As more global hotspots and crises emerge, the Indian government has been issuing travel advisories for its nationals. Over the weekend, India's Ministry of External Affairs issued an updated advisory for Bangladesh in which it "strongly advised" Indians against travelling to the country that has seen increased violence in the last 24 hours.

The MEA statement said, "All Indian nationals presently in Bangladesh are advised to exercise extreme caution, restrict their movements and remain in contact with the High Commission of India in Dhaka through their emergency phone numbers". Over 8000 Indian students have left Bangladesh since the outbreak of violence in the last few weeks.

Last week saw India issuing an advisory for Lebanon and Israel as the situation worsens in the backdrop of the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran which Iran blames on Israeli authorities. Some strong reaction is being expected from Iran, keeping West Asia on the edge.

The Indian embassy in Lebanon issued three&nbsp;back-to-back advisories, the last one advising Indians against all travel to and from Lebanon. The Indian embassy in Israel asked its nationals to "stay vigilant and adhere to the safety protocols". Meanwhile, Air India has suspended flights to Tel Aviv. Israel has 26000 Indians, Iran has 10,000 Indians and Lebanon has 4000 Indians.&nbsp;

Not just the neighbourhood and West Asia, India has alerted its nationals in Nigeria and Kenya as well since both countries face&nbsp;internal crisis and have significant presence of Indians.

While these advisories have been issued in the past few months, Indian advisories have been issued for specific reasons and for specific strata of society. For example, India has advisories for Indian students in the US, Canada and Russia where reports have emerged of Indian students losing lives. In South East Asia, advisories for Myanmar, Laos and Cambodia where Indians have found themselves being the target of fake job racket scams. 
&nbsp; 
Not just travel advisories, but three&nbsp;countries have been banned for Indians to visit. These are five provinces of Iraq, Yemen and Libya. As per the travel advisory issued on February 18, 2020, Indian nationals should not travel to five provinces of Iraq, namely Nineveh, Salahuddin, Diyala, Anbar and Kirkuk due to the security situation.

India issued an advisory on Yemen in 2016/2017 under which all Indian nationals are strongly advised to avoid travelling to Yemen under any circumstances.

Morning news brief: Biden sets Netanyahu straight; Hezbollah targets Israel, and more

US President Joe Biden&nbsp;told his Israeli counterpart, Benjamin Netanyahu to "stop bullshi**ing" him during a telephone conversation as talks surrounding the hostage deal reached an impasse, according to a report in Times of Israel.&nbsp;

Biden scolded the Israeli PM&nbsp;during their conversation on Thursday (Aug 1) as he believes that Netanyahu was intentionally stalling the truce talks to benefit his position in the country's internal politics.&nbsp;

At the end of Thursday’s conversation, Biden also reportedly said,&nbsp;“Don’t take the president for granted."

The truce and hostage talks have been ongoing for months but no breakthrough has been made so far. However, after Biden's push, a high-level Israeli delegation visited Cairo on Saturday (Aug 3) for indirect talks with American and Egyptian negotiations on reaching a hostage-truce deal.&nbsp;

According to Israeli media reports, the bone of contention remains Netanyahu's position in the talks. There will be no real progress if the Israeli PM does not ease up a bit, Channel 12 said, quoting sources.&nbsp;

<h2>All out war in the region?</h2>

To make matters worse, the entire Middle East region is on the brink of an all-out war after Israel was allegedly linked to back-to-back assassinations&nbsp;of Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran and top Hezbollah commander Fuad Shukr in Beirut.&nbsp;

Washington is especially wary after Iranian Supreme Leader&nbsp;Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said avenging&nbsp;Haniyeh's blood was their 'duty' and vowed retaliation against Israel.&nbsp;

As a precautionary measure, the Pentagon confirmed that the US military had deployed fighter jets and navy warships in the Middle East to protect Israel from the triple whammy.&nbsp;

“Austin has ordered adjustments to US military posture designed to improve US force protection, to increase support for the defence of Israel and to ensure the United States is prepared to respond to various contingencies,” the Pentagon said.

US President Joe Biden told his Israeli counterpart, Benjamin Netanyahu to "stop bullshi**ing" him during a telephone conversation as talks surrounding the hostage deal reached an impasse, according to a report in Times of Israel. Biden scolded the Israeli PM during their conversation on Thursday (Aug 1) as he believes that Netanyahu was intentionally stalling the truce talks to benefit his position in the country's internal politics. At the end of Thursday’s conversation, Biden also reportedly said, “Don’t take the president for granted." The truce and hostage talks have been ongoing for months but no breakthrough has been made so far. However, after Biden's push, a high-level Israeli delegation visited Cairo on Saturday (Aug 3) for indirect talks with American and Egyptian negotiations on reaching a hostage-truce deal. According to Israeli media reports, the bone of contention remains Netanyahu's position in the talks. There will be no real progress if the Israeli PM does not ease up a bit, Channel 12 said, quoting sources.
