfully intercepted the missile, which the Houthis claimed was aimed at Ben Gurion Airport. No injuries or damage were reported. This marks the second missile fired by the Houthis in less than 48 hours, adding to a total of 67 missiles and 17 drones launched since March. In response, Israel conducted airstrikes on Yemen's Hodeida port, targeting military infrastructure of the Iran-backed rebel group. The situation continues to escalate as Israel confirms active monitoring of Houthi threats.

Israel's Netanyahu to convene cabinet on Gaza war goals
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Monday he would convene his security cabinet this week to discuss how to instruct the military to meet his war goals in Gaza. 'We must continue to stand together and fight together to achieve all our war objectives: the defeat of the enemy, the release of our hostages, and the assurance that Gaza will no longer pose a threat to Israel,' Netanyahu said at the outset of a regular cabinet meeting. Israel's Channel 12 cited an official from his office as saying that Netanyahu was inclining towards expanding the offensive and seizing the entire Palestinian enclave. Israeli media reported that the cabinet would meet on Tuesday to make a decision on that. Netanyahu's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The Gaza war began when Hamas killed 1,200 people and took 251 hostage in an attack on southern Israel on October 7, 2023, according to Israeli figures. Israel's offensive has since killed more than 60,000 Palestinians, according to Gaza health officials. According to Israeli officials, 50 hostages now remain in Gaza, only 20 of whom are believed to be alive.

Civil society groups hold symbolic hunger strike in Pune protesting atrocities against Palestinians
UNDER THE banner 'A Hunger Strike of Solidarity – For Gaza!', several progressive organisations and concerned citizens from Pune came together on Saturday to protest the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Palestine. The symbolic hunger strike, held at Sambhaji Garden, called for an immediate end to the violence in Gaza and demanded urgent food and medical aid for the Palestinian people. Chanting slogans such as 'Stop the genocide in Palestine!', 'Start food aid immediately!' and 'Free Palestine!', protesters demanded that the Indian government take a firm and unequivocal stand in support of Palestine, continuing its historical position of backing Palestinian sovereignty and justice. For nearly two years, and even before, Israel has been accused of carrying out relentless attacks on Gaza. Protesters highlighted that innocent women, children, and men are being killed daily in aerial bombings, and that the situation has worsened with Israel blocking the supply of essential goods such as food and medicines. They pointed out that this amounts to a deliberate starvation strategy , which can amount to a war crime. The protest in Pune was part of a larger international campaign from July 27 to August 3, during which citizens across the globe staged hunger strikes and solidarity demonstrations. The event was jointly organised by several progressive groups including the Stree Mukti Andolan Sampark Samiti, National Alliance of People's Movements (NAPM), Pune Collective, DYFI, SFI, Nava Samajwadi Paryay, Lokshahi Utsav Samiti, PUCL, among others. Several notable voices addressed the gathering. Prof. Dr. Parimal Maya Sudhakar spoke of India's historic opposition to the partition of Palestine and its consistent support for peaceful resistance led by Yasser Arafat. He warned against Israel's expansionist ambitions across Syria, Jordan, and Lebanon and urged the Indian government to uphold its legacy by supporting Palestinian liberation. Prof. Shruti Tambe highlighted multiple cases of gender-based violence committed by Israeli forces, and the cruel targeting of refugee camps and civilians asking for food. She cited alarming figures — over 18,000 Palestinian children have died in the past two months alone, many now dying due to hunger. Writer and academic Anjali Chipalkatti called the assault on Gaza a profiteering land grab disguised as war. 'This is not war,' she said, 'but a colonial strategy to displace a population and occupy land.' She emphasised that resisting such injustice is a moral and scientific imperative. The protest concluded with a united pledge by all participants to continue raising their voice for the people of Palestine, and to oppose injustice in all its forms across the world.
