Holding a major protest against Israel, Yemenis held a massive rally against Israel’s aggression in Sanaa on November 29. Protesters wielded weapons in their hands as they raised slogan against Israel. Protesters refuse to “retreat until the aggression against Gaza, Lebanon and Syria stops”. Yemenis held rally after claims of Israel violating ceasefire on November 28 in southern Lebanon. Angered by the violation from Israeli side, Gaza and Hezbollah supporters demonstrated their protest. Ceasefire between the two parties was mediated by the US and France on November 27. Fragility of the agreement is evident since then, as both parties accused each other of the violation. Notably, Israel’s ambassador to the UN, Danny Danon, said Israel would maintain an ability to strike southern Lebanon under any agreement. “Will respond forcefully to any violations”, Israeli PM Netanyahu reiterated the same.
30 November,2024 05:46 PM ISTFrom the last few months, mass scale violence and unrest has rocked the nation of Bangladesh. Taking a jibe at the Biden government in the United States, Former Spiritual Advisor to Donald Trump expressed dismay over the approach to deal with the Bangladesh crisis. In an exclusive interview with ANI, he exuded confidence in Donald Trump’s regime, and asserted that his government will shape a brighter future for the whole world. "I am astonished that the current administration hasn't been paying more attention to Bangladesh. But the fact of the matter is, that one of the reasons why there's going to be a change of administration in the United States in just a few weeks is because the foreign policy of this administration has not paid attention to a lot of issues. That's why there are more than 50 conflicts all around the world, more since World War II. But I can also tell you this, Donald Trump is coming to town in Washington DC and he's coming to town with an incredible team of advocates for American values, that view countries like India as indispensable allies in shaping the future of the world..." says Johnnie Moore, former US Commissioner on International Religious Freedom (Trump & Biden Admins) on being asked about the US's stance amid ongoing violence against minorities in Bangladesh.

29 November,2024 11:37 AM ISTAfter an year of Israel-Hezbollah war, a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah will take effect at 4 a.m. local time (0200 GMT) on Wednesday (November 27). Both sides accepted an agreement brokered by the United States and France, U.S. President Joe Biden said on Tuesday (November 26). The accord, clearing the way for an end to a conflict that has killed thousands of people since it was ignited by the Gaza war last year, was designed to be a permanent cessation of hostilities, Biden said in remarks at the White House. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu earlier said he was ready to implement a ceasefire deal and would respond forcefully to any violation by Hezbollah, declaring Israel would retain "complete military freedom of action." The Lebanon ceasefire agreement requires Israeli troops to withdraw from south Lebanon and Lebanon's army to deploy in the region, officials say. Hezbollah would end its armed presence along the border south of the Litani River. Lebanese Foreign Minister Abdallah Bou Habib said the Lebanese army would be ready to have at least 5,000 troops deployed in southern Lebanon as Israeli troops withdraw, and that the United States could play a role in rebuilding infrastructure destroyed by Israeli strikes.

The EU's foreign policy chief, Josep Borrell, said the decision was not a political one but made by a court and thus should be respected and implemented.
