Israel Building New Wall

  • Israel is building another wall to protect itself from its enemies. But rather than a major eyesore, much of this one will be invisible.
  • As per military officials, the army will be accelerating construction of a subterranean barrier around the Gaza Strip, designed to cut off tunnels running beneath the border into Israel like the ones Hamas militants used to ambush Israeli military posts during the summer-long war of 2014.
  • Israeli military officials are being understandably cagey about how the new underground barrier will work, other than to say it will also include an aboveground section and incorporate layers of advanced technological systems.

Xi Calls for Calm

  • Chinese President Xi Jinping made a plea for cool-headedness over escalating tensions between the U.S. and North Korea in a phone conversation with U.S. President, urging both sides to avoid words or actions that could worsen the situation.
  • Mr. Trump has pushed China to pressure North Korea to halt a nuclear weapons program that is nearing the capability of targeting the United States.
  • According to China, it alone can’t compel Pyongyang to end its nuclear and missile programs.

NATIONAL AFFAIRS

Claim on Babri Land

  • As per senior Shia cleric Maulana Kalbe Sadiq, peace in the issue of Babri Masjid must be advocated.
  • He said that if the Supreme Court's verdict is in their favour, then the Muslim community should give up their claim on the disputed land.
  • If Babri Masjid verdict is not in favour of Muslims, then they should peacefully accept it. And if the verdict is in favour of Muslims then they should happily give the land to Hindus. The issue should be dealt with respect by both the communities.
