Union Minister Piyush Goyal’s speech in Tel Aviv turned into a striking moment of emotional diplomacy as he drew parallels between Israel’s recent hardships and the terror attacks shaking India. He spoke of the Pahalgam killings, where terrorists identified victims by religion, and the blast in New Delhi, describing them as grim reminders that India and Israel share the same wounds. Goyal praised Israel’s courage and said that despite physical distance, the two nations are “emotionally very close.” He urged stronger collaboration to dismantle global terror networks and reaffirmed India’s commitment to standing by Israel. The address, delivered at a moment of heightened geopolitical tensions, underscored how terrorism binds nations not just strategically but humanly - through grief, resilience, and shared resolve.

U.S. Troops Seek Ways to Avoid Iran War As Veterans Compare IRAN situation To IRAQ WAR | Watch

Anti-war activist Mike Prysner says growing numbers of U.S. troops and their families are contacting his organization for help to avoid fighting in the U.S.–Israeli war against Iran. He claims some soldiers were told they were going for training but later informed of a combat deployment. The remarks come as protests erupt across major U.S. cities opposing the war. A University of Maryland poll shows only 21 percent support military action against Iran. Critics also cite Donald Trump’s “No New War” campaign pledge. Lawmakers and veterans are divided, while reports of civilian casualties and rising tensions continue fueling debate across the United States.

Nishant Kumar Will Make Political Debut On March 8, To Formally Join JD(U) After Nitish's RS Move

Nishant Kumar, son of Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, is set to begin active political work in the Janata Dal (United) from March 8, 2026, according to party leaders. The move comes as Nitish Kumar prepares to transition to the Rajya Sabha, marking a significant moment in the party’s internal roadmap. Political observers view Nishant Kumar’s entry into active party work as part of JD(U)’s broader succession planning strategy. While the Bihar government is expected to continue functioning under Nitish Kumar’s guidance, the development signals a gradual generational shift within the party. Leaders say Nishant’s involvement will focus on strengthening the organisation and connecting with workers at the grassroots level ahead of future political challenges.
