Saudi’s MBS Humiliated By Israel? Netanyahu BLOCKS Saudi Delegation; BANS Them From West Bank

In a stunning diplomatic snub, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government has barred Saudi Arabia’s Foreign Minister and a high-level Arab delegation from entering the West Bank for a planned visit to Ramallah. The move, widely seen as a direct blow to Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s regional peace efforts, comes amid soaring tensions over new Israeli settlement expansions. Israel called the visit “provocative” and slammed the Palestinian Authority for failing to condemn past attacks #Israel #SaudiArabia #IsraelSaudiRelations #IsraelNews #MiddleEastTensions #SaudiIsraelTalks #WestBankCrisis #PalestineConflict #IsraelPalestine #SaudiVsIsrael #PeaceInCrisis #SaudiDelegationBlocked #NetanyahuNews #MBSIsraelSnub #MiddleEastDiplomacy Also Read Middle East: UN Labels Gaza 'The Hungriest Place On Earth' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/middle-east-un-labels-gaza-the-hungriest-place-on-earth-4168609.html?ref=DMDesc Shots Fired Outside CIA Headquarters Hours After Israeli Embassy Staff Killings :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/shots-fired-outside-cia-headquarters-hours-after-israeli-embassy-staff-killings-4161067.html?ref=DMDesc Hamas Releases US-Israeli Hostage Edan Alexander Ahead of Trump’s Middle East Visit :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/hamas-releases-us-israeli-hostage-edan-alexander-ahead-of-trump-s-middle-east-visit-4151571.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~PR.274~ED.103~GR.124~

Shashi Tharoor TEARS INTO U.S ‘Mediation’ In India-PAK Ceasefire | Delegation SLAMS West’s Media

Congress MP Shashi Tharoor clarified India’s position on third-party mediation amid Operation Sindoor. He revealed that several global powers—including the U.S., France, UAE, and Saudi Arabia—reached out following India’s retaliatory strikes. Tharoor emphasized that India is not seeking war, but acted against terrorism. Any message relayed to Pakistan was indirect, not part of a formal mediation process. Tharoor reaffirmed that India never initiated aggression, maintaining a clear stance: “If they stop, we stop.” #OperationSindoor #IndiaPakistan #ShashiTharoor #NoMediation #AntiTerrorStrike #IndiaStandsFirm #PakistanTerror #TharoorStatement #IndiaForeignPolicy #WarOnTerror #IndiaNews #GlobalDiplomacy #NoToWar #IndianArmy #IndiaDefence #UAE #USIndiaRelations #France #SaudiArabia #IndiaPeace #SecurityFirst #RetaliationNotWar #IndiaResponds #IndiaPakistanTensions #IndiaSpeaks #BreakingNews #ANI #PeaceNotWar #IndiaInFocus #GeoPolitics #TerrorResponse Also Read Congress Vs Shashi Tharoor Strife Deepens: Party Says He's Part Of Family, MP Hits Out At Critics :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/congress-vs-shashi-tharoor-strife-deepens-party-says-hes-part-of-family-mp-hits-out-at-critics-4167287.html?ref=DMDesc Multi-Party Indian Delegation In Guyana Backs Tharoor’s Tough Message On Terrorism :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/multi-party-indian-delegation-in-guyana-backs-tharoor-s-tough-message-on-terrorism-4164031.html?ref=DMDesc Shashi Tharoor Says 'I Don't Work For Govt', Backs Operation Sindoor As India's Response To Pahalgam Attack :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/shashi-tharoor-says-i-dont-work-for-govt-backs-operation-sindoor-as-indias-response-to-pahalgam-4163119.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.102~

Gulf Royals Begged Trump to Halt Iran Strike? MBS, MBZ, Emir Tamim Warned Trump About War With Iran [Video]

Gulf Royals Begged Trump to Halt Iran Strike? MBS, MBZ, Emir Tamim Warned Trump About War With Iran

In a dramatic diplomatic twist, Gulf powerhouses Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar reportedly urged President Trump to stand down from launching a military strike on Iran. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS), UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed (MBZ), and Qatari Emir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani warned that such action could provoke devastating Iranian retaliation—especially against U.S. bases on Gulf soil. As fears of regional chaos mounted, the Gulf leaders pushed Trump toward diplomacy and a new nuclear deal instead of confrontation. Trump, meanwhile, told Israeli PM Netanyahu to hold back on unilateral action and hinted that a “very strong document” with Iran could be signed soon. #Trump #IranStrike #MBS #MBZ #EmirTamim #GulfDiplomacy #MiddleEastCrisis #TrumpIranTensions #SaudiArabia #UAE #Qatar #IranDeal #TrumpForeignPolicy #NoWarWithIran #GulfStates Also Read Appeals Court Allows Trump To Continue Collecting Tariffs Under Emergency Powers Law For Now :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/appeals-court-allows-trump-to-continue-collecting-tariffs-under-emergency-powers-law-for-now-4167703.html?ref=DMDesc Harvard Granted One Month Extension In Trump Dispute Over International Student Ban: Reports :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/harvard-granted-one-month-extension-in-trump-dispute-over-international-student-ban-reports-4167515.html?ref=DMDesc Elon Musk Exits Trump Administration After Slamming ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ on His Way Out :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/elon-musk-exits-trump-administration-after-slamming-big-beautiful-bill-on-his-way-out-4166709.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.346~
