India on Thursday reaffirmed its long-standing position on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict following the recent recognition of Palestine by Ireland, Norway, and Spain. Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal highlighted India's historical support for Palestinian statehood and a two-state solution. When asked about the coordinated decision by Spain, Ireland, and Norway to formally recognise Palestine, Jaiswal, at a weekly press briefing, said, āAs you are aware, India was one of the first countries to recognise the state of Palestine in the late 1980s, and we have long supported a two-state solution which entails the establishment of a sovereign, viable, and independent state of Palestine within recognised and mutually agreed borders, living side by side with Israel in peace.ā

In response, Israel's government has accused Ireland,
Norway and Spain of rewarding terrorism, while also
withdrawing ambassadors from the countries. .
The recognition of a Palestinian state
by the three nations has increased pressure
on Israel to bring an end to the conflict in Gaza. .
BBC reports that two international courts have called for
an end to the war and accused Israel's Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu of committing war crimes.

At the same time, other western countries

settlers in occupied Palestinian territories. .
According to Ireland, Spain and Norway,
they recognize a Palestinian state based
on borders established prior to the war in 1967.
Before the war, Jerusalem was the
capital of both Israel and Palestine.
This is an important moment
and I think it sends a signal to
the world that there are practical
actions you can take as a country
to help keep the hope and destination
of a two-state solution alive at
a time when others are trying
to sadly bomb it into oblivion, Simon Harris, Prime Minister of Ireland, via BBC.

Iran has summoned Sweden's temporary charge d'affaires in response to what it termed "baseless & spiteful accusations" following claims by Sweden's intelligence agency that Iran has been "using criminal networks" within the Scandinavian country to target Israel and its interests.

Iran is allegedly behind a series of terror attacks carried out by criminal networks targeting Israeli embassies in Europe since October 7, according to the Mossad intelligence agency. The Mossad has been collaborating with European intelligence agencies to investigate these incidents. One significant attack occurred in January when an explosive device, reportedly a hand grenade, was found within the grounds of the Israeli Embassy in Stockholm. The Swedish national bomb squad safely destroyed the device. Subsequent investigations led to the conclusion that the Foxtrot organised crime ring in Sweden was responsible for the attack, acting on behalf of Iran, according to Mossad findings.

Scientists Discover , Hidden Indicator of Future , Weight Changes.
'Newsweek' reports that scientists
may have found a way to predict weight
gain or loss from the size of fat cells. .
Researchers from Sweden's Karolinska Institutet
measured the size and number of fat cells
in the abdominal fat of 260 volunteers. .
The team found that after an average
of 15 years, those with larger fat cells tended
to lose weight, while those with smaller fat
cells were more prone to gaining weight.
We can only speculate as to
why the size of a person's fat cells
seems to predict their future weight, Peter Arner, a professor in the Department of Medicine
at the Karolinska Institutet, via 'Newsweek'.
Body weight decreases when energy
expenditure exceeds intake and the
body burns off fat to compensate. , Peter Arner, a professor in the Department of Medicine
at the Karolinska Institutet, via 'Newsweek'.
Our results suggest that the loss
of large fat cells makes more
of an impact on weight
than the loss of small ones, Peter Arner, a professor in the Department of Medicine
at the Karolinska Institutet, via 'Newsweek'.
Peter Arner, one of the lead researchers on the study,
notes that smaller fat cells have also been found
to be linked to a better metabolic profile. .
This means that if someone with
small fat cells does gain weight,
it may not raise their risk of
conditions such as type 2 diabetes
and high blood pressure as much
as if they had large fat cells, Peter Arner, a professor in the Department of Medicine
at the Karolinska Institutet, via 'Newsweek'.
'Newsweek' reports that the team hope their
findings will help develop more personalized weight
management strategies for people in the future.
It could be of great clinical
value to have information
about fat cell size before starting
a weight-management program, Peter Arner, a professor in the Department of Medicine
at the Karolinska Institutet, via 'Newsweek'.
If it is the case that those with
large fat cells find it easier to
lose weight, those with smaller
cells could be given extra support, Peter Arner, a professor in the Department of Medicine
at the Karolinska Institutet, via 'Newsweek'
