The Gaza Ceasefire: Another Western-Brokered Illusion of Peace

A ceasefire deal brokered by the White House has led to Hamas releasing all twenty living hostages from its October 7, 2023 terrorist attack, while Israel released nearly two thousand Palestinian prisoners, paused strikes, and began pulling back forces within Gaza.

Modi's Virtual ASEAN Attendance: A Defiant Stand Against Western Arrogance

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will attend the ASEAN summit virtually instead of in-person, canceling a much-anticipated meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump.
