When it comes to coalition, Israeli parties are not willing to hold hands with Arab Parties to form the Government. This is against David Ben Gurion’s dream about Israel. He has issued the Declaration of Independence. Ben Kurien will be rolling on his grave. He specifically included the statement in “The Declaration of Independence”: The Declaration (proclaimed by David Ben-Gurion) contains the closest statements to secular or liberal principles on religion: - It guarantees complete equality of social and political rights to all inhabitants irrespective of religion, race or sex. - It guarantees freedom of religion, conscience, language, education and culture. -It pledges to safeguard the Holy Places of all religions. -It describes the state as based on freedom, justice and peace as envisaged by the prophets of Israel. -It closes with the compromise phrase “Placing our trust in the Rock of Israel” (Tzur Yisrael), which avoided an explicit reference to God so both religious and secular leaders could sign. Israeli courts have long treated them as guiding principles. But current genre of leaders are appearing to be completely hating Arabs and Palestinians. How will they be in the same country. This justifies the two-state solution as the permanent solution for peace. #TwoStates #Israel #Palestine #IsraelElections

Persia might watch them closely, looking for coalition meetings where all leaders are present. A golden chance to avenge.
As Israel votes, the results will again highlight how its parliamentary system, based on proportional representation, tends to produce complex coalition politics in which minor parties can wield significant influence over government formation. It is telling that no single party in Israel’s history has ever won an outright parliamentary majority on its own. The most likely outcome, as recent polling suggests, is that neither the pro-Netanyahu coalition nor the opposition bloc will reach the 61 seats needed to form a government on its own. The deadlock is likely to be broken only through coalition poaching, involving concessions to defecting parties or lawmakers from the opposing camp (which will once again highlight the transactional nature of Israeli coalition politics); or the formation of a broad-based emergency coalition; or a slide back into the cycle of snap elections seen between 2019 and 2022.

Qatar doesn’t want to join the camp where UAE and Saudi Arabia are in. They have different priorities. Oman is another hard nut to crack, still they are figuring out which side to lean on. Kuwait and Bahrain are lackeys. As of today, Kuwait is leaning towards Qatar and Iran, whereas Bahrain is in a dilemma whether to follow Saudi Arabia or Israel. Good to know that big boys are sitting in table, Nuclear Pakistan, NATO Turkey, Biggest Arab KSA, and Powerful Iran. They shape up and set the new path forward. Hope the Middle East finally comes out free from the clutches of US and Israel.
Oct 26 (Reuters) - Russian President Vladimir Putin will hold meetings with Iranian President Massoud Pezeshkian and the Emir of Qatar Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani in Moscow on Tuesday, the Kremlin said.

The condition they wanted you to see as natural: Your language less precise than theirs. Your history less significant than theirs. Your intellectual tradition less developed than theirs. Your capacity for self-governance less proven than theirs. Your poverty the result of your people’s choices rather than their extraction. Your position in the global hierarchy reflecting the actual shape of human capacity rather than the outcomes of specific historical violence. All of this was taught. Not always explicitly. More often structurally. Through what was present in the curriculum and what was absent. Through which achievements were held up and which were rendered invisible. Through the quiet, persistent, unremarked assumption embedded in what counted as knowledge and where knowledge came from. It was not brainwashing in the crude sense. It was something more durable: the shaping of the framework through which a person evaluates evidence. You cannot simply present facts to someone whose framework for evaluating facts was built to exclude certain conclusions. You have to change the framework. The recovery of history is how the framework changes. #RSS #BJP #NORTHvsSOUTH #AryansDravidians

Warmongers…
Trump urges Israelis to re-elect Netanyahu to complete joint war against Iran —— US President Donald Trump issued a direct endorsement of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ahead of Israel's legislative election, calling on voters to keep the Israeli leader in office to finish their shared geopolitical mission. In a statement published on social media last week, Trump highlighted what he characterized as an exceptional working relationship between Washington and Tel Aviv, urging Israelis to back Netanyahu as an outstanding 'warrior leader.' Trump pointed to recent joint military strikes across the region, citing aggressive attacks aimed at dismantling Iranian defense capabilities and neutralizing its so-called nuclear ambitions. The US president framed the election as a critical moment to permanently eliminate long-standing regional threats and hostile chants directed at both nations. Trump reiterated that electing Netanyahu remains essential to securing their shared strategic objectives across the region.

When Elections announced, the existing PM becomes a ‘caretaker’ PM, and cannot take major decisions unless the country is being attacked or natural disasters. So, Netanyahu is overplaying his hands by initiating an attack on Iran. When he doesn’t have authority and yet wants to believe he will be elected again. Israeli parliament is a joke.
Israeli Channel 12 reported on an "unprecedented confrontation" that erupted between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and IOF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir over an order that the military believes could ignite a sudden war on Iran just days before the Israeli legislative elections on October 27. The Israeli channel detailed that Zamir received an instruction from Netanyahu’s government in recent days and sought an in-depth discussion and "legal, signed documentation" from the political leadership before proceeding. Against this backdrop, a senior security official warned that the step "could lead to a lightning confrontation with Iran at a sensitive and dramatic moment, and produce a miscalculation." However, the report did not disclose the nature of the order, noting that its publication was subject to Israeli military censorship. It also cited sources who feared the government was seeking to "exploit the Iran issue for political momentum" ahead of the elections.

It’s not about LNG. LPG, which is used in homes. Iran provides the bulk, 71%, via land (~7,000 MT/day normally, ~half or more of imports). Sea imports (Qatar, UAE, Iraq, Oman and others) make up the rest. LPG cost increases will directly affect households and cause anger among your voters.
Pakistan doesn't import any LNG from Iran, as Pakistan's 90% LNG needs are fulfilled by Qatar. Hence reports that Iran has stopped LNG export to Pakistan are false & are a propaganda by IRGC bots & social team cell. @grok please enlist Pakistan's top LNG suppliers, thanks.

Starshield is controlled by Pentagon, CIA and trump. Mi6 pissed off since UK unable to target Russia in the name of Ukraine.. So, they used Starlink terminals attached to Drones. While Trump has tried hard to bring Diesel from Russia, and Zelenskyy kills Russian using Starlink. Elon is right.
Replying to @jamiedupree
Exactly. Starlink’s terms have remained consistent as a civilian system, not a means of killing. Violation of those terms will result in end of service. Starshield use is a decision of the US government. End of story.
23
Both Starshield and StarLink services are delivered from the same satellite infrastructure. Hardware and orbital infrastructure are closely related—Starshield builds on the Starlink platform for scale and efficiency—while dedicated Starshield satellites handle specialized government missions beyond pure commercial broadband. The boundary is defined more by cryptography, control, terminals, and contractual terms than by entirely separate physical satellites. Will @elonmusk deny? When the Satellite is muted or destroyed because of its military nature, SpaceX shouldn’t scream about disrupting civilian satellite communications.

Starshield restored, more drones are coming. Is Putin cheated by Trump? Why still Russian Diesel is sent to US
Russian air defense systems intercepted and destroyed 616 Ukrainian drones overnight over Russian regions and the waters of the Azov and Black seas, the Russian Defense Ministry reported: vk.cc/d3daEX

Politicians behave in the same way irrespective of geography. They are able to blatantly lie that their lies go uncontested as they are always a one way speech with no interactions.

Is India going to send its military to assist Israel in the upcoming Israeli-initiated War on Iran? Most likely Bibi is requesting India to let Israeli jets refuel in Mumbai or Pune on the way to their attacks on Iran. India has never permitted this act before, even in first Gulf War and Second to US or Israel. Will Modi heed to the request of Bibi? That will be a big blow to the carefully constructed Non-Alignment/Ride-on all parties Geopolitical strategy,

I swear no one trolls Trump as hard as the Iranians 😂 Yes, that is a living billboard of him in JAIL in the heart of Tehran

Yemenis are targeting Riyadh in retaliation. US has ordered non-essential embassy staff to leave Saudi Arabia.
*US: ORDERED DEPARTURE FOR SOME STAFF IN SAUDI ARABIA, NOT GULF

Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Turkiye have signed a Mecca Pact, which is a defence pact. Turkiye, Qatar, Pakistan, Indonesia sign ‘Badr’ pact on military cooperation. UAE and Bahrain have already signed Abraham Accord with Israel, which means military cooperation. Kuwait and Oman are left; Most likely they will sign a military pact with Iran. BTW, where is US?

5-days to go before the general elections in Israel. Early voting for Israeli soldiers and active-duty reservists began on, 21 October 2026, ahead of the national election on 27 October. The military announced approximately 850 polling stations, including mobile stations serving deployed troops. Voting will continue according to operational schedules until election-day polls close. Meanwhile, Bibi is provoking Iran to attack Israel to stop the election. Iran is carefully assessing the situation and highly unlikely Iran will initiate any preemptive attacks on Israel. To add, US is withdrawing its non-essential embassy staff across Middle East, showing that war is brewing. What is the objective of the war? Does it mean any nation can attack another without any consequences? #USIsraelWar #UnnecesaaryWar
