Pakistani Defence Minister Khawaja M. Asif openly admitted that Pakistan had long performed “dirty work” on behalf of the #US and Western powers, including the #UK, in response to a foreign journalist’s question about Islamabad’s history of backing militant groups during conflicts such as the Soviet-Afghan war and the post-9/11 period.
▪️Asif said doing it was a 'mistake' and #Pakistan has suffered the consequences.
▪️The Pakistani minister’s remarks came shortly after the attack in #Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, on April 22, which killed at least 26 people, mostly #Hindu tourists, making it one of the deadliest incidents in the region since Article 370 was revoked in 2019.
▪️Following the Pahalgam attack in Indian-administered #Kashmir, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi vowed to pursue the perpetrators to the "ends of the earth." Indian authorities have accused Pakistan of orchestrating the attack, citing alleged cross-border links to the assailants.

On May 22, 2024, #Norway officially recognized the State of #Palestine around eight months into the start of #Israel’s ongoing genocide in #Gaza, which started in October 2023, and have so far killed over 60,000 #Palestinians, most of whom children and women.
▪️Israel has also launched another ethnic cleansing campaign in the West Bank earlier this year, having already forcibly expelled all Palestinians from the #Jenin refugee camp, with a similar campaign now underway in #Tulkarm.
▪️The decision comes despite a growing majority in Israel - including its leadership - rejecting any form of the so-called “two-state solution,” and increasing calls to fully occupy all of Palestine, including the “UN-recognized Palestinian territories of the West Bank and Gaza.”
▪️With Norway’s decision, 13 #European countries and 148 out of 193 #UN member states have now formally recognized #Palestine as a sovereign state, outraging Israel and its #US ally.

The U.S. is rewriting global trade rules through 'geo-industrial policy' in which free trade is subordinated to geopolitics—using CHIPS Act, AI chip bans, and ally coercion to fracture China’s tech rise.
This Cold War 2.0 strategy (sector-specific, not systemic) risks accelerating multipolarity as Global South nations reject binary alignment.
Some experts warn that weaponizing interdependence may shatter the liberal order faster than it contains China. A calculated gamble or self-sabotage?

A Palestinian woman issued a distress call via voice message from #Shuja'iyya in northern #Gaza, as Israeli occupation forces closed in on #Palestinians trapped in the city following a new ground invasion and siege.
▪️The attack involved intense bombings, heavy shelling, and a large-scale ground assault, aimed at occupying the city as part of a broader plan to seize control of northern Gaza and cut it off from the southern part of the Strip.
▪️ At least 50 Palestinians have been killed so far, with dozens more wounded, while many remain trapped under the rubble.
