Gaza in Flames: The Ceasefire Shatters Amid Renewed Violence

The sky over Gaza turned red once again. On Tuesday, Israeli forces launched an intense wave of airstrikes, killing at least 413 people, marking the deadliest day in the region since the ceasefire took effect on January 19. The fragile truce, already on shaky ground, collapsed as negotiations to extend it hit a deadlock.

The Strikes That Changed Everything

Israel’s latest assault followed Hamas’ refusal to modify ceasefire terms, prompting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to authorize what officials call an “open-ended” military campaign. The Israeli military has since ordered thousands of civilians in eastern Gaza, including those in Beit Hanoun, to evacuate—hinting at a possible return to ground operations.

"Israel will, from now on, act against Hamas with increasing military strength," declared Netanyahu’s office.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) echoed this on social media, stating they were carrying out “extensive strikes on terror targets belonging to the Hamas terrorist organization in the Gaza Strip.”

The Global Chessboard Reacts

Before launching the strikes, Israel consulted with the White House, which later confirmed its support for the operation. Meanwhile, tensions in the broader region are also escalating. The U.S. recently launched attacks on Iran-backed rebels in Yemen, while Israel has ramped up strikes against Hezbollah militants in Lebanon and Syria.

With Ramadan underway, the timing of the assault has raised concerns about further destabilization. Additionally, about two dozen Israeli hostages are believed to be in Hamas’ custody, adding another layer of complexity to an already volatile situation.

What Comes Next?

With Netanyahu’s government vowing to intensify its military campaign, the world watches anxiously. Will this lead to yet another prolonged conflict, or will diplomatic efforts revive hopes of a truce? One thing is certain—Gaza, once again, is burning.

Shashi Tharoor Admits Misjudgment on India’s Neutral Stance in Russia-Ukraine War

Congress leader and Member of Parliament Shashi Tharoor has publicly acknowledged that he was mistaken in opposing India’s neutral stance on the Russia-Ukraine war when it first erupted in 2022. Speaking at the Raisina Dialogue in New Delhi on Tuesday during a session titled ‘Waging Peace: Looking Back to Look Ahead’ , Tharoor candidly admitted that India’s diplomatic approach has, in hindsight, positioned the country as a potential peacemaker on the global stage. "An Egg on My Face" – Tharoor’s Honest Reflection "I am still wiping the egg off my face because I am one person in the parliamentary debate who actually criticized the Indian position at the time back in February 2022," Tharoor confessed. At the time, he had strongly condemned Russia’s military actions, advocating that India should denounce the aggression based on principles of the UN Charter, the sovereignty of Ukraine, and the inviolability of international borders . However, with three years of g...

Delhi High Court Denies Maintenance to Educated Wife: A Landmark Ruling

  In a recent judgment, the Delhi High Court held that a well-educated woman, capable of earning a living, should not remain unemployed just to claim maintenance from her husband. The ruling came in response to a revision petition filed by a woman challenging a family court’s 2022 decision that denied her interim maintenance. The Court’s Stand on Maintenance Justice Chandra Dhari Singh stated that Section 125 of the CrPC aims to protect dependent spouses, children, and parents but does not encourage idleness. He asserted that women with professional qualifications and work experience should make efforts to become financially independent rather than relying on alimony. The court upheld the family court’s decision, noting that the petitioner had a Master’s degree in International Business from the University of Wollongong, Australia , which demonstrated her capability to earn. Furthermore, she had previously worked in Dubai as an Audit Associate at KPMG and later as an HR Manage...
