External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Thursday (local time) said the attack by Hamas on Israel on October 7 was a "big act of terrorism" and pointed out that there was also an issue of Palestine, which, he said, has to have a solution.
Speaking at a Joint Secretary Session of the Senate's External Affairs and Defence Commission in Rome, Jaishankar said dialogue and negotiation can be the solution to address the Israel-Palestine conflict and underlined that terrorism was "unacceptable".
He also reiterated that India's stand on the issue has been a two-state solution.

South Africa has told a UN court the situation in Gaza is at a "new and horrific stage" - as it tries to convince it to order a ceasefire and stop Israel's.. Sky News
Lawyer Adila Hassim addressed the court, emphasising that South Africa had been compelled to return to the court due to Israel's defiance of earlier provisional measures. She noted that since Israel initiated its incursion of Rafah, 600,000 Palestinians had been forced to flee, without any safe havens. Palestinians in Gaza, she stated, were still being subjected to an ongoing and intensifying genocide, with their future hanging in the balance. Since South Africa first appeared before the ICJ in January, she highlighted that at least 11,500 Palestinians had been directly killed by Israel, with the majority being women and children. On average, she mentioned, two mothers and four children were killed every hour. She emphasized that this onslaught had occurred despite the binding orders of the court..

Houthi rebels claimed targeting a U.S. Navy destroyer and a commercial ship in the Red Sea, though the warship intercepted the missile days prior. The statement follows a slowdown in Houthi attacks on shipping, attributed by the U.S. military to airstrikes and interceptions. The attacks are purportedly aimed at pressuring Israel regarding the conflict in Gaza, resulting in disruptions to shipping activity.

Hamas announced on Friday its intention to send a delegation to Cairo to discuss a potential hostages-for-truce agreement with Israel. This development coincided with the arrival of US CIA Director William Burns in the Egyptian capital, as reported by Egyptian sources. Egypt, along with Qatar and the United States, has been actively mediating between Israel and Hamas, aiming to broker a ceasefire in the Gaza conflict, which escalated following Hamas's devastating attack on October 7. According to an Egyptian security source, Hamas and CIA representatives are scheduled to meet Egyptian mediators on Saturday. However, it remains unclear whether these meetings will be held separately or together. Hamas expressed its delegation's positive outlook towards the discussions after reviewing the latest truce proposal, affirming its determination to secure an agreement that meets Palestinian demands. While the United States has acknowledged some progress in the negotiations, the CIA declined to comment, adhering to its policy of not disclosing the director's travel details.

Seven months into the conflict triggered by Hamas's October 7 attack, Israeli forces are engaged in fierce battles with Palestinian militants in Gaza, focusing on Rafah near the Egyptian border and new flashpoints in northern and central areas. An incident of friendly fire in Jabalia resulted in the deaths of five Israeli soldiers and injuries to seven others. Despite heavy fighting and Israeli airstrikes across Gaza, Prime Minister Netanyahu has ordered an offensive in Rafah, claiming mass evacuations have prevented a humanitarian catastrophe. He emphasised that planning for Gaza's future governance is premature until Hamas is defeated. Defense Minister Yoav Gallant countered by calling for Palestinian entities, supported by international actors, to govern Gaza post-conflict. Meanwhile, Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh declared that Hamas and other Palestinian factions would determine Gaza's governance, reiterating demands for a permanent ceasefire and the lifting of the siege. The conflict has resulted in significant casualties, with 278 Israeli troops and at least 35,233 Palestinians killed, and has led to severe shortages of essential supplies in Gaza.

In a significant political challenge to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant urged Netanyahu to make difficult decisions for non-Hamas governance in Gaza, warning that the current war gains are at risk and Israel's long-term security is endangered. Gallant strongly opposed Israeli civil or military rule in Gaza, advocating instead for governance by non-Hamas Palestinian entities with international support. He stressed the urgent need for a viable alternative to Hamas to prevent the group from regrouping and undermining Israel's military achievements. Gallant called for Netanyahu to publicly reject the idea of continued Israeli control in Gaza, warning that indecision could lead to detrimental options: continued Hamas rule or Israeli military governance. He emphasised the importance of political action alongside military efforts and the critical role of all government departments in achieving this goal.

Hamas has been planning to establish a covert base in Turkey and other terror cells to coordinate attacks against Israeli targets, including NATO members, according to a document captured by the IDF in Gaza, reported by The Times. The document, found in the home of a key Hamas leader’s chief of staff, outlines a strategy to create secret bases to bolster resistance forces and conduct intelligence and military operations. The plan includes targeted assassinations, sabotage of Israeli naval vessels, and kidnappings. The Turkish government, supportive of Hamas, labels it a "liberation group." President Erdogan has harshly criticised Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, stating his methods would make "Hitler jealous." Erdogan also announced that over 1,000 Hamas members are being treated in Turkish hospitals and expressed disappointment over Greece’s stance that Hamas is a terrorist organisation. Despite public support, Erdogan denies that Hamas conducts terrorist operations from Turkey.

The recent meeting between Hassan Nasrallah of Hezbollah and Khalil al-Hayya of Hamas, reported by Al Mayadeen news, focused on Gaza developments, ceasefire talks, and broader regional issues. The encounter emphasised solidarity within the Iran-aligned "axis of resistance" against Israel. Escalating tensions include Hezbollah's attacks on northern Israel and Israel's warnings of military action in southern Lebanon. A senior Hezbollah commander's death led to rocket strikes on Israel, intensifying the conflict, with both sides employing advanced weaponry. The situation remains precarious along the Israel-Lebanon border.

This Day in History: , Pope John Paul II Is Shot.
May 13, 1981.
Mehmet Ali Agca shot
Pope John Paul several times
in St. Peter's Square in Vatican City.
Agca was a Turkish terrorist
and fugitive wanted for the
murder of a journalist.
The Pontiff was rushed to
the hospital and survived
the attack, asking for Catholics
to pray for the would-be assassin.
In a trial considered extraordinary
because of its short length, Agca
was found guilty and sentenced to life in prison.
In 1983, Pope John Paul visited
Agca in prison and publicly
forgave him for the shooting.
In 2000, the Pope requested
a pardon for Agca, which was
granted. Agca was released
from prison.
14 years later, Argca returned to
Rome to lay white roses
on John Paul's tomb
