'No alternative to dialogue & diplomacy': India welcomes ceasefire between Israel and Iran; says ready to play part in efforts
Tuesday, 24 June 2025 India has expressed its approval of the ceasefire between Israel and Iran, acknowledging it as a positive move amidst rising regional tensions. The Ministry of External Affairs lauded the diplomatic efforts of the United States and Qatar in facilitating the fragile truce. India reiterated that dialogue is essential for resolving regional disputes and offered support for further peacebuilding initiatives.
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.

A dramatic twist in the Gaza war has rocked Israel’s military establishment. Reports claim Hamas fighters have captured and destroyed hundreds of Israel’s vaunted Merkava tanks, delivering a stunning blow to the backbone of the IDF’s ground forces. In response, Israel’s Defense Ministry has rushed to approve a massive $1.5 billion program to accelerate production of Merkava tanks, Namer armored personnel carriers, and Eitan APCs to replenish battlefield losses. Verified footage shows Hamas deploying RPGs, anti-tank missiles, and tunnel ambushes that turned the Gaza battlefield into a graveyard of armor. For Hamas, destroying a Merkava is seen as a symbolic and strategic victory, undermining the image of Israeli military superiority. The scale of losses has raised serious questions about Israel’s readiness, sparking urgent debate on the future of ground warfare. Watch how this battle is reshaping the entire conflict.

In a bold diplomatic and military move, India hosted Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. with full state honours—while simultaneously dispatching warships for joint patrols in the South China Sea. INS Delhi, INS Shakti and INS Kiltan sailed alongside Philippine vessels inside Manila’s exclusive economic zone, triggering a subtle yet unmistakable warning to China. The Indian Ministry of External Affairs reaffirmed support for freedom of navigation, calling the waters part of the “global commons.”
The joint drill coincided with Marcos’ five-day India visit, where the two nations signed a landmark Strategic Partnership agreement to boost defence, maritime cooperation, disaster relief and cyber security. While India didn’t name China, Beijing’s rebuke of “third-party interference” left little ambiguity. The coordinated political hospitality and military manoeuvres signal India’s rising Indo-Pacific assertiveness and a strategic alignment with one of China’s fiercest regional rivals—firmly placing New Delhi in the emerging anti-China security web across the Indo-Pacific.

India’s Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) has finally addressed the rising buzz around Donald Trump’s proposed tariffs on Indian exports. During a high-level media briefing that followed Prime Minister Modi’s meeting with Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., the MEA clarified that no direct discussion took place on Trump’s recent tariff threats. Instead, the focus was on strengthening India-Philippines trade ties, expanding product diversity, and cooperation in space technology. India showcased its cost-effective space capabilities, with both countries expressing interest in launching and developing satellites together.
The Philippines also supported India’s call to expedite the ITAGA trade review. While the Trump tariffs remain unaddressed formally, India is clearly moving to diversify partnerships and preempt economic turbulence. The strategic dialogue underlined India’s growing regional influence, especially in light of evolving Indo-Pacific geopolitics and rising trade protectionism from Washington.

After Hamas accepted new ceasefire terms to release half of the hostages, Israel has shifted conditions, demanding the release of all 50 remaining captives. The move risks derailing a Qatar- and Egypt-brokered truce. Netanyahu insists war will only end if Hamas disarms, Gaza is demilitarized, and Israeli security control is secured. With over 62,000 killed and Gaza on the brink of famine, Trump’s call for the “full destruction of Hamas” fuels fears of a trilateral conflict involving the U.S., Israel, and Hamas.
