'Typical patriarchy': On Palestine bag row, Priyanka Gandhi says 'will wear what I want'
Monday, 16 December 2024 Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi carried a bag with "Palestine" written on it in Parliament. The bag also featured a watermelon, a symbol of Palestinian solidarity. This followed Gandhi's meeting with a Palestinian diplomat. The BJP criticized the gesture as appeasement. They said it was an attempt to grab headlines after election losses.
Priyanka Gandhi sparked controversy in Parliament after being seen with a bag from Bangladesh, just one day after her comments on the Palestine issue drew attention.

Ceasefire hopes dim as the first round of indirect talks between Israel and Hamas ends inconclusively in Doha, Qatar. According to Palestinian sources, the Israeli delegation arrived without the authority to finalize a deal — casting serious doubt on Netanyahu’s commitment to ending the war. Meanwhile, Gaza remains under siege, with over 57,000 Palestinians killed, infrastructure destroyed, and hostages still held captive. As Netanyahu heads to Washington for a third meeting with President Trump, pressure mounts from both international mediators and citizens at home demanding action.
Is a deal still possible — or is peace slipping further away?

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.
