UAE calls for unified and secure Syria
The UAE has reiterated its commitment to the unity and integrity of the Syrian state as it monitored the ongoing developments in the country.
It comes just days after UN Special Envoy for Syria Geir Pedersen briefed the Security Council following Israeli attacks in southern Syria that left four people dead.
During discussions with Pedersen, UAE Permanent Representative to the UN, Ambassador Mohamed Abushahab, stressed the need to ensure "Syria is free from extremism, violence and discrimination".
The two sides also looked into the imperative of a peaceful, inclusive, Syrian-led and Syrian-owned political transition, and the UN's vital role in supporting stability and development in the country.
The violence along the border area marks increased friction between Israel and Syria, where a new leadership has been installed after rebels ousted former leader Bashar al-Assad from power in December

Ex-Israeli PM:Trump must tell Netanyahu 'enough is enough'
US President Donald Trump should tell Israel's leader Benjamin Netanyahu "enough is enough", a former Israeli prime minister told AFP, denouncing the continuation of the war on Gaza as a "crime" and insisting a two-state solution is the only way to end the conflict. Ehud Olmert, prime minister between 2006-2009, said in an interview in Paris that the United States has more influence on the Israeli government "than all the other powers put together" and that Trump can "make a difference". He said while the international community accepted Israel's right to self-defence after 7 October, this changed when Netanyahu spurned chances to end the war in March and instead ramped up operations. "If there is a war which is not going to save hostages, which cannot really eradicate more of what they did already against Hamas and if, as a result of this, soldiers are getting killed, hostages maybe get killed and innocent Palestinians are killed, then to my mind this is a crime," said Olmert. "And this is something that should be condemned and not accepted," he said.

India's Industrial Output Sinks Even As GDP Grows
By Nantoo Banerjee India's economic growth figures seem to be getting increasingly delinked with domestic manufacturing, industrial output, and job generation. The manufacturing sector had a very little contribution to the country's 6.5 percent GDP growth during the last financial year, the slowest in four years. Despite a good monsoon last year, the country's agriculture sector growth rate in the second quarter (October-March) was 3.5 percent. The industrial growth rate for 2024-25 is estimated to be only four percent, also marking the lowest in the last four years. In April, the country's industrial output slowed to an eight-month low at 2.7 percent as per the data released by the National Statistical Office (NSO). What is pushing the country's GDP growth? Obviously, the less reliable estimates of the country's vast services sector backed substantially by imports. Ironically, India's total imports in the last fiscal had grown by 6.85 percent, a little above the country's GDP growth rate. This may give a somewhat wrong impression that the GDP growth is linked with the import growth. Uncontrolled imports, mainly from China, are dampening India's domestic production initiative and new job generation agenda. China's imports from India are rapidly shrinking. In the last fiscal, India's imports from China grossed over $113 billion, a $11.5 percent rise over the previous fiscal. The top imported products from China included electrical and electronic equipment, machinery, organic chemicals, and plastics, most of which should have been manufactured in India. This increase contributed to a widening trade deficit for India. In contrast, India's merchandise exports to China collapsed to only $14.25 billion from $16.66 billion, last year. Export-led China does not seem to like to import anything from India. No one in the government appears to be concerned about the country's massive import growth year after year, especially from China. Imports are mostly at the cost of domestic production and local jobs. A country does not import merchandise alone. It also imports labour that goes into the manufacturing of imported products. China continued to be India's top import source, by far the biggest from any single country. In the last fiscal, India's total imports are estimated to have grown to US$ 915.19 billion. This growth was driven by higher merchandise imports, which reached US$ 720.24 billion, a significant increase compared to the US$ 678.21 billion in the previous fiscal. No department in the government is willing to take the responsibility of the low and slow domestic industrial production and sinking job growth rates since the present BJP-led national government has been in operation. The government has been acting more like a dream merchant often seen busy in forecasting and focussing on India's long-term economic prospects. The so-called 'Make-in-India' initiative made little success in the absence of the import-happy government's liberal investment policy, especially in manufacturing, that could strongly induce foreign industrial investors rush to India as they did in Communist China for several years. Foreign investors are not interested in the political colour of a government. In the first three months of 2025, the foreign direct investment (FDI) in China was as much as US$36.9 billion. Consider this against the FDI inflow of a mere $0.4 billion into India during the whole of 2024-25. It was $10.1 billion, a year ago. This is probably the worst performance in the country's annual FDI inflow records while the government keeps talking about India emerging as a global manufacturing hub. India's own industrial entrepreneurs are investing little in the country. Instead, they are indulging in investing abroad. During the last financial year, India's net outward FDI (OFDI) grew 75 percent year on year to $29.2 billion. Singapore, the US, UAE, Mauritius and the Netherlands together accounted for more than half of the rise in OFDI. The country's Index of Industrial Production (IIP) expanded by only four percent for the 2024-25 fiscal. This growth is lower than the 5.5 percent recorded in March 2024. The manufacturing sector experienced a further slowdown, with growth at 4.5 percent for the year, down from 12.3 percent in 2023-24. The IIP grew by only three percent in March 2025. The industrial output grew by four percent during the April-October period of the last financial year. The share of manufacturing in India's GDP continues to be as low as 12 percent. According to Visual Capitalist, the share of manufacturing in China's GDP is projected to be around 29 percent of global manufacturing output in 2025. This amplifies the significant dominance of China in global manufacturing, potentially matching or exceeding the combined share of the US and its allies. Specifically, China is projected to have a manufacturing output of $4.8 trillion, accounting for 29 percent of the global value. Less than two months ago, India's Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said the country plans to raise the share of its manufacturing sector from 12 percent to 23 percent over the next two decades, aiming to create jobs and drive economic growth. While speaking at the Hoover Institution at California's Stanford University, the finance minister said India is focussing on 14 identified sunrise sectors like semiconductors, renewable energy components, medical devices, batteries and labour-intensive industries, including leather and textile, to enhance the share of manufacturing in GDP. However, of these industries, semiconductors may only appear to be a sunrise industry in India. Incidentally, the present form of the global semiconductor industry is almost 70-year-old. The first commercially available microprocessor, Intel 4004, was released in 1971. India is expected to launch its first locally produced semiconductor chip, under foreign equity and technical control, by the end of the current year. India is a major importer of semiconductors. Its local end-use market is projected to double from $54 billion in 2025 to $108 billion by 2030. Lately, the government's highly liberal investment incentives are expected to bring foreign companies to help push up domestic semiconductors production. Until recently, the government appeared to be rather casual about strengthening the country's industrial and manufacturing bases. Even in 2014-15, when the Narendra Modi-led government came to power at the centre (May 26, 2014), India's manufacturing sector contributed 16.3 percent to the country's GDP. While the government's much-touted 'Make-in-India' policy was launched in September 2014, hoping to fast-forward its share, the manufacturing sector's contribution to GDP has subsequently declined mainly due to the lack of a strong commitment to the programme and uncontrolled import growth over the years. That may explain why the country's annual GDP growth rate has generally failed to reflect on its growth of the manufacturing sector and employment. (IPA Service)

Trump says Iran's proposal 'unacceptable' as Tehran touts intel on Israeli nukes
Iran's response to a US nuclear deal proposal is 'unacceptable', President Donald Trump said on Monday, adding that Iran was 'asking for things you can't do'. 'They don't want to have to give up what they have to give up. They seek enrichment. We want just the opposite,' Trump said during a business round table. Earlier in the day, he spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Trump said the two leaders' conversation was mainly about Iran. 'So far, they (Iran) aren't there. I hate to say that…They have given us their thoughts on the deal, and I said, 'it's just not acceptable.'' Trump's pessimistic tone is in stark contrast to his assessment of the nuclear talks in May. He previously said he asked Netanyahu not to launch preemptive strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities because he believed the US was close to a 'solution'. New MEE newsletter: Jerusalem Dispatch Sign up to get the latest insights and analysis on Israel-Palestine, alongside Turkey Unpacked and other MEE newsletters The US and Iran have held five rounds of talks since April to thrash out a new nuclear accord to replace the 2015 deal called the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, which Trump unilaterally withdrew from during his first term in 2018. Trump, who prides himself on being a 'dealmaker', laughed about going toe-to-toe with the Iranians. His envoy, Steve Witkoff, met directly with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi during the talks, although the discussions were mediated by Oman. 'They (Iranians) are good negotiators, but they are tough. Sometimes they can be too tough. That's the problem,' Trump said. Trump said the next round of talks will take place on Thursday. Trump's comments come as all sides, the US, Iran and Israel, appear to be positioning themselves for different scenarios depending on how the talks progress. Iran touts Israel nuclear intelligence leak On Saturday, Iranian state media reported that Tehran had obtained a trove of "strategic and sensitive" Israeli intelligence in a covert operation, including files related to Israel's undeclared nuclear programme and defence plans. Israel is widely understood to have nuclear weapons, although it doesn't admit it. Iran's top security body said on Monday that, using intelligence it had obtained about Israeli nuclear facilities, Iranian forces could launch counterattacks - should Israel strike the Islamic Republic. Saudi Arabian and Omani officials propose nuclear facilities for Iran on Gulf island: Report Read More » Iran insists its nuclear programme is for civilian purposes. After Trump withdrew from the 2015 nuclear deal, Iran ramped up uranium enrichment to 60 percent. US officials have said that Iran is weeks away from enriching uranium to the 90 percent level that would be needed for weaponisation. Iran would then have to construct a nuclear weapon, which could take months. Trump's comments on Monday suggest that he is pursuing a deal that would stop all Iranian enrichment - a red line for the Islamic Republic. Reports in Axios and The New York Times earlier this month said the White House may concede to a low level of enrichment by Iran, perhaps temporarily. The US provided Iran with a proposal for a nuclear deal on 31 May. On Monday, Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei criticised the US proposal as "lacking elements" reflective of the previous rounds of negotiations. "We will soon submit our own proposed plan to the other side through (mediator) Oman once it is finalised," Baqaei told a weekly press briefing. "It is a proposal that is reasonable, logical and balanced, and we strongly recommend that the American side value this opportunity.' Iran's parliament speaker has said the US proposal failed to include the lifting of sanctions, a key demand for Tehran, which has been reeling under their weight for years. Trump imposed debilitating sanctions on Iran in 2018. Is Trump holding back Israel from attacking? A steady stream of media leaks suggests that Israel is prepared to unilaterally bomb Iran's nuclear facilities, potentially alone. What is stopping Israel from bombing Iran's nuclear sites? Read More » One senior US official previously told Middle East Eye on the condition of anonymity that the Trump administration has been impressed by plans Israel shared with it that lay out unilateral strikes against Iran's nuclear programme without direct American involvement. The plans were discussed in April and May with CIA director John Ratcliffe. But analysts and former US and Israeli officials say Israel is unlikely to defy Trump's request to stand down. They say Netanyahu would like to share political responsibility with the US for attacking Iran if something goes wrong. He is also afraid Trump may not provide an American military backstop, given his recent ceasefire with the Houthis in Yemen that excluded Israel. In 2024, the US intervened directly to shoot down Iranian missiles and drones fired at Israel during two unprecedented direct exchanges of fire between the Middle East foes. Trump himself is under conflicting pressures. He has purged his administration of pro-Israel hawks like former national security advisor Mike Waltz and, more recently, lower-level officials like Merav Ceren, the National Security Council director for Israel and Iran. Ceren came in the crosshairs of pro-Trump "America First" commentators, but analysts say officials like her likely have little influence in a White House where Trump has consolidated decision-making down to all but his closest advisors. Iran has been the most active in positioning itself for the next round of talks.
