In a powerful statement at the UN, Russia's Deputy Permanent Representative, Maria Zabolotskaya, condemned Western countries for their "double standards" in addressing the global refugee crisis. Highlighting the devastating impact of the Gaza conflict, she criticized the reluctance of Western nations to provide sufficient humanitarian aid to refugees, particularly those fleeing from war-torn regions like Syria, Afghanistan, and Sudan. Zabolotskaya also pointed out the hypocrisy in Western countries voicing concern over Ukrainian refugees while ignoring the plight of those seeking asylum in Russia. She called out the EU's failure to provide adequate support to refugees, especially those crossing the Mediterranean, and the deadly consequences of this inaction. With lives at stake and no accountability, the international community must confront the moral and legal crisis unfolding before our eyes.

Deadly violence erupted in Jaramana, a Druze and Christian-majority suburb near Damascus, after a leaked audio recording allegedly insulting Islamic religious figures triggered outrage. On April 28, reports say Islamist HTS forces stormed the area, leading to intense gunfire and shelling that lasted around 30 minutes. At least four Druze fighters were killed, with unverified reports suggesting dozens injured or over 20 dead. The incident highlights rising sectarian tensions under HTS rule in Syria, as the region remains on edge following similar clashes in March.

Former President Donald Trump held a high-stakes phone call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu amid rising tensions in the Middle East. The two leaders reportedly discussed the ongoing deadlock in Gaza ceasefire negotiations, Iran's nuclear ambitions, and future U.S.-Israel cooperation. Trump’s explosive tweet—“We are on the same side of every issue”—has triggered intense speculation: is Trump backing a possible Israeli strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities? The call came just days after indirect U.S.-Iran nuclear talks in Rome and with mounting Israeli pressure for a tougher American stance. As the world watches closely, are we on the brink of a new Middle East confrontation?

After the Pahalgam terror attack, India faces a tough call. This wasn’t just a strike—it was a message in civilian blood. Options range from surgical strikes in PoK to global diplomatic pressure on Pakistan. Terrorists want to turn Kashmir into a battleground by targeting peace itself through Pahalgam terror attack. India must show resolve—militarily, diplomatically, and morally. Silence isn’t peace. It's time to respond, smartly and strongly. The world must see the truth in the wake of the Pahalgam terror attack.
Pankaj Mishra weighs in.
