Fears surrounding artificial intelligence and its potential to spiral out of control are largely overstated. While AI has extraordinary learning capabilities, AGI remains a distant scientific ambition, and real-world businesses are more likely to demand specialized, sovereign AI systems tailored to specific industries and tasks: Dr. Yasar Ayaz, Chairman, NCAI

The Houthis control Sana’a and have continued advancing across strategic areas of Yemen. With key locations around Bab el-Mandeb, Marib and Taiz at stake, further Houthi gains could strengthen their control over vital routes and energy resources: Dr. Nihat Celik, Istanbul-based International Relations expert

Saudi Arabia is weighing its options carefully. Riyadh does not want to be drawn into a war waged by Washington, but retaliating militarily against the Houthis could escalate the US-Iran conflict into a wider regional war���something Gulf capitals want to avoid: Dr. Fadi Hilani,
Senior Fellow, National Council on US-Arab Relations

Pakistan has strongly condemned attacks on Abha, Khamis Mushait, Jazan and Najran that Saudi authorities say wounded at least 73 people, including women and children. Pakistan’s Foreign Office called the strikes a flagrant violation of Saudi Arabia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity and backed Riyadh’s right under international law to defend its territory, population and national assets. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has separately condemned what he described as a cowardly attack targeting civilian and energy facilities, reaffirming Pakistan’s unwavering solidarity with Saudi Arabia and its leadership.

Simultaneous disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz and Bab el-Mandeb are creating a major crisis for global shipping. The US-Iran war and renewed Houthi attacks have disrupted oil flows, tightened supplies and increased shipping costs, pushing Brent crude above $108 a barrel.

Israeli policy has been clear since 1948, with Palestinians facing the demolition of villages, displacement and massacres, while the majority of Western countries have largely turned a blind eye. Greater attention to what is happening on the ground today is positive, but small steps are not enough: Dr. Zuhair Mohammad, Palestinian Ambassador to Pakistan

More than 73,600 Palestinians have been killed by Israel in Gaza, including over 21,600 children and 12,400 women. Nearly 90% of Gaza’s population has been forcibly displaced, while 90% faces acute food insecurity. Israel continues to discuss the forced removal of Gaza’s population, while settlement expansion and settler violence tighten its grip on the occupied West Bank.

There is a bit of an exaggeration, but it is a delicate balance. Algorithms do push back when it comes to news, with journalistic content often getting limited reach compared with personal pictures and other content: Asad Baig, Founder and Executive Director, MMfD

Investigative Journalist Habib Battah, speaking from New York, condemns Israel’s military actions in Gaza, the West Bank and Lebanon, saying there have been deliberate attacks on civilians, journalists and medics.

Senior Economist Dr. Nisar Iqbal says rising oil prices could increase Pakistan’s inflation, growth and current-account pressures. He calls for targeted assistance to poorer households, prudent fuel-price adjustments, conservation and protection of foreign-exchange buffers to prevent the oil shock from escalating into a wider fiscal crisis.
