India backs early Gaza truce: EAM Jaishankar to Saudi counterpart
Wednesday, 13 November 2024 During a meeting with Saudi Arabian counterpart Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud, Indian External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar expressed support for a swift ceasefire in Gaza. While condemning terrorism and hostage-taking, Jaishankar stressed the importance of international humanitarian law in responding to the crisis and highlighted India's commitment to a two-state solution for the Palestinian issue.
In a striking display of diplomatic unity, Saudi Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan declared that Riyadh welcomes Russia’s role in Middle Eastern affairs during a high-profile press conference with Russian FM Sergey Lavrov in Moscow. The comment signals a major shift in Gulf geopolitics, showing Saudi Arabia's increasing tilt toward Moscow as regional dynamics evolve. Lavrov and Farhan met at the Russian MFA Reception House, emphasizing cooperation on regional security, energy, and investment. Farhan praised Russia’s involvement as “always welcome,” underlining a growing partnership despite global Western efforts to isolate Moscow. The press conference further confirms Russia's expanding clout in the Gulf as the Kremlin strengthens alliances outside the West. The talks come amid heightened tensions in the region, and suggest Saudi Arabia is now playing a more independent, multi-vector diplomatic game — balancing its ties between Washington, Moscow, and Beijing.

France and Saudi Arabia are spearheading a new diplomatic push for Palestinian statehood, co-hosting a UN summit on July 28 in New York. President Macron announced France will officially recognize Palestine in September, a move hailed as “game-changing.” Dozens of nations are expected to attend, though Israel and the U.S. will boycott. European momentum for recognition is building amid Gaza war fatigue. Analysts see the conference as a major challenge to Israeli annexation efforts and U.S.-led diplomacy.

U.S. President Donald Trump has sidestepped a direct stance on the two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, saying, "I'm looking for getting people fed right now. I think that's the number one position." His remarks come as global focus intensifies on the long-stalled peace process. Meanwhile, dozens of foreign ministers are set to gather at the U.N. for a delayed high-level conference—hosted by France and Saudi Arabia—to advance the roadmap toward a two-state solution.
Both the U.S. and Israel have boycotted the summit, with Washington calling it “a gift to Hamas.” France is pushing for global recognition of a Palestinian state by September. As the war between Israel and Hamas continues into its 22nd month—with nearly 60,000 Palestinians killed—debates around peace, recognition, and security intensify. The conference seeks to balance Israel’s security concerns with the longstanding Palestinian demand for statehood.

Slovenia has made history as the first EU country to impose a full ban on arms imports, exports, and transit to Israel amid the escalating humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Prime Minister Robert Golob boldly declared that responsible nations must act—even if it means stepping ahead of others to uphold international law. This move exposes the European Union’s failure to take concrete measures against Israel’s blockade and ongoing war crimes, which have killed over 60,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children. As Slovenia plans further sanctions, will other EU countries follow and challenge Israel’s brutal military campaign? Dive into this explosive shift in European policy and the mounting pressure on Israel’s government.

A shocking new report claims Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is secretly negotiating with at least five countries to relocate thousands of Palestinians from Gaza under a so-called “voluntary migration” plan. The controversial strategy, allegedly backed by far-right minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, is being framed by Israeli officials as a humanitarian solution—but critics warn it amounts to ethnic cleansing.
