'Business-like approach unlikely to succeed': India cautions UNGA over Afghanistan; abstains on draft resolution
Tuesday, 8 July 2025 () India abstained from the UNGA resolution on Afghanistan, emphasizing that a conventional approach won't achieve desired outcomes for the Afghan people. India's UN envoy, P Harish, advocated for a balanced strategy that combines incentives and disincentives, as punitive measures alone are unlikely to succeed.

In a dramatic global twist, Russia has declared full support for Palestinian statehood, with Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov reaffirming Moscow's long-standing commitment to a two-state solution. The statement comes on the heels of French President Emmanuel Macron’s bombshell announcement that France will recognize Palestine at the upcoming UN General Assembly in September — making it the first major Western power to do so. Russia, which adopted Palestine’s 1988 declaration of independence under the USSR, insists that peace in the Middle East hinges on UN Security Council resolutions and the establishment of a sovereign Palestinian state. Macron’s decision has enraged Israel and the U.S., with Netanyahu calling it a “reward for terror” and Secretary of State Marco Rubio labeling it “reckless.” Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia and Spain have praised the move, calling it “historic.” Over 59,000 Palestinians have died in the ongoing Gaza war, intensifying the global demand for Palestinian recognition.

French President Emmanuel Macron has announced that France will formally recognize the State of Palestine at the upcoming UN General Assembly, a move that has ignited fierce backlash from the United States and Israel. As Macron pushes for an urgent end to the war in Gaza and calls for peace, Hamas praises France’s decision as a “positive step” and urges other nations to follow suit. Meanwhile, Israel threatens to annex the West Bank, condemning France’s shift as a direct aid to terrorism. This bold stance by Europe’s most powerful nation marks a dramatic escalation in the international conflict surrounding Gaza, with global pressure mounting amid a worsening humanitarian crisis. Stay tuned for full coverage of the fallout from this historic diplomatic move.
