In a move denounced by Israel as a "reward" for Hamas, Spain and Norway moved to formally recognise a Palestinian state with Ireland to follow suit on Tuesday. The three European nations think that their move has a powerful symbolic impact and will probably inspire other governments to take similar action.

In a move denounced by Israel as a "reward" for Hamas, Spain and Norway moved to formally recognise a Palestinian state with Ireland to follow suit on Tuesday. The three European nations think that their move has a powerful symbolic impact and will probably inspire other governments to take similar action. On the other hand, Denmark's parliament voted down a bill to recognise a Palestinian state on Tuesday Before calling a cabinet meeting, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez stated, "Recognition of the State of Palestine is not only a matter of historic justice... It is also an essential requirement if we are all to achieve peace." The action was "not against anyone, least of all Israel," Sanchez added. "It is the only way to move towards the solution that we all recognise as the only possible way to achieve a peaceful future -- that of a Palestinian state living side-by-side with the state of Israel in peace and security," Sanchez added. Furthermore, according to Sanchez, the decision was a reflection of Spain's "outright rejection of Hamas, which is against the two-state solution" and whose actions on October 7 sparked the Gaza War. Last week, the three countries' prime ministers made a synchronised declaration outlining their objectives. Also read: Israel-Hamas war LIVE: IDF tanks reach central Rafah as 1mn people flee Gaza city Irish Prime Minister Simon Harris said that it was "an important moment." He said that it sends "a signal to the world is that there are practical actions you can take as a country to help keep the hope... of a two-state solution alive." How did Israel react to this decision? Israel has reacted sharply to the decision, which has further strained its relations with Spain. Yolanda Diaz, Sanchez's far-left deputy, applauded the action last week, adding, "We cannot stop." Israel's envoy in Madrid blasted the statement as a "clear call for the elimination of Israel" and declared that "Palestine will be free from the river to the sea." "Sanchez, as long as you don't fire your deputy and you recognise a Palestinian state, you are participating in the incitement to commit genocide and war crimes against the Jewish people," Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz wrote on X on Tuesday. Where does the European Union stand? Recognising Palestinian statehood has sparked a heated debate between the European Union's 27 member nations. Formal Palestinian state recognition has long been viewed as the final stage of Israeli-Palestinian peace negotiations. Following Tuesday, 145 of the 193 members of the UN officially acknowledged Palestinian statehood. The first EU member to recognise a state for Palestine was Sweden in 2014. Afterward, six other European nations, Bulgaria, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, and Romania made the same move. (With inputs from agencies)

United States President Joe Biden’s absence from the upcoming Ukraine peace summit in Switzerland would be like giving Russian leader Vladimir Putin a standing ovation, said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, on Tuesday (May 28).&nbsp;

<h2>Will Biden attend the Ukraine peace summit?</h2>

“If he is not present, it will be just like applauding Putin: personally applauding and doing so standing,” said Zelensky in Brussels during a joint press conference with Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Croo.

“I believe that the Peace Summit needs President Biden, and other leaders who are looking at the US response also need him,” he added. The Ukrainian president also noted that we know that Washington supports the summit, but “we don’t know at what level”.&nbsp;

Zelensky said that dozens of world leaders will attend the summit. Biden has yet to confirm whether or not he will attend the conference in the Swiss city of Lucerne on June 15 and 16.&nbsp;

“If you want peace, you will be there and you will speak, even if you don’t agree with something,” said the Ukrainian president.&nbsp;

On Sunday (May 26), Zelensky had urged Biden and Chinese leader Xi Jinping, Putin’s close ally, to join the upcoming peace summit.&nbsp;

<h2>Zelensky rules out Russia’s participation</h2>

The Ukrainian president reiterated that Russia will not participate in the summit and accused Putin of trying to derail the conference.&nbsp;

“Putin is very scared of the peace summit,” said Zelensky, adding that he has been “trying to thwart this summit and continues to do so.”

The Kremlin is also “doing everything” for “further expansion of the war,” said the Ukrainian president.&nbsp;

The Kremlin, on Tuesday, slammed the upcoming summit and called it “absurd” because Russia has not been invited.

“The conference is, from our point of view, completely hopeless in terms of finding some ways to resolve the conflict around Ukraine,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told state television channel RT, adding that “to seriously talk about these questions without the participation of our country is absurd.”

In a groundbreaking initiative, the Indian embassy in Oman, in collaboration with the National Archives of India (NAI), has successfully concluded a pioneering project to digitise and archive historical documents of the Indian diaspora in Oman.

In a groundbreaking initiative, the Indian embassy in Oman, in collaboration with the National Archives of India (NAI), has successfully concluded a pioneering project to digitise and archive historical documents of the Indian diaspora in Oman. This remarkable project marks the first overseas endeavour by the NAI to preserve diaspora heritage. The project, titled "The Oman Collection – Archival Heritage of the Indian Community in Oman," saw enthusiastic participation from 32 prominent Indian families, mainly from Gujarat, whose roots in Oman trace back over 250 years. Over 7,000 documents in English, Arabic, Gujarati, and Hindi from these families' private collections have been meticulously scanned and digitised. These documents, dating from 1838 to the early 20th century, include personal diaries, account books, trade invoices, passports, letters, and photographs. They paint a vivid picture of the Indian community's life in Oman, showcasing their cultural practices, social activities, and contributions to Omani society. Indian ambassador to Oman, Amit Narang, emphasised the project's alignment with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of strengthening diaspora connections. "By documenting the history of the Indian community in Oman, we are rekindling our shared heritage and fostering deeper engagement," he stated. Arun Singhal, Director General of the NAI, hailed the project as a historic milestone. "This marks the first time we have digitised diaspora documents from abroad, preserving the rich heritage and narratives of the overseas Indian community," he said. Watch: Climate change caused deluge in UAE-Oman × The oldest digitised document dates back to 1838, offering a fascinating glimpse into the lives of early Indian settlers in Oman. These records, which will be available on NAI’s digital portal ‘Abhilekh Patal’, provide invaluable insights for researchers and the general public, shedding light on the Indian diaspora's historical journey to the West Asian country. Additionally, the project recorded oral histories from older community members, capturing personal anecdotes and migration stories that enrich the archival records. This is the first such oral history initiative by the NAI, adding a deeply personal dimension to the documented history. This initiative is a significant step in safeguarding the rich historical and cultural narratives of the Indian community abroad. Today, nearly 700,000 Indians call Oman home. Indian merchant families from regions like Mandvi and Surat have been integral to Omani society since the late 18th century, contributing to the social and economic fabric of cities such as Sur, Muttrah, and Muscat.

Divers are combing the water while a specially trained dog sniffs for traces of blood. Authorities are concerned about the well-being of both the mother and child.

Police immediately secured the scene and conducted tests, confirming the organs were human. This grim discovery has sparked a search for the mother and newborn baby, with authorities expressing serious concerns for their health.

Superintendent Christine McDonald said lights had been brought in to allow the launch of a large-scale search on Monday night. However, the search resumed on Tuesday (May 28) morning with police divers searching the mangroves and the water’s edge.

Superintendent informed that it would take some time to work through the scene as it is muddy down there. 
 
A dog who was especially trained to detect the blood also arrived on the scene on Tuesday morning after police secured the area for further forensic examination.

“Our search will identify what has happened here, whether the delivery of that child occurred at this location or another location is yet to be determined,” McDonald said. “I ask anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers.”

“It’s very important and it’s extreme urgency we find the mother and the child as soon as we can. We ask she goes to a hospital. We will be contacting hospitals,” he added further.

This additional information could prove crucial in locating the mother and child.

The New South Wales health minister, Ryan Park, said, “My heart absolutely goes out to the mother and child, and repeated the advice from police – that she should attend a hospital.”
