  • Hamas accuses Israel of ‘planned massacre’ after over 70 Palestinians killed in Gaza City |

    Over 70 Palestinians were killed in a violent incident in Gaza City on Friday, with a Hamas official accusing Israeli authorities of orchestrating a “planned massacre,” as reported by Al Jazeera.

    Ismail al-Thawabta, Director-General of the Hamas Government Media Office, claimed that the Israeli military directed thousands of Palestinians in eastern Gaza City to move to western and southern neighbourhoods and then opened fire on them once they arrived.

    He further disclosed that rescue crews have recovered 70 bodies from the Tal al-Hawa area, and at least 50 people remain missing, according to al-Thawabta.

    “Some displaced people were pointing to the Israeli army, carrying white flags and saying, ‘We are not fighters; we are displaced.’ But the Israeli occupation army executed these displaced people with cold blood,” al-Thawabta said.

    “The Israeli army was planning to carry out that massacre in Tal al-Hawa.”

    He called on the international community to pressure Israel to end its “war of extermination” against Palestinians.

    United Nations spokesperson Stephane Dujarric condemned the recovery of the bodies in Gaza City, calling it “yet another tragic example of the toll on civilians” in the ongoing conflict.

    This incident adds to a series of devastating events that have caused significant loss of life and displacement in Gaza.

    According to reports, the death toll from the incident has risen to over 70, with many others injured. The UN has reiterated its call for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire and the unconditional release of all hostages taken during the conflict.

    “While this conflict is going on, it is not only impossible to give people the medical support they need, the food they need, the shelter they need, but also the dignified burial that they need,” Dujarric said.

    The spokesperson for UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres added that there will be “a need for accountability” when the conflict in Gaza ends. “But right now, people are hungry. People need water. People need medical help. And that’s what we’re trying to do in the middle of a combat zone,” he said.

    Since Israel’s war on Gaza erupted in October, the West Bank has also seen a surge in violence.

    According to Palestinian officials, at least 553 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces and settlers in the West Bank, and 9,510 have been detained.

    About 3 million Palestinians live in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, where more than 500,000 Israelis reside in over 100 settlements.

A senior Defense Department official said on Monday that planes had flown to deliver weapons, although details were not given.

  • Israel War: Gold and silver prices will be affected from trade in India, know why traders are worried

    Israel Hamas War: The impact of the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas in India is beginning to be seen on the Indian market and economy. The demand for gold and silver has increased in the physical market. Due to this, the premium on gold has increased rapidly. Due to this, the prices of gold and silver (Gold-Silver Price Hike) has also increased. It is being told that the premium on gold has increased by seven thousand rupees. Now the premium on 10 grams of gold has become Rs 2,000. Earlier the premium on 10 grams of gold was only Rs 1300. Due to high premium, bullion traders at many places have refused to sell gold. Whereas, the premium on silver has increased by one thousand rupees per kg. At present the premium on silver is Rs 3500. Earlier it used to cost only Rs 2500. Indian bullion traders are facing this problem at a time when the demand for gold has increased in the Indian market. Due to the festive and wedding season, there is a surge in demand every year from October to December. 700-800 tonnes of gold is consumed every year in India. But, out of this only 1 tonne is produced in India. The remaining gold in the country is imported from outside.

    Insurance premium and shipping will also be affected

    Experts believe that Indian exporters sending goods to Israel may face higher insurance premiums and shipping costs due to the Israel-Hamas conflict. Hamas terrorists launched an unexpected attack on Israel on Saturday during a major Jewish holiday, worsening the situation there. International trade experts believe that the conflict may reduce the profits of domestic exporters, although it will not have any impact on the size of trade unless the situation worsens. Research institute Global Trade Research Initiative (GTRI) said on Sunday that the struggle for India’s merchandise exports could lead to an increase in insurance premiums and shipping costs. ECGC of India can charge higher risk premium from Indian companies exporting to Israel. ECGC Limited (formerly Export Credit Guarantee Corporation of India Limited) is wholly owned by the Government of India.

    The situation will become serious due to port being affected

    Mumbai-based exporter and founder president of Technocraft Industries India, Sharad Kumar Saraf, said that if the situation worsens, things could get worse for our exporters from that region. Whereas, GTRI co-founder Ajay Srivastava said that trade could be seriously affected if operations at Israel’s three largest ports, Haifa, Ashdod and Eilat, are disrupted. India-Israel trade in goods and services sectors is estimated to be US $ 12 billion in 2022-2023. Indian companies like Sun Pharma, Tata Consultancy Services, Wipro, Tech Mahindra, State Bank of India, Larsen & Toubro and Infosys have presence in Israel. Israeli companies have invested in renewable energy, real estate and water technologies in India. They are also setting up research and development centers and production units in India. Between April 2000 and June 2023, Israeli companies have invested US$286 million (FDI) in India.
