IndiaTimes Saturday, 25 May 2024
Delhi is voting on May 25in the sixth phase of elections to elect seven candidates to the Lok Sabha. The BJP, which secured all seven seats in both the 2014 and 2019 elections, is confident of another victory. This time, its rivals, Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal's AAP and the Congress, have formed an alliance to break the BJP's winning streak, having contested separately in previous polls. However, data indicates that even their combined efforts may fall short of defeating the BJP in most constituencies.

Hamas Mocks ‘Delusional’ Netanyahu As Israel PM Defends ‘War With Iran,’ Urges Arms At U.S Congress

The Palestinian resistance movement Hamas has dismissed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s vision for a “future” Gaza Strip, excluding the resistance group from governance, as mere “delusions.” The remarks came in a statement from Hamas on Wednesday, following Netanyahu's speech to the US Congress. In his address, Netanyahu outlined a self-proclaimed vision for Gaza, claiming the Israeli regime aimed to “eliminate” Hamas through an ongoing military campaign. This conflict, which began on October 7, has resulted in the deaths of at least 39,670 Palestinians, predominantly women and children, without achieving the stated goal of defeating the resistance. #Hamas #Netanyahu #HamasSlamsNetanyahu #NetanyahuUSCongress #IsraelPM #DelusionalNetanyahu #WarWithIran #USCongress #ArmsForIsrael #MiddleEastConflict #HamasResponse #NetanyahuSpeech #IsraeliPolitics #GazaConflict #IranTensions #CongressAddress #PoliticalDrama
