In a fiery political escalation, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt took direct aim at Zohran Mamdani — the presumptive Democratic frontrunner in the New York City mayoral race — accusing him of embodying “radical” left-wing ideals. Labeling Democrats as “doubling down on craziness,” Leavitt claimed Mamdani's policies threaten the “very fabric of the country.”
The attack reflects growing Republican unease with Mamdani’s rising influence, particularly after his viral interview clip showed him eating biryani with his hands while championing Third World-inspired politics. With his open support for Palestine, socialism, and progressive reform, Mamdani has drawn praise and vitriol in equal measure. As Trump’s White House attempts to frame the 2025 elections as a choice between order and chaos, Mamdani is emerging as a lightning rod in the cultural and political battlefield. The clash signals a deeper national confrontation brewing around race, identity, and radicalism.

A Texas Republican Congressman, Brandon Gill, sparked outrage after making a racist remark against Indian-origin New York politician Zohran Mamdani for eating biryani with his hands. Gill reshared a video of Mamdani eating during an interview and wrote, “Civilized people in America don’t eat like this. Go back to the Third World.”
The video showed Mamdani discussing taboo topics in U.S. politics while calmly eating. Ironically, Gill is married to Danielle D’Souza, daughter of Indian-American commentator Dinesh D’Souza. Social media erupted, highlighting hypocrisy and sharing photos of Trump eating with his hands. Gill has a history of racist rhetoric, recently posting two contrasting pictures of Los Angeles to argue against immigration. Mamdani, born in Uganda and raised in NYC, was explaining how his worldview on Palestine is shaped by his Third World roots. The comment by Gill has triggered a larger debate on race, culture, and what defines “American values.”

Tensions exploded in Kafr Malik, West Bank, as dozens of Israeli settlers stormed the town, torching property and clashing with locals. Israeli forces responded to the chaos, fatally shooting three Palestinians and wounding seven more. The Israeli army claims Palestinians opened fire, while Palestinian authorities call the killings unjustified. A separate army raid in Al-Yamun killed a young boy. International outrage is mounting, with Palestinian leaders warning of regional escalation and urging urgent intervention to protect civilians from settler violence and Israeli military force.

The Brics summit in Rio is set to address global concerns, with the declaration expected to reflect India's stance on terrorism while urging a stronger position.. IndiaTimes
Hamas has responded "in a positive spirit" to a U.S.-brokered ceasefire deal proposed by President Donald Trump, opening the door for negotiations to end the 21-month-long Gaza war. The proposal includes a 60-day ceasefire, return of hostages, and negotiations on long-term peace. Trump, optimistic about a breakthrough, warned Israeli PM Netanyahu to act swiftly. However, differences remain, including troop withdrawal timelines and humanitarian access. Overnight, Israeli strikes killed at least 138 Palestinians, including children in Khan Younis. Meanwhile, hostages’ families marked U.S. Independence Day in Tel Aviv by calling on Trump to “make the deal.” The situation remains fragile as both sides weigh the terms.

Donald Trump has hinted that a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas could be finalized as early as next week. Following Hamas’ positive response to a U.S.-backed plan mediated by Qatar and Egypt, both sides may enter detailed negotiations soon. Trump’s 60-day truce proposal, aimed at halting violence and ensuring humanitarian access, has already been accepted by Israel. As global outrage over Gaza’s death toll mounts, hopes rise for a breakthrough amid ICC charges and deepening humanitarian crisis.
