कांग्रेस संसदीय दल (CPP) की अध्यक्ष सोनिया गांधी ने 27 जून 2026 को प्रकाशित एक ओपिनियन लेख में गाजा मानवीय संकट और विशेष रूप से बच्चों की दुर्दशा पर मोदी सरकार की ‘पथरीली चुप्पी’ (Stony Silence) को लेकर तीखे सवाल उठाए हैं। उन्होंने कहा है कि भारत का यह रुख देश के नैतिक मूल्यों और रणनीतिक राष्ट्रीय हितों दोनों के खिलाफ है।

खामोशी का क्या मतलब?

कांग्रेस की वरिष्ठ नेता सोनिया गांधी ने गाजा में इजराइल की सैन्य कार्रवाई पर केंद्र सरकार की चुप्पी पर सवाल उठाए हैं। उन्होंने बताया कि संयुक्त राष्ट्र के स्वतंत्र अंतरराष्ट्रीय जांच आयोग की रिपोर्ट में कहा गया है कि इजराइल गाजा में फिलिस्तीनियों के अस्तित्व को खत्म करने की दिशा में आगे बढ़ रहा है। उन्होंने कहा कि इतनी गंभीर रिपोर्ट के बावजूद मोदी सरकार की चुप्पी चिंताजनक है।

भारत की खामोशी

सोनिया ने लिखा है कि भारत आज एकमात्र ऐसी आवाज है जिसने इस मुद्दे पर चुप्पी साध रखी है। जब पूरी दुनिया इजराइल के खिलाफ खड़ी हो रही है, तब भारत सरकार को कुछ भी नहीं कहना समझ से परे है। उन्होंने यह भी बताया कि जस्टिस एस. मुरलीधर की रिपोर्ट पर भी मोदी सरकार की तरफ से कोई प्रतिक्रिया नहीं आई।

इतिहास की नज़ाकत

सोनिया ने जस्टिस मुरलीधर के पिछले कार्यों का भी जिक्र किया, जिनका तबादला उस समय हुआ, जब उन्होंने BJP नेताओं की विवादित टिप्पणियों पर सवाल उठाए थे। उनका कहना है कि भारत को हमेशा उपनिवेशवाद के खिलाफ एक मजबूत आवाज के रूप में जाना जाता रहा है, लेकिन आज यह उदासीन दिखाई दे रहा है।

अमेरिकी समर्थन का असर

सोनिया ने इजराइल के युद्ध अपराधों पर अमेरिका के समर्थन का आरोप लगाया। उनका कहना है कि अमेरिका की विवादास्पद नीतियों के कारण इजराइल को अपनी सैन्य कार्रवाइयां जारी रखने का मौका मिल रहा है। अन्य देशों का जमीर जाग चुका है और इजराइल के खिलाफ आवाज उठाई जा रही है।

 UN रिपोर्ट का हवाला

सोनिया गांधी ने अपने लेख में गाजा में बच्चों की स्थिति को लेकर दिल दहला देने वाले तथ्यों का जिक्र किया। उन्होंने संयुक्त राष्ट्र (UN) के स्वतंत्र अंतरराष्ट्रीय जांच आयोग की जून 2026 की रिपोर्ट का हवाला दिया, जिसकी अगुआई भारत के पूर्व न्यायाधीश जस्टिस एस. मुरलीधर कर रहे हैं। इस 94 पन्नों की रिपोर्ट के अनुसार, इजराइल गाजा में फिलिस्तीनियों के अस्तित्व को खत्म करने के इरादे से बच्चों को सुनियोजित रणनीति के तहत निशाना बना रहा है।

हताहतों के भयावह आंकड़े

गाजा में अब तक 20,000 से अधिक बच्चों की मौत हो चुकी है और 44,000 से अधिक बच्चे घायल या हमेशा के लिए विकलांग हो चुके हैं, जो कुल हताहतों का लगभग 27% है। गाजा के 97% स्कूल और बच्चों के अस्पतालों सहित पूरी स्वास्थ्य व्यवस्था नष्ट कर दी गई है। इसके कारण वहां गर्भपात और प्रसव संबंधी जटिलताओं में 300% की वृद्धि दर्ज की गई है।

दर्दनाक कहानियाँ

सोनिया ने पांच वर्षीय फिलिस्तीनी बच्ची हिंद रजब की कहानी बताई, जिसकी कार पर इजराइली सैनिकों ने अंधाधुंध गोलियां बरसाई और जो गाजा में अपने परिवार के साथ आने-जाने में मारी गई। उन्होंने आरोप लगाया कि इस घटना पर बनी फिल्म की भारत में रिलीज को कई महीनों तक रोका गया था। हिंद की कहानी ने गाजा की त्रासदी को बयां किया है। इस हादसे ने दिखाया कि बच्चों को भी जबर्दस्त खतरे का सामना करना पड़ रहा है।

भारत की बदलती प्राथमिकताएँ

सोनिया ने कहा कि भारत दुनिया से दूर होते हुए इजराइल के और करीब जा रहा है। उन्होंने मोदी की इजराइल यात्रा का उल्लेख करते हुए कहा कि यह ऐसे समय पर हुई जब इजराइल ने ईरान पर हमला किया था। यह एक संजीदा रणनीतिक गलती हो सकती है, जिसके नतीजे गंभीर हो सकते हैं।

विदेश नीति और चुप्पी पर उठाए सवाल

सोनिया गांधी ने भारत सरकार की विदेश नीति पर कड़ा प्रहार करते हुए पारंपरिक नीति से भटकाव के आरोप लगाए। भारत ऐतिहासिक रूप से फिलिस्तीन के अधिकारों का समर्थक रहा है। वर्तमान सरकार इस संतुलित रुख से हटकर पूरी तरह इजराइल के रणनीतिक प्रभाव में आ चुकी है।

रणनीतिक नुकसान

भारत ने फिलिस्तीन, ईरान और पश्चिम एशिया के अपने पुराने और भरोसेमंद सहयोगियों को खुद से दूर कर लिया है। बदले में देश को सिर्फ पीएम नरेंद्र मोदी और बेंजामिन नेतन्याहू की व्यक्तिगत दोस्ती मिली है। दुनिया के कई देश और अंतरराष्ट्रीय निकाय इजराइल की सैन्य कार्रवाई से दूरी बना रहे हैं, जबकि भारत इसके विपरीत रुख अपना रहा है।

पाकिस्तान का फायदा

उनका कहना था कि भारत की चुप्पी का फायदा पाकिस्तान ने उठाया है, जिसने खुद को मध्यस्थ के रूप में दिखाने की कोशिश की है। ऐतिहासिक संबंधों के कारण यह भूमिका स्वाभाविक रूप से भारत को मिलनी चाहिए थी। भारतीय नेता नहीं चाहते कि भारत अपने नैतिक मूल्यों और राष्ट्रीय हितों से समझौता करे।

सभी बच्चों की आवाज उठानी होगी

सोनिया ने कहा कि भारतीय राष्ट्र की भावना मांग करती है कि भारत गाजा में बच्चों के खिलाफ हो रहे अपराधों के खिलाफ आवाज उठाए। उन्होंने इस पर जोर दिया कि यह जरूरी है कि भारत फिलिस्तीनी परिवारों के प्रति सहानुभूति रखे और उनकी पुकार सुने।

भाजपा (BJP) की प्रतिक्रिया

सोनिया गांधी के इन आरोपों पर भारतीय जनता पार्टी (BJP) ने पलटवार किया है। भाजपा प्रवक्ता ने कांग्रेस पर विदेश नीति के मामलों में भी ‘वोट बैंक की राजनीति’ करने का आरोप लगाया। भाजपा ने कहा कि कांग्रेस गाजा के मुस्लिमों के लिए आवाज उठा रही है और राफा पर ट्वीट करती है, लेकिन ढाका (बांग्लादेश) में हिंदुओं पर होने वाले अत्याचारों पर चुप रहती है। सरकार ने स्पष्ट किया कि भारत ने हमेशा संयुक्त राष्ट्र (UN) के मंचों पर युद्धविराम और मानवीय सहायता के लिए मतदान किया है तथा गाजा के लोगों को निरंतर मानवीय सहायता भेजी है।

Abbas Araghchi, Iran’s Foreign Minister, indicated in remarks reported by Tasnim news agency that Tehran will not remain passive in the event of an attack on the Lebanese capital. He added that the Iranian military has been placed on full alert to prepare for a potential response to Israeli threats against Beirut’s southern suburbs.

These comments from Araghchi follow claims made by Trump, who suggested that he has received commitments from both Israel and Hezbollah to cease hostilities. He described this situation as a vital diplomatic breakthrough, potentially averting a broader Israeli operation in Lebanon.

Ongoing Diplomatic Efforts

Araghchi mentioned that channels of dialogue between Iran and the United States remain open, although significant progress has yet to be made in their discussions. Both parties are reportedly examining draft texts that have been exchanged recently.

A spokesperson for the Iranian negotiating team, communicating with Fars news agency, confirmed that Tehran has not yet provided its response to the latest proposal from the US. This official stated that negotiations are still in progress and that a conclusive decision has not been reached.

In terms of the potential outcomes, the reported agreement between Iran and the United States, if finalised, would implement a four-stage mechanism. The Iranian official further asserted that any agreement would not overlook Lebanon’s situation, emphasising the importance of continued discussions.

Prospects for Agreement Highlighted by Trump

President Trump has indicated that advancements in negotiations with Tehran could materialise imminently. During a press briefing at the White House on Wednesday, Trump stated that an agreement might be nearing finalisation but cautioned that certainty is not guaranteed.

<h4″They are close to signing papers,” Trump commented, noting that negotiations are progressing favourably. He mentioned that a significant breakthrough could potentially occur over the coming weekend.

<h4Furthermore, Trump discussed elements of the ongoing deal with Iran, stating that the United States is expected to secure Tehran’s stockpile of highly enriched uranium. This aspect remains one of the primary challenges within the negotiation framework. “We will get it,” he stated, reinforcing that the management of Iran’s enriched uranium reserves is crucial for any prospective agreement.

Kerry Draws Lessons from Past Conflicts

Reflecting on his experiences as a veteran of the Vietnam War, Kerry articulated the significance of transparency in governance when considering military action. He asserted that the misrepresentation of the conflicts in Vietnam and Iraq highlights the necessity of honest communication with the public before deploying armed forces. He emphasised, “The lesson of that war and of Iraq is don’t lie to the American people and then ask them to send their sons and daughters to fight.” This ethos formed a core part of the resistance to engaging in a new conflict with Iran.

Moreover, Kerry dismissed Netanyahu’s arguments as lacking credibility, describing them as a “prediction” that did not materialise. He pointed out that the anticipated uprisings or transitions in power had not occurred, undermining the Israeli leader’s justification for military intervention.

Trump’s Administration Responds Differently to Netanyahu’s Proposal

President Trump reportedly responded positively to this proposal, saying, “Sounds good to me,” which effectively signalled approval for further discussions regarding a potential joint military operation. This marked a significant shift in the United States’ stance towards Iran, which had been largely characterised by restraint under prior administrations.

Despite initially backing the proposal, the strategy came under scrutiny from within the US administration. Reports indicated that Vice President JD Vance confronted Netanyahu about his optimistic assessments of the situation. Vance expressed doubts regarding the likelihood of successful regime change in Iran, critiquing what he termed “overly rosy assumptions” related to the conflict. Such internal discussions suggested a growing caution among US officials about the risks involved in military intervention.

Concerns Over Military Intervention Persist

The dynamic between the Israeli Prime Minister and the US President highlights the complexities involved in deliberating military action. A US official conveyed that Netanyahu had presented an overly simplified view of the potential for regime change, likening it to a straightforward venture. Vance’s pushback illustrated a critical hesitation among US leadership concerning the accuracy of Israel’s assessments and the overall ramifications of engaging in a military conflict with Iran.

This ongoing dialogue reflects a continuing challenge for US-Israel relations, particularly as both nations navigate the geopolitical implications of military strategies in the Middle East. Both the timing and approach of any proposed military action remain subjects of intense scrutiny and debate among US officials.

As discussions unfold, the historical context of previous administrations’ decisions serves as a crucial reference point for current policymakers aiming to balance their strategic interests in the region.

In a post on X, an individual expressed shock and sympathy for the victims, underscoring the emotional weight of the video. This text included phrases that raised alarms about the purported brutality of the situation, reinforcing the public’s outrage and concern for the welfare of the alleged victims.

The video carries a caption stating, “HORRIFIC: Independent Investigation Reveals How Young Palestinians Are Being Crushed and Killed Alive Inside Israeli Prisons This Is Torture and Murder.” Such assertions have naturally evoked strong emotional responses and calls for action.

Fact-Checking The Allegations

An investigation by Fact Check has revealed that the video circulating on social media is not a genuine portrayal of executions. Upon analysis, it was determined that the footage is actually sourced from an escape room horror game. This finding challenges the narrative surrounding the video and suggests a misunderstanding or misrepresentation of the content.

The pivotal clue in the investigation was the appearance of the Turkish term “koleksiyoncukorkuev,” translating to “collector horror house.” This led to the discovery of a social media account under the same name. Further inspection revealed an extended version of the video on the TikTok account @koleksiyoncukorkuevi, dated December 19, 2024, which categorically identified the content as part of a horror-themed entertainment experience.

The TikTok account frequently shares content associated with horror-themed escapades, further affirming that these videos were not depicting real-life executions. An Instagram account linked to the same company posted content promoting the Collector’s Horror House, substantiating the notion that the material was fabricated for entertainment purposes rather than representing actual violence or execution.

Previous Misinformation Surrounding The Video

<h4Additionally, it is noteworthy that similar videos had previously gained traction by falsely representing them as evidence of executions in Sednaya prison under the regime of Bashar al-Assad in Syria. The Turkish fact-checking organisation Teyit and the Arabic-language platform Misbar had both discredited these allegations, reaffirming the conclusion that the videos stemmed from a horror game rather than authentic incidents of violence or executions.

Moreover, the India Today Fact Check team has previously debunked other circulating videos falsely alleging the execution of Palestinian prisoners, reaffirming their commitment to clearing misinformation and providing accurate reporting on sensitive topics. The findings indicate a pressing need for discernment and thorough examination of readily available information, particularly in emotionally charged contexts.

This incident serves as a reminder of the complexities involved in interpreting multimedia content in an era defined by rapid information sharing. Public perception can be significantly influenced by such disturbing portrayals, which may not reflect actual events. Ensuring factual accuracy is paramount in discussions that have far-reaching implications on human rights and international relations.

The embassy’s response came after Trump made a series of claims on Friday, asserting that Iran had agreed to significant concessions, including a pledge to keep the Strait of Hormuz open. In their sarcastic remarks, Iranian officials encouraged Trump to exhibit a degree of dignity and refrain from provocative comments regarding matters pertaining to the strait.

The embassy’s message also included a series of recommendations for Trump, including urging him to disconnect from his devices and take a break from social media. They emphasised a need for the US leader to momentarily pause interactions with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, whom they referred to as “Bibi.”

Details of Trump’s Announcements

On Friday, President Trump made a multitude of claims through various social media platforms, asserting that Iran had assured the US it would never again close the strategic Strait of Hormuz. In a post on Truth Social, he expressed his belief that Iran would responsibly manage the strait and not utilise it as a political tool against the global community.

Trump’s assertions were characterised by an upbeat tone, as he described the day as a “great and brilliant day for the world.” He contended that positive developments were on the horizon, pointing to Iran’s supposed commitment to transferring its “nuclear dust” to the US as part of ongoing diplomatic efforts. This announcement sparked significant reactions, particularly from Iranian officials.

Following Trump’s proclamation, the Iranian embassy’s statement made it clear that they did not appreciate such claims. They reiterated their position that Tehran is fully capable of managing its own affairs without external interference and questioned the validity of the US President’s assertions.

Iran’s Place in Regional Dynamics

The Strait of Hormuz is a crucial waterway, being a key passage for global oil shipments. Therefore, any discussions related to its management are significant not only for involved parties but also for the international community at large. Iran’s strategic position in this region has historically been a point of contention in its relations with Western nations and particularly the US.

In historical context, tensions relating to the Strait of Hormuz have often escalated due to geopolitical rivalries. Thus, the nature of Trump’s claims and the subsequent Iranian response underscores the delicate balance of diplomacy in the region, where one nation’s statements can have widespread implications.

As diplomatic talks continue to evolve, the importance of restraint and communication between countries involved in the region cannot be overstated. The recent exchange reflects ongoing complexities and the necessity for careful navigation of international relations, particularly in areas vital to global trade and security.

He expressed concerns that the cyclical nature of aggression has historically led to the devastation of countries at the discretion of those wielding power. He highlighted the importance of addressing the issue through diplomatic channels and recommended a proactive stance towards dialogue with parties responsible for initiation of hostilities.

Iran’s Stance on Economic Impacts

When questioned about Iran’s influence on the global economic landscape amid ongoing tensions in West Asia, Motlagh attributed responsibility to those who initiated military actions against Iran. He asserted that Iran’s responses have been purely defensive in nature. He pointed out that as a significant oil producer, sanctions against Iran adversely affect global oil markets, perpetuating a historical pattern of hostility towards his country. This hostility, according to Motlagh, has escalated to include direct military confrontations, exacerbating the current global challenges.

The Strait of Hormuz and Regional Stability

Motlagh addressed concerns regarding Iran’s potential closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical passage for oil shipments. He clarified that such measures have been considered only in the context of hostile actions against Iran. He noted the existential threat posed to Iran by ongoing conflicts, stating that all national resources have been mobilized to address these threats. However, he reassured that Iran has refrained from closing the vital waterway for the benefit of global trade, especially taking into account nations like India, choosing instead to restrict access to entities linked with adversarial interests.

Calls for Conditions to Facilitate Negotiations

Amid rising global oil prices amidst the conflict, Motlagh expressed Iran’s readiness for negotiations, contingent upon specific prerequisites being met. He conveyed optimism for dialogue, asserting that international engagement is paramount to averting further assaults in the future. Motlagh reiterated Iran’s commitment to diplomatic solutions, contrasting it with what he termed as evidence of adversarial nations’ reluctance to engage constructively. Holding aggressor nations accountable, he stressed, is vital given the challenges and crises experienced due to their actions.

US and Iran: Increased Tensions and Nuclear Discussions

In a related context, US President Donald Trump remarked on Iran’s nuclear capabilities, stating that the nation has agreed not to pursue nuclear weapons. He highlighted this development as an opportunity for Iran to curtail its perceived threats toward the US and its allies. Trump further declared that the dismantling of Iran’s defensive infrastructure has significantly reduced its military capacities. These statements come amid rising concerns regarding regional stability and the implications of Iran’s actions on international peace.

Alleged Lack of Support from NATO

Trump characterized numerous NATO member states as “non-responsive” for their hesitancy to back the US’s initiatives in the region. He implied that the US’s strategic position does not depend on the Strait of Hormuz, a vital maritime route for global energy supplies. In his remarks, he stated, “I wonder what would happen if we ‘finished off’ what’s left of the Iranian Terror State, and let the Countries that use it, we don’t, be responsible for the so-called ‘Straight?’” This line underscores his view that other nations should share responsibility in safeguarding crucial economic chokepoints.

Previous Statements on Military Operations

Earlier, Trump had criticized NATO allies after several indicated their reluctance to join the military campaign against Iran amid rising tensions in West Asia. Despite a general consensus that Iran should not develop nuclear capabilities, he pointed out that many allies have signaled their unwillingness to engage in military operations against the Iranian regime. In his post, he remarked that while other countries may agree with the US stance, few are willing to provide backup.

Concerns Over Strategic Alliances

Trump articulated that he was not surprised by the lack of support from NATO allies, framing the alliance as a “one-way street.” He expressed frustration with the notion that the US significantly invests in defending allied nations without receiving proportionate support in return. His comments highlighted concerns over the financial burden on the US, stating that Washington expends “Hundreds of Billions of Dollars per year” for the protection of these countries, which he believes do little to contribute when needed.

Implications for International Relations

These comments come at a pivotal time for US foreign policy, particularly regarding relations with allies in Europe. Trump’s remarks may reflect underlying tensions as the situation in Iran continues to evolve. His advocacy for a more aggressive stance against Iran and the call for allies to take responsibility underscores the complexities of international military coalitions and the burden-sharing debate within NATO.

The affected destinations include Dubai, Doha, Amman, Bahrain, Dammam, Kuwait City, Copenhagen, Baghdad, and Khasab. The airline specified that these cancellations will remain in effect until March 31.

Operational Update from Oman Air

In a recent update, Oman Air confirmed the suspension of flights to and from the affected cities due to ongoing regional airspace closures. These closures are influencing flight operations throughout the Middle East, leading to several airlines needing to cancel or alter their services.

Oman Air emphasized that it continues to operate a significant portion of its network, but some routes are temporarily impacted. The airline released a statement urging passengers with canceled bookings to manage their arrangements via their digital platforms or customer service for rebooking and refund options.

Impact on Passengers and Travel Infrastructure

The cancellations from Oman Air are poised to affect thousands of travelers who depend on the airline for connections across the Gulf and other regions. This announcement arises as other airlines in the Middle East are also adjusting their flight schedules in view of security concerns and airspace restrictions. The Middle East serves as a crucial transit hub for international travel, and disruptions in this area can have a ripple effect across global airline networks.

Recent Incidents at Major Airports

Disruptions have also impacted major aviation hubs in the region, including Dubai International Airport, which briefly suspended operations due to a drone-related incident nearby. This action led to delays and cancellations of flights as airlines, including Emirates, conducted safety checks. The swift response underscored the fragility of aviation operations and how quickly security issues can affect global air travel.

Safety Measures and Future Operations

Despite the ongoing disruptions, aviation authorities and airlines are reiterating that passenger safety remains their foremost priority. Carriers are continuously assessing the geopolitical landscape and working with international aviation regulators to determine when full services can be reinstated.

The flight cancellations by Oman Air are described as a precaution to ensure the safety of travelers and crew as regional airspace conditions remain uncertain. The airline plans to keep reviewing the situation and will make necessary adjustments to its schedules in response to further developments.

Fluid Situation in Regional Air Travel

For travelers, the current climate means that flight schedules across the Middle East may remain unstable in the coming weeks. Airlines will likely continue to adapt their operations based on the evolving situation. Until the airspace restrictions are lifted and security improves, interruptions in travel plans could persist, affecting a significant number of passengers relying on air travel through this pivotal region.

In his statement, Trump clarified that the aircraft in question had not been “struck or destroyed.” He emphasized that four of the planes suffered “virtually no damage,” while one incurred “slightly more damage.” This response specifically targeted publications such as The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal, which he accused of poor reporting that could benefit adversaries of the United States.

Details of the Incident

The media backlash followed reports indicating that the US Air Force refuelling planes sustained damage during a recent missile strike attributed to Iran at the Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia. According to The Wall Street Journal, which cited two US officials, the aircraft were indeed damaged but not destroyed and are currently undergoing repairs. There were no reported casualties from the incident.

Trump continued his critique by stating, “Yet again, an intentionally misleading headline by the Fake News Media about the five tanker planes that were supposedly struck down at an airport in Saudi Arabia, and of no further use.” He added that the base had experienced an attack a few days prior but reiterated that the planes remained intact.

Reactions to Coverage

The President’s comments reflect a broader frustration with media narratives that he believes distort reality regarding US military operations. He expressed concern that the reporting could harm public perception and support for military actions, claiming that the portrayals of these events are erroneous and detrimental.

Trump’s statements seem aimed at rallying public sentiment against what he sees as biased journalism. “The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal (in particular), and other Lowlife ‘Papers’ and Media actually want us to lose the War,” he stated. This sentiment underscores his ongoing struggle with media relations throughout his presidency.

Military and Diplomatic Context

The backdrop for these comments is an escalation of tensions in West Asia, where military activities and geopolitical conflicts have been pervasive. The incidents at Prince Sultan Air Base are part of a broader narrative involving the US military engagement in the region and Iranian threats. As military assets remain crucial for US operations, accurate reporting on their status is critical.

As the situation unfolds, it’s expected that both military capabilities and media coverage will continue to be closely analyzed. The focus will remain on the effectiveness of US strategies in the region amidst the complex dynamics involving local and international actors.
