WATCH How China Blasts Israel As The ‘Occupying Power’ at the United Nations

In a fiery intervention at the United Nations, China accused Israel of being the “occupying power” in Gaza and demanded an immediate halt to its plans to seize Palestinian land. Speaking at the UN, Chinese Deputy Permanent Representative Geng Shuang warned that Israel’s intentions would further inflame regional tensions and undermine peace efforts. He sharply criticized Israel for showing “low political will” toward any genuine action for peace, accusing Tel Aviv of escalating the conflict instead of resolving it. China reaffirmed its support for a two-state solution and emphasized the urgent need for the international community to hold Israel accountable. The strong remarks mark one of Beijing’s boldest positions yet on the Gaza crisis, underscoring its growing influence in Middle East diplomacy. Israel has yet to respond formally, but the comments highlight widening global divisions over Gaza and the future of the Palestinian territories. #China #Israel #UnitedNations #Gaza #Palestine #OccupyingPower #MiddleEastConflict #GengShuang #UNSpeech #IsraelPalestine #TwoStateSolution #ChinaUN #GlobalDiplomacy #GazaCrisis #UNResolution #IsraelOccupied #ChinaIsrael #PeaceTalks #Geopolitics #BreakingNews

All-Out Middle East War | Hamas ROARS at Netanyahu’s ‘Fascist Aggression’ as Israel STRIKES Houthis

The Middle East spirals into deeper chaos as Hamas vows revenge after Israeli airstrikes killed 10 people in Yemen’s capital, Sana’a. The strikes followed Houthi missile attacks on Tel Aviv, intensifying Israel’s two-front war. Hamas denounced Netanyahu’s “fascist aggression” and urged Arab unity, while Islamic Jihad signaled readiness to join the fight. Analysts warn that a Hamas-Houthi-Islamic Jihad coalition, backed by Iran, could overstretch the IDF. With Netanyahu rejecting peace deals and Iran pushing for revenge, fears of World War 3 escalation grow. #Israel #Hamas #Houthis #IslamicJihad #GazaWar #BreakingNews #MiddleEastCrisis #Netanyahu #Iran #WorldWar3 #USIsrael #ZionistAggression #IDF #WarCrimes #TelAviv #Sanaa #YemenStrikes #ArabUnity #GazaCrisis #IranBacked #GlobalConflict #IsraelVsHouthis #GazaOffensive #HamasRevenge #MiddleEastTensions Also Read Netanyahu Defends Expanded Military Offensive in Gaza Amid Domestic and International Criticism :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/netanyahu-defends-new-military-offensive-in-gaza-011-7825995.html?ref=DMDesc Netanyahu Defends Expanded Military Offensive in Gaza Amid Domestic and International Concerns :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/netanyahu-defends-new-military-offensive-in-gaza-011-7825985.html?ref=DMDesc Netanyahu Defends Expanded Military Offensive in Gaza Amid International Criticism :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/netanyahu-defends-new-military-offensive-in-gaza-011-7825981.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.194~HT.408~

Air India Incident: Runway Scare at Mumbai Airport During Heavy Rain

An Air India incident was narrowly averted at Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport on July 21, 2025, when flight AI 2744, an Airbus A320 from Kochi, veered off the runway during heavy rainfall. The Air India incident occurred at 9:27 AM, as the aircraft briefly entered a muddy area near the runway but returned to the tarmac without getting stuck. While all passengers and crew were safe, three tyres burst and possible engine damage was reported. The Air India incident prompted activation of emergency response teams, and operations have shifted to the secondary runway as minor damage was sustained on the primary strip. #AirIndiaIncident #MumbaiAirport #RunwayExcursion #AviationNews #EmergencyLanding ~HT.410~PR.282~GR.125~PR.152~

India BLASTS 'Twisted' U.S Report On Air India Crash, Denies Pilot Fuel Cut Claim As ‘Baseless….’ [Video]

India BLASTS 'Twisted' U.S Report On Air India Crash, Denies Pilot Fuel Cut Claim As ‘Baseless….’

Fresh controversy has erupted over the fatal Air India crash in Gujarat’s Ahmedabad last month. A Wall Street Journal report claims a cockpit recording reveals the captain cut off the aircraft’s fuel midair, moments after takeoff. The first officer, reportedly panicked, questioned the captain’s move, as per the leaked cockpit transcript. Both pilots, Captain Sumeet Sabharwal and First Officer Clive Kunder, were killed along with 240 others onboard and 19 on the ground—only one person survived. While the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau's (AIIB) preliminary report confirms both fuel switches were turned off within a second, it doesn’t state whether the action was accidental or deliberate. India’s Civil Aviation Minister urged restraint, saying no conclusions should be drawn yet. The Federation of Indian Pilots (FIP) has strongly condemned the US media report, calling it speculative and harmful. Meanwhile, Air India completed checks on the Fuel Control Switches in all Boeing 787s with no issues found. #AirIndiaCrash #PilotControversy #FuelCutAllegation #787Dreamliner #AviationProbe #FlightBlackBox #AirIndiaNews #WallStreetJournal #Boeing787 #IndianAviation #AhmedabadCrash #PilotLastWords #CivilAviationIndia #CrashInvestigation #PlaneCrashUpdate #CockpitRecording #FlightDisaster #AviationSafety #DGCAIndia #PilotBodyCondemnsReport ~ED.102~GR.124~HT.96~
