India backs early Gaza truce: EAM Jaishankar to Saudi counterpart
Wednesday, 13 November 2024 During a meeting with Saudi Arabian counterpart Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud, Indian External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar expressed support for a swift ceasefire in Gaza.

Amid intensifying trade tensions with the U.S., China has cut its crude oil imports from Washington by 90%, turning instead to Canada as a key supplier. Bloomberg reports record shipments from Canada's Pacific coast, powered by the Trans Mountain Expansion pipeline. China’s strategic shift aims to diversify energy sources away from American, Russian, and Middle Eastern dependence. This marks a major realignment in global oil trade, with implications for U.S. exports and geopolitical leverage. Meanwhile, Russia and Saudi Arabia remain China's top oil partners, but Canada's role is growing fast.

Acting South Korean President Han Duck-soo confirmed the directive following a direct call with Trump. With U.S. tariffs paused and strategic talks kicking off, the Indo-Pacific economic balance is on edge. Will this be the start of a new trade war or the formation of a stronger alliance against China’s growing influence?

As global stock markets reel from a historic downturn—fueled by U.S. tariffs and heightened recession fears—Saudi Arabia stands out as an unexpected outlier. On Monday, the Tadawul All Share Index (TASI) climbed 0.67%, closing at 11,191.20, up from 11,077.19 a day earlier. The gain comes despite a worldwide stock sell-off triggered by economic uncertainty. The positive momentum in Saudi markets is being linked to Saudi Aramco’s strategic decision to slash oil prices by $2.30 per barrel, boosting investor confidence and projecting increased global demand for Saudi crude.

At least 58 people are dead and more than 120 injured after a U.S. airstrike hit Yemen’s Ras Isa oil terminal. A second strike killed first responders attempting to rescue survivors, prompting Yemen to call the attack a war crime. Civilian infrastructure, including oil facilities and aid workers, were targeted. While Washington claims the site was used by Houthi forces, Yemen strongly denies this and accuses the U.S. of supporting Israel’s war in Gaza. As President Trump escalates strikes across Yemen, the region edges closer to all-out war.

Hamas has declared it is ready to release all hostages—but only under a full ceasefire and Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, rejecting any partial or temporary truce. The group blasted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s proposed phased plan as a “deceptive war tactic” aimed at prolonging the conflict. As diplomatic channels scramble, the statement raises tensions and casts uncertainty over hopes for a breakthrough in negotiations.

Houthi leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi issued a fiery warning, urging all Arab nations to arm every Palestinian in defense against what he calls the U.S.-enabled “genocidal war” on Gaza. He claims Washington is supplying Israel with weapons while turning a blind eye to mass civilian deaths, medical facility destruction, and Gaza's forced displacement. As Rafah faces encirclement, al-Houthi warns Egypt’s national security is at risk. The Houthis blame Arab regimes for past disarmament and call for immediate military support to Palestinian resistance groups. Israel, backed by the U.S., continues strikes across Gaza and Lebanon.

Israel launched airstrikes on the southern Gaza tent city of Mawasi—an area it previously labeled a “humanitarian safe zone”—killing over 20 people. Footage shows rescue crews battling fires as tents filled with displaced Palestinians went up in flames. Mawasi, once a refuge for tens of thousands fleeing the war, has now become a symbol of devastation. The Israeli military has not commented on the strike. Officials warn that repeated attacks on civilian shelters are turning Gaza’s safe zones into graveyards.

Putin publicly praised Hamas for what he called a “humanitarian act” after the release of Israeli-Russian captives. Speaking directly to freed hostages at the Kremlin, Putin thanked Hamas’ political wing, crediting long-standing Russian-Palestinian ties for the release. The remarks have sparked global outrage and are expected to anger Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Trump, both of whom have taken hardline stances against Hamas. The development comes amid growing international scrutiny of the Gaza war and Israel’s military actions.
