Badenoch: Recognising Palestine now would reward Hamas

Kemi Badenoch has rejected calls for the UK to recognise Palestinian statehood, saying doing so now would “reward” Hamas after its October attack. The leader of the Conservative Party said a two-state solution remains the goal but “now is not the time.” On the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, she called images of starving civilians “heartbreaking” and blamed Hamas for prolonging the war.

Hasina Sentenced:6-Months Jail After Viral “License to Kill” Audio | First Verdict Since 2024 Escape

Former Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has been sentenced to six months in jail by the International Crimes Tribunal for contempt of court. The verdict comes after a leaked audio call revealed Hasina allegedly mocking the judiciary and referencing a “license to kill” 227 people during the 2024 protests. The sentencing marks the first official ruling since her ouster and escape last year following mass student-led demonstrations. Former student leader Shamil Bulbul was also sentenced to two months. Defense lawyers call the charges politically motivated, while prosecutors hint at more charges to come. #SheikhHasina #BangladeshPolitics #InternationalCrimesTribunal #HasinaSentenced #BangladeshProtests #Justice #PoliticalDrama #ContemptOfCourt #ShamilBulbul #HumanRights #BangladeshNews #BreakingNews #CourtVerdict #OneIndia Also Read Bangladesh's Ex-PM Sheikh Hasina Sentenced To 6 Months In Jail In Contempt Of Court Case :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/bangladeshs-ex-pm-sheikh-hasina-sentenced-to-6-months-in-jail-in-contempt-of-court-case-7789167.html?ref=DMDesc Bangladesh’s State-Sponsored Sabotage?

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~
