Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu publicly declared his support for Donald Trump’s proposed Gaza peace plan, calling it aligned with Israel’s war aims. Standing beside Trump during a news conference, Netanyahu said the plan would help Israel recover its hostages, dismantle Hamas’s military and political control, and ensure Gaza no longer poses a security threat. However, he also emphasized that Israel would retain a security perimeter and warned that if Hamas rejects the deal, Israel would act unilaterally. Though the public show of unity matters symbolically, analysts note there remain gaps between Israel’s long-term interests and aspects of Trump’s plan. For example, Netanyahu has been wary of ceding control over Gaza’s governance or giving the Palestinian Authority a role — something included in parts of the plan. Hamas is reportedly reviewing the proposal “in good faith,” but has not yet accepted, and its assent will be crucial to whether the plan can move forward. #Netanyahu #TrumpPeacePlan #Gaza #IsraelHamasConflict #HostageRelease #Ceasefire #Hamas #SecurityDeal #MiddleEastPeace #Diplomacy
In a high-stakes exchange at the United Nations General Assembly, India firmly rejected U.S. President Donald Trump’s claim that he mediated a ceasefire between India and Pakistan. Indian diplomats emphasized that any understanding between New Delhi and Islamabad was reached bilaterally — directly between the two nations — and not through any third party. The message was clear: India sees its disputes with Pakistan as matters to be resolved by them alone, without external intervention. In the same diplomatic move, India issued a stern warning to Pakistan over terrorism emanating from its soil. India demanded that Pakistan dismantle militant training camps and hand over terrorists wanted by India, and reaffirmed its “zero tolerance” policy toward sponsoring or harbouring terrorists. Indian representatives also decried what they called Pakistan’s repeated glorification of terror groups, calling such behavior unacceptable in global forums. #IndiaPakistan #UNGA #Diplomacy #BilateralDialogue #Ceasefire #Terrorism #NationalSovereignty #ForeignPolicy #Security #IndiaStance
