Israeli Nuclear Weapons Programme : The Secret Middle-Eastern Superpower

Agamapar ChadhaAugust 13, 20220

Israel's prime minister Yar Lapid made a rare reference recently to the country's widely suspected nuclear arsenal. He said this during a speech last week; Israeli prime ministers are typically cautious about what they say about the n-word. Speaking at an event to mark a change of leadership in the country's atomic energy commission, Lapid referred to Israel's defensive and offensive capabilities. But he didn't stop there. He went on to call something called other capabilities. This use of the phrase other capabilities was understood to be a reference to Israel's nuclear weapons. In the speech, the prime minister said, "The operational arena in the invisible dome above us is built on defensive and offensive capabilities. With what the foreign media tends to call other capabilities th...

Agamapar ChadhaAugust 13, 20220

US president Joe Biden was in Saudi Arabia recently. His prime objective was to get Saudi Arabia to increase its oil output so global crude prices could be lowered. Saudi Arabia responded by telling Biden Arabia to respond. Saudi Arabia told joe Biden that any decision to raise oil output would be taken by OPEC+ a Russian oil company. With such a diplomatic shift towards Russia and China, Saudi Arabia slowly inclines toward the anti-American side of world power for profiteering. Saudi Arabia has doubled its oil imports from Russia since the war in Ukraine began. Saudi Arabia imported 647 000 tons of Russian oil in the second quarter, from April to June. During the same period last year, the gulf kingdom imported 320 000 tons of oil from Russia  Russian oil, which used to go into ...

Agamapar ChadhaAugust 9, 20220

War continuously mongers around the world with another rift between Israel and Palestine as the two nations, after four conflicts have a brief schism as Israel launched missiles in the Gaza Strip to kill a Palestinian Jihadist official who has led to the causalities of civilians, damage to property and injuries.

Biden’s Awkward Visit To Middle East: World Witnesses US’s ‘Self-Interest First’ Policy

Vikas DeshwalJuly 18, 20220

US President Joe Biden finished his four-day visit to the Middle East demanding to explain the US impact in the area, but Joe Biden came back home empty-handed. Analysts said that making a U-turn to shine up to Middle East countries when Washington is in an oil crisis has again uncovered the US' selfishness and hypocrisy toward those regional countries. Biden's first Middle East trip was an awkward diplomatic blunder. In a speech during a conference with six Gulf nations, Egypt, Jordan and Iraq, in Jeddah, President Biden said that the US would remain an energetic and essential partner in the Middle East, "The US is invested in building a positive future for the middle east, in strategic partnership with all six gulf nation. Israel was the first country on his four-day visit, followed

Further, it is perceived as the home to terrorism mixed with Islamist and conservation fervour, which usually end nation and states failing, governments falling and displaced citizens and refugees that rush to EU/neighbouring nations. Regardless of the thought has some truth, the twenty-two Arab nations, 400 million strong, follow the same religion, albeit with different sects and beliefs. Though many of them are pitted against each other, now it's always wasn't the case. A movement of united Arabs called Pan-Arabism in the 1960s focused on integrating the Arab nation politically...
