She was only a little girl. What are Modi's Bhakat trying to prove by intimidating and frightening a child?
The BJP seeks to keep people fearful and submissive at home, while abroad it appears willing to go to any lengths,even dancing to the tune of Netanyahu to advance its political interests.

🚨🇺🇸 USA ALERTS ISRAEL AFTER CEASEFIRE BREAk
JD Vance warns Netanyahu:
“Don’t play games with us — you risk losing everything. Trump is your last ally, the whole world already hates you.” 🇮🇱
إنه لأمر يدعو للاستغراب أن تسارع إيران للرد تكرارا على أي استهداف تتعرض له، أو يتعرض له حلفاؤها في لبنان بقصف دول مجلس التعاون أو بعضها، كما حدث اليوم عندما قصفت الكويت والبحرين. ولا يسع المرء هنا إلا أن يتساءل عما إذا كانت هذه الأعمال ضد دولنا تتم بنية مبيتة أساسا، إذ لا يوجد غير ذلك مبرر لها. فإيران تعرف من يقصفونها ويقصفون حلفاءها في المنطقة وتعرف عناوينهم كما هو الحال منذ أن اندلعت هذه الحرب. ومع أني لا أدعو لقصف أي جهة فإن من الواضح أن إيران تريد بهذا القصف لدولنا الضغط على من تعتقد أنه الطرف الأضعف في النزاع المحتدم حاليا.
وهذا وضع يحتاج إلى موقف خليجي جماعي كي تعلم إيران أن الأعمال غير المبررة التي تقوم بها لن تضعفنا، ولن تجعلنا نتنازل عن حقوقنا. فبعض دول الخليج وبالأخص بلادي كنا وما زلنا مع إقامة علاقات إيجابية مع إيران، الجار الأقرب لنا، ولكن عليها أن تعلم دائما أن تلك العلاقات لن تقام بالابتزاز، ولا على حساب سيادتنا. كما أن على إيران أن تعلم أنه ليس من السهل الاستمرار في الانتقام من دولنا أو من بعضها ردا على استهدافها، أو استهداف حلفائها.
أما إغلاق مضيق هرمز المستمر إلى الآن، فينبغي ألا يكون هناك أي تهاون أو ضعف في المواقف حياله حتى يظل المضيق ممرا دوليا كما هو منذ البداية.
في ضوء هذا كله، يجب على دول مجلس التعاون أن تعي كل التداعيات الممكنة لأي تهاون وتخل عن المصالح، فلا تقدم أي تنازل عن حقوقها الثابتة وعن سيادتها.
In intensive talks at highest level in 47 years, Iran engaged with U.S in good faith to end war.
But when just inches away from "Islamabad MoU", we encountered maximalism, shifting goalposts, and blockade.
Zero lessons earned
Good will begets good will.
Enmity begets enmity.
Neither the US-Israeli side nor the Iranian side deserve any good will whatsoever.
But the innocent people on the ground do not deserve to be held hostage by the whims of warmongers.
Even though Pakistan was targeted by Iran with missiles in 2024, Qatar in 2025 and 2026 and Saudi Arabia in 2026;
all three of these countries, in step with Egypt and Turkey, have put everything aside to prevent human suffering.
Qatar in particular has long punched above its weight to consistently value putting an end to human suffering above all other political considerations.
This is still a fragile truce, and it is too early to celebrate specially with the attacks on Lebanon intensifying - but we can take a moment to feel glad that among all this chaos and bloodlust we have a peace axis in this region.
Exclusive: Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister @SKhatibzadeh tells me for @itvnews the Strait of Hormuz is open to all civilian shipping and reports it is closed are wrong. However, due to mines as a consequence of the war, all vessels need to liaise with Iran to be guided along safe routes.
“Anybody who communicates with the Iranian authority has got permission to pass.”
As we proceed to *Islamabad Talks*, I wish to extend our deepest and sincere gratitude to our brotherly countries People’s Republic of China, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Republic of Türkiye, Arab Republic of Egypt and State of Qatar for extending invaluable and all out support towards reaching the ceasefire and giving peaceful diplomatic efforts a chance to seek a comprehensive and conclusive end to the conflict.
I would also like to deeply appreciate and thank our brotherly countries of Gulf Cooperation Council, whose consistent support and commitment to peace and stability in the region remains quintessential for our efforts.
The leadership of all our brotherly countries and United States of America demonstrated exceptional strategic foresight, sagacity and patience in giving peace a chance.
I also thank all our partners and friends across the globe who have reached out and acknowledged Pakistan’s sincere efforts for the global peace.
Let us all work together to forge a lasting peace in the region and beyond!
Qatar Condemns Israeli Airstrikes on Wide Areas in Lebanon
Doha | April 08 2026
The State of Qatar condemns the series of heinous Israeli airstrikes that targeted wide areas in Lebanon and resulted in hundreds of deaths and injuries.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs deems the strikes a serious escalation and a blatant violation of the sovereignty of the sisterly Republic of Lebanon, international humanitarian law, and United Nations Security Council Resolution 1701.
The Ministry calls on the international community to assume its responsibilities by compelling the Israeli occupation authorities to halt their brutal massacres and repeated attacks on Lebanon, and to ensure their compliance with international laws and charters.
It also expresses the State of Qatar's full solidarity with the Republic of Lebanon in the measures it takes to preserve its security and stability, while reaffirming Qatar's firm position on Lebanon's unity, sovereignty, and territorial integrity.

Lebanon has declared a day of national mourning.
Thousands of people's lives have been upended after Israeli air strikes, which came without warning, tore through neighbourhoods across the capital and cities across the country.
Al Jazeera’s @heidipett reports from Beirut.
The Iran–U.S. Ceasefire terms are clear and explicit: the U.S. must choose—ceasefire or continued war via Israel. It cannot have both.
The world sees the massacres in Lebanon. The ball is in the U.S. court, and the world is watching whether it will act on its commitments.
