| Israel’s aggression Continues Unabated in West Bank | | |
Asad Mirza
Israel unabatedly continues its expansionist policy in the West Bank. The US, United Nations and several Arab states have criticised Israel as it expands powers in the occupied West Bank by allowing Jewish Israelis to buy West Bank land directly, and extending greater Israeli control over areas where the Palestinian Authority exercises power.
A White House official has reiterated Donald Trump’s opposition towards Israel annexing the West Bank, after Israeli plans were announced that would pave the way for more settlements in the occupied Palestinian territory.
The measures, announced on Sunday (February 8), included allowing Jewish Israelis to buy West Bank land ... |

These conflicts, though costly, ultimately reshaped the regional order and contributed to long-term stra... |

By Fatima Baloch
Pakistan was created by the British in the name of Islam, but Pakistan has little to do with Muslims or Islam. Instead, it has consistently served British and U.S. strategic interests against Muslims. With British support, the Muslim League was established in Dhaka in 1905 in opposition to the Indian National Congress (INC). The British encouraged Hindu–Muslim riots to sustain their colonial policy of “divide and rule” and to advance their scheme of creating Pakistan in the name of religion.
