    During the recent 12-day war, Iran targeted five Israeli military bases.
    Reports, citing radar and satellite data reviewed by researchers at Oregon State University, indicate that six Iranian missiles struck these five sites across northern, central, and southern Israel. The targeted locations reportedly included:
    * Camp Zipporit base (near Nazareth)
    * Camp Glilot (intelligence base)
    * Tel Nof airbase
    * An intelligence collection center
    * A major logistics facility
    It’s important to note that Israeli authorities did not disclose these strikes at the time due to strict military censorship laws.

    Russia Ukraine war: بھارت اگرچہ روس-یوکرین جنگ میں اب تک غیر جانبدار رہا ہے، لیکن امریکی صدر ڈونالڈ ٹرمپ نے اب اسے اس تنازع میں گھسیٹنے کا ارادہ ظاہر کیا ہے۔ وہ روس پر عائد پابندیوں کو سخت کرنے کا الٹی میٹم دے رہے ہیں، جس کا براہِ راست اثر بھارت کی معیشت پر پڑ سکتا ہے۔ آئیے آپ کو بتاتے ہیں کہ آخر ٹرمپ کا منصوبہ کیا ہے اور وہ بھارت کو دھمکی کیوں دے رہے ہیں

    اسکاٹ لینڈ: امریکی صدر ڈونلڈ ٹرمپ نے ایک بار پھر روس-یوکرین جنگ کے حوالے سے اپنی ڈیڈ لائن دہرا دی ہے۔ انہوں نے روس کو 10 سے 12 دن کی نئی بالواسطہ مہلت دی ہے کہ اگر وہ جنگ ختم نہیں کرتا تو سخت پابندیوں اور ٹیرِف کا سامنا کرے گا۔ یہ بیان انھوں نے اسکاٹ لینڈ میں برطانوی وزیراعظم کیر اسٹارمر سے ملاقات کے دوران دیا۔

     ٹرمپ کی دھمکی: کیا ہے منصوبہ؟

    ٹرمپ نے روس کے صدر ولادیمیر پوتن پر بھی ناراضگی کا اظہار کیا، کہا: “میں پوتن سے شدید مایوس ہوں۔ میں نے پہلے 50 دن کا وقت دیا تھا، لیکن کوئی پیش رفت نہیں ہوئی۔ لہذا اب 10–12 دنوں کی نئی مہلت دے رہا ہوں۔ یہ انتظار بے معنی ہو چکا ہے۔”

    یہ بیان روس کیلئے ہی نہیں بلکہ پاکستان، چین اور بھارت جیسے ممالک کے لیے بھی ایک خطرہ ظاہر کرتا ہے جو روس سے توانائی کا تجارت کرتے ہیں۔

    روس کا رد عمل: “یہ مہلت خطرناک کھیل ہے”

    روسی حکام کی جانب سے ابھی تک واضح جواب سامنے نہیں آیا۔ تاہم سابق صدر دمیتری مدویڈیف نے X پر لکھا: “ٹرمپ کا یہ الٹی میٹم خطرناک کھیل ہے اور امریکہ کے ساتھ براہ راست جنگ کی راہ ہموار کر سکتا ہے۔ ہر نیا الٹی میٹم روس کے بجائے امریکہ کے ساتھ تصادم کی جانب قدم ہوتا ہے۔”

    14 جولائی کو، ٹرمپ نے پہلی بار 50 دن کی ڈیڈ لائن دی تھی، تب یہ دھمکی دی گئی کہ اگر صلح نہ ہوئی تو 100 فیصد ثانوی ٹیرِف عائد کیا جائے گا۔ اب اسے کم کر کے 10–12 دن کر دیا گیا ہے، اور ٹرمپ جلد اسے رسمی اعلان تبدیل کرنے کا ارادہ رکھتے ہیں۔

    اشتہار

    بھارت پر کیا اثر پڑ سکتا ہے؟

    بھارت اپنی توانائی کی تقریباً 40 فیصد ضروریات روس سے پوری کرتا ہے، اور جنوری–جون 2025 میں ایران سے تقریباً 17.5 لاکھ بیرل روزانہ درآمد کیے گئے، یہ گزشتہ سال سے 1% زیادہ ہے۔ اگر امریکہ بھارت پر 100 فیصد ٹیرِف عائد کر دے تو تیل کی قیمت دوگنی ہو سکتی ہے، جس کے باعث پٹرول-ڈیزل کی قیمتیں 8–12 روپے فی لیٹر تک بڑھ سکتی ہیں۔ اس سے مہنگائی اضافہ ہوگی، بنیادی ضروریات اور نقل و حمل مہنگی ہوں گی، نیز بھارت کی ادویات، ٹیکسٹائل، آئی ٹی سروسز اور آٹو پارٹس جیسی برآمدات میں بڑی رسک ہوگی۔ بھارت کا امریکہ سے $74 بلین کے برآمدات متاثر ہوں گے، جس سے روزگار اور سرمایہ کاری پر براہِ راست اثر پڑے گا۔

      امریکہ-روس توازن: بھارت کی سیاست کا دوراہا

    بھارت اور امریکہ 2030 تک $500 بلین تجارت اور مفت تجارت معاہدے کی کوشش کر رہے ہیں، لیکن ٹیرِف کی وجہ سے اس میں تاخیر ہو سکتی ہے۔ بھارت کا روس سے دفاع، تیل اور توانائی کے شعبے میں دیرینہ تعلق ہے، اور دباؤ میں آ کر بھارت روس سے دوری اختیار کرنے پر مجبور ہو سکتا ہے۔ بھارت نے دوہری معیارات کی حکمت عملی پر تنقید کی ہے، اور ممکن ہے کہ ٹیرِف کے سبب بھارت BRICS گروپ کی جانب پڑاو کرے یا امریکی جی پی ایس سسٹم سے بھی دوری اختیار کرے

Is Malik Riaz's investment in Bahria Town Dubai against the law and why is NAB calling it 'money laundering'?

  1. Ali1234 Researcher
    Added an answer on August 7, 2025 at 12:48 pm

    Here’s what’s going on: 1. Is Malik Riaz’s Dubai investment illegal? No, simply investing in a Dubai real estate project is not inherently illegal. However, the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) has publicly warned the general public—especially those in Pakistan—against investing in Malik Riaz’sRead more

    Here’s what’s going on:


    1. Is Malik Riaz’s Dubai investment illegal?

    No, simply investing in a Dubai real estate project is not inherently illegal. However, the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) has publicly warned the general public—especially those in Pakistan—against investing in Malik Riaz’s luxury apartment project in Dubai. They have stated that doing so could be considered money laundering, which is a criminal offense.


    2. Why is NAB labeling it “money laundering”?

    NAB’s warning is rooted in several key allegations:

    • Riaz is a fugitive: He is currently residing in Dubai and is wanted in connection with the Al‑Qadir Trust case in Pakistan.
    • Frozen assets and investigations: NAB has frozen numerous Bahria Town assets in Pakistan and launched investigations into massive fraud, illegal occupation of land, and sale of plots without valid legal title or regulatory permission—resulting in public losses worth billions of rupees.
    • Money transfer concerns: NAB suspects that funds used to invest in the Dubai project are being transferred from Pakistan through illicit channels, possibly to avoid scrutiny or to help Riaz evade accountability. These actions raise red flags under Pakistan’s Anti‑Money Laundering laws.
    • FIA findings: The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has uncovered more money‑laundering evidence, noting billions of rupees allegedly being funneled abroad via hundi–hawala networks, with a hospital used as a “front” for hiding cash and documents.

    3. Summary Snapshot

    Key Factor Details
    Investing isn’t automatically illegal But NAB views investing in Riaz’s Dubai project as tainted due to his legal status
    Legal concerns Riaz is a proclaimed offender and subject of multiple corruption and fraud investigations
    Asset freeze & investigations Numerous Bahria Town assets in Pakistan have been frozen and sealed
    Money laundering risk NAB believes that funds destined for the Dubai project may comprise illicitly diverted public or ill-gotten funds
    FIA corroboration Evidence suggests use of non-official channels to transfer money abroad via a hospital front

    In short: while owning property in Dubai isn’t a crime on its own, investing in Bahria Town Dubai risks criminal consequences in Pakistan due to strong suspicions the money is illicit and tied to ongoing corruption probes.

    Let me know if you’d like to explore relevant laws or the Al‑Qadir Trust case in more depth.

    Here’s the verified situation: according to multiple Indian outlet reports, Pakistan’s hockey federation has formally informed the FIH and Asian Hockey Federation (AHF) that it is unable to send its senior team to the upcoming Men’s Hockey Asia Cup in India, citing security concerns and players’ reluctance to travel (Bhaskar English).

    Officials from the Pakistan Sports Board (PSB) have also confirmed that government clearance is still pending, with no final decision yet made. The matter remains under consideration by ministries of interior, foreign affairs, and sports (India Today).

    Former hockey great Akhtar Rasool—now advising the AHF—has even suggested relocating Pakistan’s matches to a neutral venue if India cannot guarantee visas and player safety (Dawn).

    Importantly, no official public statement has yet come directly from the Pakistani government confirming or denying the team’s withdrawal. Reports also mention that India’s Sports Ministry has stated that Pakistan would not be barred—in principle—from participating under the Olympic Charter, which prohibits host nations from politicizing multi-nation sport events (India Today).


    ✅ Summary Table

    Issue Status
    PHF decision Informed FIH/AHF they will likely not participate due to security risks
    Government approval Still pending; final decision is in flux across ministries
    Neutral venue request Suggested by former PHF president to ensure player safety
    Indian position States it won’t block participation in multinational events
    Final outcome Not yet formally confirmed by Pakistan; situation evolving

    Unless new developments emerge—especially from official Pakistani sources—the reports stem primarily from Indian media and PHF communications. At present, a final decision appears pending, with the window still open for either participation (if visas and security assurances are granted) or withdrawal.

    Would you like me to monitor further updates or provide background on Asia Cup qualification implications for Pakistan?

Could Trump's new global taxes be a new opportunity for 'tariff king' India?

  • 0

    Added an answer on August 5, 2025 at 11:25 pm

    Here’s a clearer picture of what Trump’s new global tax and tariff strategy means—and whether India, often branded “tariff king,” might actually stand to gain. 🧾 Trump's Global Tax Moves & Tariff Strategy Withdrawal from OECD global minimum tax (Pillar Two) Trump has effectively removed the U.S.Read more

    Here’s a clearer picture of what Trump’s new global tax and tariff strategy means—and whether India, often branded “tariff king,” might actually stand to gain.


    🧾 Trump’s Global Tax Moves & Tariff Strategy

    1. Withdrawal from OECD global minimum tax (Pillar Two)
      Trump has effectively removed the U.S. from implementing the OECD/G20 global minimum corporate tax framework. India had not yet adopted those rules, so the withdrawal has limited direct impact on India’s tax revenues or policies (Business Standard, Wikipedia).
    2. Use of reciprocal tariffs under Section 891
      Trump may invoke Section 891 of the U.S. tax code to impose “reciprocal taxes” on countries with discriminatory or extraterritorial taxes affecting U.S. firms. India’s Equalisation Levy (digital services tax) could make it a target (Reddit).
    3. Expansion of punitive tariffs
      The U.S. has slapped 25% tariffs on Indian imports, citing issues from purchases of Russian oil to trade practices. These measure look less economic and more political—targeting allies like India for domestic signaling (Financial Times).

    🇮🇳 Does this open an opportunity for India?

    ✅ Strategic advantages — not paradoxical gains

    Area India’s Opportunity
    Export diversification Diversifying away from U.S. dependency toward EU, ASEAN, Gulf markets via FTAs and new trade routes (finsindia.org).
    Manufacturing expansion “China-plus-one” supply arbitrage: Indian manufacturers, especially in textiles, pharma, electronics, are attracting global buyers hit by high tariffs on other Asian exporters (timesofindia.indiatimes.com, wsj.com).
    Policy reform catalyst Analysts argue that U.S. pressure might push India toward historic reform moments, like in 1991—lowering tariffs and improving competitiveness (Reddit, outlookbusiness.com).

    ⚠️ Risks remain significant

    • Analysts estimate up to 87% of India’s exports to the U.S. could be impacted by tariffs, affecting major sectors like gems, textiles, electronics, pharma (Wikipedia).
    • While India’s average applied tariffs (12%–16%) are high compared to the U.S. (~2–3%), U.S. bound tariffs on select goods can exceed 350%, complicating any moral high ground on trade openness (indiatoday.in).
    • India still faces pressure to liberalise agriculture—which is politically sensitive and domestically contentious (The Washington Post, moneycontrol.com).

    🔍 Bottom Line

    India could turn Trump’s trade turbulence into opportunity, but only if it pursues bold reforms—reducing import barriers, boosting domestic competitiveness, expanding export markets beyond the U.S., and accelerating manufacturing reforms.

    Trump’s exit from the global tax deal doesn’t directly benefit India, but his tariff threats—if they force India to shift policies—might. Whether that amounts to India benefiting as “tariff king” remains debatable: the real upside lies in India transforming those pressures into global supply-chain and policy momentum.

    Let me know if you’d like deep dives into specific sectors (textiles, pharma, digital services) or potential trade frameworks India could tap into.

  1. Ali1234 Researcher
    Added an answer on August 6, 2025 at 7:58 am

    You're not mistaken — on August 6, 2025, President Donald Trump signed an executive order imposing an additional 25% tariff on imports from India, citing India’s purchase of Russian oil as a key issue. That increases the total U.S. tariff on Indian goods to 50%. These increased duties will come intoRead more

    You’re not mistaken — on August 6, 2025, President Donald Trump signed an executive order imposing an additional 25% tariff on imports from India, citing India’s purchase of Russian oil as a key issue. That increases the total U.S. tariff on Indian goods to 50%. These increased duties will come into effect 21 days later (AP News).


    ⚠️ Details & Timeline

    • The initial 25% tariff was announced on July 30, set to begin August 1; it targeted Indian goods in response to trade barriers and India’s purchases of energy and arms from Russia (Politico).
    • The additional 25% “penalty” tariff, raising the total to 50%, was formally enacted on August 6. It specifically targets India’s Russian oil imports and will become effective 21 days later, giving India a brief window to negotiate (AP News).

    As of today, August 6, the combined tariff stands at 50%, though the full economic impacts will unfold after the effective date.


    🔎 Economic & Market Impact

    Impact on India

    • Sectors likely hardest hit include textiles, garments, jewelry, auto parts, electronics, and marine products — many of which depend heavily on U.S. exports (reuters.com).
    • Exporters in Gujarat, Maharashtra, and Morbi (especially ceramics) are warning of reduced competitiveness, lost margins, and heightened planning uncertainty (reuters.com).
    • Analysts expect export growth of Indian goods to decline, with potential GDP effects. Fitch has already trimmed India’s FY26 growth estimate to around 6.3% (www.ndtv.com, The Economic Times).

    Impact on U.S. Consumers and Businesses

    • Higher prices expected on products like Android smartphones, clothing, auto parts, and jewelry—U.S. consumers may face sticker shocks on even basic goods (Indiatimes).
    • Although some exports (e.g. pharmaceuticals and electronics) were exempted initially, the broader tariffs could still ripple across the U.S. supply chain (www.ndtv.com).
    • Corporate positioning impacted: ETFs tracking Indian equities, such as INDA, have dropped significantly amid investor concerns. India’s equities have slipped ~6% over the past month, contrasting sharply with gains in China’s ETFs (marketwatch.com).

    Strategic Responses

    • Despite rising tensions, companies like Apple, Google, Tesla, Costco, and others continue investing in India due to its key role in supply chain diversification. Google is building a major data center in Andhra Pradesh; Apple had already shifted part of its iPhone production to India—but now raises concerns about the new duty regime impacting that shift (reuters.com).
    • India continues to engage in trade talks with the U.S., aiming for a fair and mutually beneficial agreement. Negotiations over agriculture and market access remain central sticking points. A bilateral trade pact is expected to progress in late 2025 (India Briefing).

    📊 Summary Table

    Key Date Action Resulting Tariff on India
    Apr 2, 2025 Initial “reciprocal tariff” announced (26%) ~26% (temporary hold)
    Aug 1, 2025 25% tariff officially enacted 25%
    Aug 6, 2025 Executive order adds 25% penalty for Russian oil imports Total: 50% (effective ~Aug 27)

    ✅ In summary

    Yes — as of August 6, 2025, the U.S. tariff on Indian imports will reach 50%, including a new penalty tied to India’s Russian oil trade. All measures take full effect 21 days after the order’s signing. Trade tensions are escalating, trade talks remain critical, and key export sectors in India along with U.S. consumers and international firms are bracing for impact.

    Here’s what’s happening with the Z-10ME, Pakistan Army’s new Chinese-made attack helicopter—sometimes dubbed Pakistan’s answer to India’s Apache—and how it stacks up:


    What’s New with Pakistan’s Z-10ME?

    • Official induction: On August 2, 2025, Chief of Army Staff Field Marshal Asim Munir presided over the induction of the Z-10ME into the Pakistan Army, marking a strategic step in modernizing its aviation assets (Dawn).
    • Advanced features: The export-oriented Z-10ME is adapted for high-altitude, all-weather combat. It boasts powerful WZ-9G engines (~1,200 kW), infrared-suppressed exhaust, millimeter-wave radar, a 30 mm chain gun, six hardpoints, and compatibility with missiles (e.g., AKD-10, CM‑502KG), loitering munitions, drones, and even torpedo systems in some configurations (EURASIAN TIMES, Army Recognition, Peak Point, Suno News, thekhybermail.com, Indian Defence News, AInvest).
    • Strategic shift: With deals like the T‑129 failing due to export restrictions and limited access to Western suppliers, the Z-10ME marks Pakistan’s pivot toward China, aligning with a broader procurement trend from Beijing that now accounts for about 82% of imported military hardware (Army Recognition, Defence Security Asia, AInvest).
    • Regional impact: Analysts report that the Z-10ME could effectively plug the gap left by its aging AH‑1F Cobras and help balance India’s Apache advantage, especially in rugged border terrains along the LoC (Defence Security Asia, Indian Defence News, EURASIAN TIMES).

    Z-10ME vs. Apache – How Do They Compare?

    Feature Z-10ME AH‑64E Apache
    Avionics & Sensors Modern systems; millimeter-wave radar, electro-optical targeting, helmet-mounted displays (EURASIAN TIMES, Defence Security Asia, Indian Defence News) Longbow radar, advanced sensor suite, mature C2 interoperability
    Performance High-altitude optimized (~6,000 m ceiling), IR suppression, agile terrain maneuverability (EURASIAN TIMES, Indian Defence News, Army Recognition) Proven endurance and power; heavy payload; globally tested in wars
    Armament Portfolio 30 mm cannon, ATGMs (e.g., AKD‑10, CM‑502KG), air-to-air, loitering UAVs, rockets, torpedo options (Army Recognition, Peak Point) Hellfire missiles, 30 mm M230 cannon, rockets; interoperable armaments
    Survivability & Countermeasures DIRCM, composite armor, sand filters; cost-effective platform (Army Recognition, Indian Defence News) Highly battle-tested with advanced defenses; robust support systems
    Operational Familiarity New to regional forces, yet untested in combat zones (RESONANT NEWS – Resonates with Truth) Combat-proven across multiple theatres and nations
    • While the Apache remains a more mature and combat-proven system, the Z-10ME offers a competitively affordable, modern, and terrain-optimized solution tailored to Pakistan’s strategic environment.

    Final Thoughts

    The induction of the Z‑10ME reflects a significant evolution in Pakistan’s aerial warfare posture. By shifting towards a domestically streamlined Chinese ecosystem—from tanks to air defense and now rotary-wing aviation—Pakistan is better positioned for integrated battlefield operations, especially in high-altitude, contested environments.

    Though the Apache still holds technological and combat-proven advantages, the Z‑10ME narrows the gap in capability at lower cost, while aligning with Pakistan’s long-term strategic alliances.

    Let me know if you’d like to explore how this addition might shape future engagements along the LoC or influence helicopter modernization strategies in the region.

    Here’s why Pakistan was unable to stop the missiles launched by India—a mix of technical, tactical, and strategic limitations.


    1. Limitations of Air-Defense Against Air-to-Ground Missiles

    • According to former Pakistan Air Force officials, while their air-defense architecture is capable of intercepting ground‑launched cruise and ballistic missiles, it lacks systems designed specifically for air-to-ground missile threats, especially fast-moving ones (Fukatsoft).
    • These missiles, fired from aircraft, travel at hypersonic speeds (Mach 3–9)—reducing detection and response time drastically. Even global powers like the U.S., Russia, and China face challenges intercepting such fast weapons (Fukatsoft).

    2. Electronic Warfare and Radar Disruption

    • Analysis of Operation Sindoor indicates that India employed advanced electronic warfare tactics—including decoys and radar jamming—which effectively blinded Pakistan’s HQ-9 and LY-80 defense systems. This rendered them unable to detect or counter incoming missiles in time (OpIndia).

    3. Structural and Geographical Constraints

    • The shared, densely populated border—just a few meters wide in places—limits reaction time. Experts note that intercepting missiles before they enter Pakistani airspace in such proximity is practically impossible, regardless of system sophistication (Fukatsoft).
    • It would require enormous financial investment to sufficiently blanket the 2,500 km-long eastern frontier with effective air-defense coverage—and even then, interceptions wouldn’t be guaranteed (Fukatsoft).

    4. Holes in Defense Strategy and Equipment Reliability

    • During Operation Sindoor—a series of surprise strikes—No Pakistani missile was intercepted; the air-defense grid remained unresponsive even as strikes hit intended targets (Business Today, OpIndia).
    • The destruction of Pakistan’s AWACS platform further exposed surveillance gaps, undermining real-time detection and response (The Economic Times).
    • Observers also highlight system vulnerabilities in Chinese-supplied air defense hardware, questioning their combat reliability under pressure (The Economic Times, Financial Times).

    🧭 Bottom Line

    Factor Impact on Intercepting Capability
    Absence of air-to-ground intercept systems No tailored defense for missiles launched from aircraft
    Speed and altitude of missiles Extremely short reaction window due to hypersonic travel
    Electronic warfare disruption Jamming and decoys neutralized radar-based detection
    Geographic proximity Limited space for timely interception along the border
    Equipment and strategic gaps AWACS loss and Chinese system limitations accentuated vulnerability

    Pakistan’s inability to stop the strikes reflects a combination of technical limitations, strategic design gaps, and tactical surprise, rather than isolated equipment failure.

    Let me know if you’d like a deeper dive into radar systems, EW tactics, or defense upgrades underway.

    • Both Adani and Modi hail from the Indian state of Gujarat. Their association dates back more than two decades, from Modi’s tenure as Gujarat’s chief minister. Adani emerged early on as a key supporter of Modi’s political and economic vision for the state.(Foreign Policy, The Guardian)

    2. Close Personal and Professional Ties

    • Adani has frequently accompanied Modi on international trips, sometimes flying on Adani’s private aircraft. When Modi moved to Delhi as Prime Minister in 2014, he even used the plane.(CNBC, Foreign Policy)
    • Their association goes beyond professional corridors—Modi reportedly attended Adani’s son’s wedding and has appeared alongside him repeatedly in global forums.(Crikey, Foreign Policy)

    3. Business Growth & Allegations of Cronyism

    • During Modi’s national leadership, the Adani Group significantly expanded, gaining numerous major infrastructure and energy contracts—leading analysts to say their fortunes “have been connected,” with Adani often cast as a “poster child” of Modi’s development model.(CNBC, The Guardian, Wikipedia, Foreign Policy)
    • Critics and political opponents—including Rahul Gandhi—have accused the duo of enabling “crony capitalism,” pointing to government concessions, policy adjustments, and preferential contracts.(Wikipedia, The Hindu, AP News, The Guardian)

    4. Denials and Defense

    • Both Adani and the government have denied allegations of favoritism. Adani regards the relationship as professional and credits broader economic reforms (including those from prior governments) for his business’s expansion.(The Times of India, Wikipedia, CNBC)
    • Modi has remained discreet on individual business ties, stating, “two prominent leaders of two countries never discuss individual issues,” in response to questions about Adani.(mint)

    Summary

    Gautam Adani and Narendra Modi share a longstanding, deeply intertwined connection—anchored in their Gujarat roots and reinforced through frequent high-profile joint appearances and infrastructure projects. Adani’s rapid rise under Modi’s national leadership fueled both praise for execution capability and sharp critique of cronyism. Both parties have consistently rejected the characterization of undue favoritism.

    🔹 What Did Macron Announce?

    French President Emmanuel Macron stated on July 24, 2025, that France plans to formally recognize the State of Palestine during the United Nations General Assembly in September 2025, positioning France as the first major Western power to take this step (euronews, euronews).


    🔹 Trump’s Response

    U.S. President Donald Trump, speaking at the White House on July 25, 2025, dismissed Macron’s announcement as inconsequential. He said “what he says doesn’t matter,” calling Macron a “good guy” but insisting the declaration lacks impact and will change nothing (Reuters).


    🔹 Official U.S. Condemnation — Rubio & Republican Leaders

    U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio issued a strong rebuke via X:

    “This reckless decision only serves Hamas propaganda and sets back peace. It is a slap in the face to the victims of October 7.” (mint)

    Senators Lindsay Graham and Tom Cotton joined the criticism, warning that the recognition could embolden Hamas and undermine peace negotiations (The Bullet).


    🔹 Israeli Reaction

    Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu labeled Macron’s announcement as rewarding terror and a threat to Israeli security. He argued that recognizing a Palestinian state under current conditions could create another Iranian-backed proxy (Irish Examiner).
    Deputy Prime Minister Yariv Levin called it “a disgrace and a surrender to terrorism,” suggesting Israel should respond by applying sovereignty to parts of the West Bank (The Bullet).


    🔹 Support and Broader Context

    • France, along with Saudi Arabia, Spain, Jordan, and others, praised the move as a step toward peace and international recognition of Palestinian self-determination (Arab News).
    • Hussein al‑Sheikh, Vice President of the Palestinian Authority, said the decision reflects France’s historic support for Palestinian rights (euronews).
