Seeking to turning the tide in Gaza, global community calls out Israel
Business Standard Editorial Comment
Listen to This Article
After months of looking the other way as Israel unleashed an attack against civilians in Gaza, key Western nations have performed a volte face of a kind. In short order, France, the United Kingdom, and Canada have extended conditional recognition of the state of Palestine in September and the two-state solution ahead of the 80th session of the United Nations (UN) General Assembly. In practical terms, the move is symbolic, since the Palestinian state virtually does not exist. But in the larger geopolitical context, this shift has enormous significance in the international community's stance on Israel. For the first time,

New Delhi: Things are not the same between the Indian Army and the Pakistan Army since the Pahalgam terrorist attack and the ensuing Operation Sindoor. During the operation, China provided full support to Pakistan. What is UN Troop Contributor Chief Conclave? As a result of these two incidents, India will not be inviting the Pakistan Army to the United Nations (UN) Troop Contributor Chief Conclave, scheduled to take place in October this year in New Delhi. According to sources, China's PLA is also not invited. The United Nations (UN) Troop Contributor Chief Conclave will include an integrated firepower demonstration on the third day at the Pokhran Field Firing Range near the India-Pakistan border. It will be a four-day event. What is the UN Peacekeeping Mission?

Israel mulls full takeover of Gaza
Tel Aviv | Cairo: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu favours a complete military takeover of Gaza, media reported, and was to meet senior security officials on Tuesday to finalise a new strategy in the 22-month war. Mediation between Israel and Palestinian militant group Hamas has collapsed despite intense international pressure for a ceasefire to ease hunger and appalling conditions in the besieged Palestinian enclave.

Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer, a confidant of Netanyahu, would also be present. Israel's Channel 12, citing an official from Netanyahu's office, said the prime minister was leaning towards taking control of the entire territory. That would reverse a 2005 decision to pull settlers and military out of Gaza while retaining control over its borders, a move right-wing parties blame for Hamas gaining power there. Live Events It was unclear, however, whether Netanyahu was foreseeing a prolonged occupation or a short-term operation aimed at dismantling Hamas and freeing Israeli hostages . The prime minister's office declined to comment on the Channel 12 report. "It is still necessary to complete the defeat of the enemy in Gaza, release our hostages and ensure that Gaza never again constitutes a threat to Israel," Netanyahu told new recruits at a military base. "We are not giving up on any of these missions." On Saturday, Hamas released a video of Evyatar David, one of 50 hostages still held in Gaza, appearing emaciated in what seemed to be an underground tunnel. The images shocked Israelis and sparked international condemnation. Throughout the war, there has been sustained international pressure on Hamas to release the remaining hostages, of whom Israeli officials estimate 20 are believed to still be alive. Most hostages have been released during ceasefires following diplomatic negotiations. Israel broke the last ceasefire.

Trump's Arab Ally Finally Breaks Silence On Netanyahu's Gaza War
Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi launched one of his strongest-ever attacks on Israel's Gaza offensive, calling it a 'war of genocide and starvation.' In a powerful address from Cairo, El-Sissi said the war had moved beyond hostage rescue and was now threatening the very existence of the Palestinian people. He also dismissed claims that Egypt has blocked aid to Gaza, saying Egypt has always remained a gateway for humanitarian support. The remarks come just as Israeli PM Netanyahu pushed for full military occupation of the Gaza Strip, despite growing international and regional anger. Watch Read More
