2-state formula key, but terror unacceptable: EAM on West Asia
Thursday, 5 December 2024 External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar defended India's abstention from a UN resolution on the Israel-Palestine conflict, citing concerns about the resolution's language and its lack of reference to terrorism and hostage-taking. He reiterated India's support for a two-state solution and condemned both terrorism and civilian casualties, urging a ceasefire and adherence to humanitarian law.
Syria’s former Foreign Minister Farouk Al-Sharaa has agreed—under a secret deal—to drop Damascus’s longstanding claim to the Golan Heights in exchange for undisclosed political and security guarantees from Israel. If confirmed, the move would mark a historic shift in Middle East geopolitics, potentially opening the door to broader normalization between the two countries.

The United States has confirmed it is sending another Patriot air defense system to Ukraine to help the war-torn nation counter Russia's escalating aerial assaults. This decision comes as former President Donald Trump issued a strong statement, bashing Russian President Vladimir Putin for his aggressive military strategy. For months, Ukraine has pleaded for more advanced air defense, as the previous freeze in U.S. military aid allowed Russian warplanes to dominate the skies and launch devastating strikes with ballistic missiles like the Iskander and the hypersonic Kinzhal.
The Patriot system is considered Ukraine's only reliable and effective shield against these specific high-speed threats. Its advanced radar and PAC-3 MSE interceptors are critical for protecting high-value targets, including the capital city of Kyiv, and vital energy infrastructure that Russia has systematically targeted. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has stated that Ukraine needs more of these systems, as the current six to eight units leave vast areas of the country exposed to Russian attacks.
However, the deployment is not without risks. Each Patriot missile costs between $2-4 million, and Russia actively targets these valuable systems on the battlefield. The U.S. itself has a limited global inventory of Patriot units, balancing urgent requests from Ukraine with strategic commitments to allies in the Middle East and the South China Sea. This deployment signals a critical phase in the Russia-Ukraine war, testing both Ukrainian resilience and American strategic resolve.

Macron has issued a stark warning about a “war without end” in Gaza, urging UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer to take a bold diplomatic step by officially recognising the State of Palestine. Speaking amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict, Macron called for a renewed international push toward a two-state solution, warning that without political resolution, the region risks spiraling into permanent instability.

In a tense Oval Office dinner on July 7, 2025, President Trump directly asked Prime Minister Netanyahu about the viability of a two-state solution. Instead of embracing Palestinian sovereignty, Netanyahu fired back: "Overall security will always remain in our hands", rejecting a fully independent Palestinian state. As Gaza ceasefire and hostage negotiations unfold, this blunt dismissal marks a dramatic shift in U.S.–Israel diplomacy—and raises alarming questions about the future of Palestinian autonomy and regional security.

In a move meant to demonstrate “necessary flexibility,” Hamas has announced plans to release ten Israeli hostages to help accelerate stalled ceasefire negotiations with Israel. The militant group said the gesture is part of “intensive and responsible efforts” to reach a comprehensive agreement. However, the core demands — including Israel’s withdrawal from Gaza, a permanent ceasefire, and the influx of humanitarian aid — remain under intense negotiation. Israel has so far rejected the terms. The announcement comes just days after Defense Minister Israel Katz revealed plans to relocate Gaza’s population to a so-called “humanitarian city” built on Rafah’s ruins. Rights groups have condemned it as an internment plan. With around 50 hostages still in captivity and only half believed to be alive, pressure is mounting. Over 57,000 Palestinians have died in Israel’s military campaign since October 2023, raising global demands for a resolution and accountability.
