PM Modi Refuses to Silence Hasina Online: Yunus React, Bangladesh Boils Over Her Speeches from India

Bangladesh interim leader Muhammad Yunus claims he asked Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to block Sheikh Hasina’s online speeches — but Modi refused, saying, “It’s social media, you can’t control it.” Yunus, who now leads Bangladesh after Hasina’s ouster, made this revelation during a talk at Chatham House in London. As Hasina continues to address the Bangladeshi public from India, tensions rise, with Yunus accusing her of stirring unrest. Meanwhile, Yunus’ own anti-India remarks and outreach to China have alarmed New Delhi. Is Bangladesh heading into deeper turmoil? And is India taking a firm stand on digital freedom? #Modi #SheikhHasina #MuhammadYunus #BangladeshPolitics #IndiaBangladesh #SocialMediaFreedom #Geopolitics #ChathamHouse #DigitalDiplomacy #ModiHasina #SouthAsia #ChinaInBangladesh ~HT.318~PR.274~ED.103~GR.125~

Israel ‘Didn’t Need Trump’s Permission’: Top Official Snubs U.S As Netanyahu Woos Trump With Nobel

In a significant geopolitical development, a senior Israeli official has stated that Israel no longer seeks or requires approval from the United States to conduct military operations against Iran. According to a report by the Times of Israel, the official directly countered the narrative of US dominance, claiming Israel has entered a "different relationship" with the Trump administration, granting it more freedom of action. This explosive statement comes just as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is in the U.S. and has nominated President Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize. The official explained this shift by pointing to the strong pro-Israel public sentiment in the United States, which they claim has the power to influence American leadership. Citing the influence of powerful Super PACs like AIPAC, the official asserted, “Public sentiment influences leaders,” suggesting Israel can now shape U.S. political discourse to suit its security needs. This is a stark contrast to previous administrations, with the official referencing Barack Obama's autobiography where even he admitted to having limits on his Israel policy. "With Trump it's the opposite," the official stated. "We agree on things. You don’t need to get approval." This comment implies a deep understanding between the two administrations, where Trump allegedly trusts Israel's judgment on existential threats. These remarks fuel speculation that while the U.S. may be engaging in negotiations with Iran, it has laid the groundwork for Israel to act independently, potentially leading to a major conflict in the Middle East. #IsraelIranConflict #USIsraelRelations #DonaldTrump #Netanyahu #BreakingNews #WorldNews #Geopolitics #MiddleEast #AIPAC #OneindiaNews Also Read Trump Gets Second Nobel Peace Prize Nod, Courtesy Israeli PM Netanyahu :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-gets-second-nobel-peace-prize-nod-courtesy-israeli-pm-netanyahu-011-7794565.html?ref=DMDesc US President Donald Trump Announces 25% Tariffs On Japan, South Korea :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-president-donald-trump-announces-25-tariffs-on-japan-south-korea-7794333.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Calls Musk’s America Party Plan ‘Ridiculous’ And ‘Unworkable’ :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-calls-musk-s-america-party-plan-ridiculous-and-unworkable-7793443.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~GR.122~
