Israel & Hamas agreed to a ceasefire in Gaza for at least 4 days to let in humanitarian aid & free 50 hostages by Hamas. Starting time of truce yet to be officially announced.
Israel govt says for every additional 10 hostages released, the pause in fighting would be extended by another day. Hamas is believed to be holding more than 200 Israeli hostages.
The statement named two women as Nurit Cooper and Yocheved Lifshitz & said they were kidnapped along with their husbands near Gaza border. Husbands still being held, it added.
Disenfranchisement by institutional fiat is profoundly undemocratic. The effect of the ECI's new documentary process in Bihar will tilt the scales in favour of the BJP.
Mini deal will likely see no cut in 10% baseline tariff on Indian exports announced by Trump on 2 April, it is learnt, but additional 26% tariffs are set to be reduced.
India-Russia JV is also racing to deliver 7,000 more AK-203 assault rifles by 15 Aug. These are currently being made with 50% indigenisation and this will surge to 100% by 31 December.
Public, loud, upfront, filled with impropriety and high praise sometimes laced with insults. This is what we call Trumplomacy. But the larger objective is the same: American supremacy.
