India's global leadership in women-led peacekeeping, fair trade, and development was showcased as a template for the future.

Israel military chief opposes Netanyahu's Gaza takeover plan
Israel's military chief has pushed back against Benjamin Netanyahu's plans to seize areas of Gaza it doesn't already control, three Israeli officials said, as the prime minister faces increasing pressure over the war both at home and abroad. During a tense, three-hour meeting on Tuesday, Eyal Zamir (in pic), the military chief of staff, warned the prime minister that taking the rest of Gaza could trap the military in the territory, which it withdrew from two decades ago, and could lead to harm to the hostages being held there, the sources briefed on the meeting said.

Rahul Gandhi termed it 'economic blackmail' and warned Prime Minister Modi not to let his weakness override India's national interest. Jairam Ramesh criticised Modi's past proximity to Trump, calling the tariff hike a failure of 'huglomacy,' and urged a reset of India's foreign policy. Shashi Tharoor warned that such high tariffs would hurt Indian exports, making them unaffordable in the US market.

India's SHOCK Reply To Trump's 50% Tariffs; Fires ‘Will PROTECT National Interests' Warning
/ Aug 06, 2025, 10:36PM IST In a strongly worded statement, India's Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) sharply rejected the United States' new 25% tariff on Indian imports tied to Russian oil purchases—calling it 'unfair, unjustified, and unreasonable.' The MEA clarified that India's energy imports are driven by market dynamics and national interest, aimed at securing reliable, affordable energy for its 1.4 billion citizens. India noted that many other countries—including China, Turkey, and the EU—are also continuing trade with Russia, yet are not being targeted in the same way.
