<p>Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday (Sep&nbsp;3) reacted to the United Kingdom's decision to suspend some arms sales to his country. In a post on social media platform X, Prime Minister Netanyahu said that the UK's decision was shameful.</p>

<p>"Instead of standing with Israel, a fellow democracy defending itself against barbarism, Britain’s misguided decision will only embolden Hamas," Netanyahu said.</p>

<p>"We recognise, of course, Israel's need to defend itself against security threats, but we are deeply worried by the methods that Israel's employed, and by reports of civilian casualties and the destruction of civilian infrastructure, particularly," he told parliament.</p>

<p>State Comptroller and Ombudsman of Israel, Matanyahu Englman, has blamed Prime Minister&nbsp;Benjamin Netanyahu's&nbsp;Office (PMO) as well as military leaders for impeding inquiries into the terrorist attack by Hamas on October 7 last year.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Englman said not one leader had taken responsibility for the lapse in preparation that allowed Hamas to mount a deadly attack which has prompted a near year-long war.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“In Israel, as of September 2024, there is no one who has taken personal responsibility with action alongside it, not at the political level, not at the security and military level, and not at the civilian level,” the state comptroller said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“There has not been a single person among the elected officials, bearers of public office, military leaders and the security establishment, who has met the proper standard and the expected time when it comes to upholding the value of bearing responsibility,” he added.</p>

<p>Englman was particularly severe on the defence establishment for attempting to stop his review of the military's actions before October 7. He said the defence officials were building "high and&nbsp;impassable walls which have led to the stymying of the review".&nbsp;</p>

<p>"The Prime Minister’s Office, for its part — even though it has provided material — is still putting up obstacles which are hindering and disrupting the required professional activities," he added, questioning the PMO.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“All of them, at different levels of severity, do not convey the public and principled resilience expected of them, which at its foundation is a readiness [to accept] real criticism, without limitation, even if the results are biting and tough.”</p>

<p>Englman's statement comes a day after Netanyahu nearly 'torpedoed' the hostage-truce talks, according to a <em>CNN </em>report, after a public address where he refused to budge on his position on the stationing of the troops.&nbsp;</p>

India's leading industrialist and former lawmaker, Dr Subhash Chandra, who is also the chairman emeritus of Zee Entertainment Enterprises, has levelled serious charges against Madhabi Puri Buch--the chairperson of the securities and exchange board. He stated that under her stewardship, SEBI had not been acting in the interest of investors of Zee Entertainment. Referring to the recent efforts towards a Zee Sony merger, the former Rajya Sabha member said the merger had been progressing well getting even the SEBI's approval. But despite this, SEBI instructed BSE and NSE to intervene in NCLT proceedings and scuttle the merger, thereby spooking Sony. Chandra said ultimately Sony terminated the merger which resulted in huge erosion of wealth of the minority shareholders..
