India, Saudi Arabia hold inaugural army-to-army staff talks, with focus on defence cooperation
Friday, 25 April 2025 India and Saudi Arabia convened the inaugural Army-to-Army Staff Talks in New Delhi, solidifying defense cooperation through the Annual Defence Cooperation Plan. Discussions centered on Joint Exercise Sada Tanseeq, military training, and operational logistics. Both nations aim to enhance interoperability and capability development, building upon Prime Minister Modi's visit and the deepening strategic partnership.
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

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.”

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.
