India backs early Gaza truce: EAM Jaishankar to Saudi counterpart
Wednesday, 13 November 2024 During a meeting with Saudi Arabian counterpart Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud, Indian External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar expressed support for a swift ceasefire in Gaza. While condemning terrorism and hostage-taking, Jaishankar stressed the importance of international humanitarian law in responding to the crisis and highlighted India's commitment to a two-state solution for the Palestinian issue.
In a striking display of diplomatic unity, Saudi Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan declared that Riyadh welcomes Russia’s role in Middle Eastern affairs during a high-profile press conference with Russian FM Sergey Lavrov in Moscow. The comment signals a major shift in Gulf geopolitics, showing Saudi Arabia's increasing tilt toward Moscow as regional dynamics evolve. Lavrov and Farhan met at the Russian MFA Reception House, emphasizing cooperation on regional security, energy, and investment. Farhan praised Russia’s involvement as “always welcome,” underlining a growing partnership despite global Western efforts to isolate Moscow. The press conference further confirms Russia's expanding clout in the Gulf as the Kremlin strengthens alliances outside the West. The talks come amid heightened tensions in the region, and suggest Saudi Arabia is now playing a more independent, multi-vector diplomatic game — balancing its ties between Washington, Moscow, and Beijing.

Rising tensions in the Gulf have prompted Saudi Arabia to urgently deploy its US-made THAAD (Terminal High Altitude Area Defense) air defense system amid fresh Iranian threats of missile attacks. Intelligence reports warn that Iran could target critical Saudi infrastructure and American military assets in the region. The deployment underscores deepening security cooperation between Washington and Riyadh, even as US officials privately admit concern about Iran’s expanding missile capabilities.

Israel has firmly rejected Hamas' proposed changes to the Qatari-mediated ceasefire deal, calling them "unacceptable." Despite this, Prime Minister Netanyahu has directed Israel’s negotiating team to proceed to Qatar on Sunday for proximity talks, as part of the ongoing U.S.-brokered effort led by President Donald Trump. The original deal envisions a 60-day ceasefire, release of hostages, and negotiations to end the 21-month-long war. Hamas had earlier described its response as “positive,” signaling openness to immediate talks. However, Israel’s statement indicates a stark gap between the two sides. Trump, who termed the ceasefire proposal as his “final offer,” remains optimistic, though tensions around the edits by Hamas raise serious doubts. The move comes amid intensifying international pressure and rising death tolls in Gaza. The talks in Qatar may be the last viable opportunity to reach a breakthrough—or confirm the collapse of yet another peace effort.TAGS

Hamas has responded "in a positive spirit" to a U.S.-brokered ceasefire deal proposed by President Donald Trump, opening the door for negotiations to end the 21-month-long Gaza war. The proposal includes a 60-day ceasefire, return of hostages, and negotiations on long-term peace. Trump, optimistic about a breakthrough, warned Israeli PM Netanyahu to act swiftly. However, differences remain, including troop withdrawal timelines and humanitarian access. Overnight, Israeli strikes killed at least 138 Palestinians, including children in Khan Younis. Meanwhile, hostages’ families marked U.S. Independence Day in Tel Aviv by calling on Trump to “make the deal.” The situation remains fragile as both sides weigh the terms.
