Starmer Blames Trump & Putin For Energy Chaos, Warns Fragile Ceasefire Risks Escalation

Amid escalating violence in Lebanon, India has issued a rare and carefully worded expression of concern over civilian casualties, notably without naming Israel. The message, delivered by Randhir Jaiswal, emphasises the need to protect civilians and uphold international law. The conflict has intensified after rocket attacks by Hezbollah, followed by large-scale Israeli strikes that have caused significant loss of life and displacement. India, while maintaining its strategic relationships in the region, is closely monitoring developments and ensuring the safety of its citizens. Diplomatic outreach to countries like Qatar and the United Arab Emirates reflects concerns over energy security and regional stability. This response highlights India’s balancing act—avoiding direct confrontation while signalling concern over humanitarian fallout in a rapidly escalating crisis.
