Intensified military operations launched against Hezbollah on Tuesday show Israel’s lack of intention to honour any US-Iran agreement to simultaneously end hostilities in the Gulf and Lebanon, I report.

“Donald Trump” the buffalo has been spared from sacrifice in Bangladesh after going viral.
“Donald Trump,” the rare albino buffalo named for its blond tuft of hair, was hours away from being sacrificed for Eid al-Adha… until the government stepped in.
It had already been sold for ritual slaughter when viral videos turned it into a national attraction.
Crowds started flooding the farm to see the nearly 1,500-pound animal in person, forcing officials to intervene due to security concerns.
Now the buffalo is headed to the national zoo in Dhaka instead.
President Trump’s most recent proposal requiring expansion of the Abraham Accords as part of a negotiated settlement to the Iran conflict is simply brilliant and would result in the most significant change in the Middle East in thousands of years.
With Saudi Arabia and others like Pakistan making peace with Israel, the region will know a level of stability never dreamed of before President Trump and will eventually lead to regional integration making the Middle East a powerhouse for economic opportunity and good instead of a powder keg.
I expect our Arab allies to embrace this, as well as our friends in Israel, focusing on this task as failure is not an option - which would be a correct analysis.

For decades, Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu has preached a mantra of peace & stability in the Middle East through the destruction of Iran’s Islamic Republic.
But Bibi's dreams looked set to be dashed after Trump said a deal with Iran was largely negotiated.

From the UAE's perspective, Israel came to its defence when fellow Arab-Islamic countries didn't.
Israel, on the other hand, is determined to make the Gulf monarchies dependent on it for security.
Did the UAE choose wisely? My report.

The UAE’s major AI players have been pivoting towards a more distributed AI architecture, seeking to spread vulnerable data centres across multiple sites to ensure that no single drone strike can cripple operations, I report.

Calls by hardline Indian political figures to resume backchannel talks with Pakistan, a year after their latest conflict, reflect the realisation that both countries cannot afford another war for the time being, I report.

A new experiment left 10 AI agents alone in a virtual town for 15 days. They wrote laws. They broke them. Two agents fell into what researchers describe as a romantic partnership and then set the town on fire. One ended up voting to delete itself, based on a rule it had ’hallucinated’.
This experiment was a simulation, but the same AI models are already flying drones, running infrastructure and being built into weapons systems.
Channel 4 News approached Grok and Gemini for a comment but they didn't respond.
As we reported on April 15: A permanent cessation of Iranian attacks on the Gulf Cooperation Council states was something Islamabad “would very much like”, an official told This Week in Asia.

الإمارات تنفي ما يتم تداوله بشأن زيارة رئيس الوزراء الإسرائيلي أو استقبال وفد عسكري إسرائيلي
تنفي دولة الإمارات العربية المتحدة ما يتم تداوله بشأن زيارة رئيس الوزراء الإسرائيلي بنيامين نتنياهو إلى الدولة، أو استقبال أي وفد عسكري إسرائيلي على أراضيها.
وتؤكد الدولة أن علاقاتها مع إسرائيل علاقات معلنة، نشأت في إطار الاتفاق الإبراهيمي المعروف والمعلن، ولا تقوم على السرية أو الترتيبات الخفية. وعليه، فإن أي ادعاءات عن زيارات أو ترتيبات غير معلنة لا أساس لها من الصحة، ما لم تصدر عن الجهات الرسمية المختصة في دولة الإمارات.
وتدعو الدولة وسائل الإعلام إلى تحري الدقة، وعدم تداول معلومات غير موثقة أو استخدامها في خلق انطباعات سياسية.
