Quick Glance: Israel artist calls for Gaza ceasefire

The representative of Israel at the international art fair is calling for an immediate ceasefire in Israel’s war on Gaza.

Ruth Patir’s video installation called (M)otherland was scheduled to open on Saturday at Israel’s national pavilion at the international art show but will remain closed for now.

Patir stated on her website that the artist and curators are showing solidarity with the families of the hostages and the large community in Israel calling for change, rather than canceling themselves or the exhibition.

It is believed that there are still individuals in Gaza, including 129 captives taken during the attacks led by Hamas on Israel on October 7, with 34 of them presumed dead.

U.N. Commission Says Israel Still Has Not Provided Evidence of Oct. 7 Allegations Against UNRWA

democracynow.org/2024/4/23/headlines/un_commission_says_israel_still_has_not_provided_evidence_of_oct_7_allegations_against_unrwa

Quick Glance: UNRWA Report Highlights Lack of Evidence for Israel's Employee Militancy Claims

An independent review commissioned by the United Nations found that Israel has not provided evidence to support its accusation that a 'significant' number of employees of the U.N. relief agency for Palestinian refugees in the Gaza Strip are members of terrorist organizations.

The review, led by former French foreign minister Catherine Colonna, revealed that UNRWA 'plays an indispensable and irreplaceable role in the region,' despite issues such as employees expressing political views and offices being used for 'political or military purposes'.

The review listed recommendations to enhance UNRWA operations, including improved training, more rigorous employee screening, and a thorough review of all textbooks and supplements.

Concerns were raised regarding the screening of UNRWA employees and the content of textbooks, while Israel has yet to provide evidence to support the claim that a significant number of UNRWA employees are members of terrorist organizations.

Iran-Israel war: India 'seriously concerned'. Will it impact crude oil prices? All eyes on markets

hindustantimes.com/india-news/iranisrael-conflict-war-india-seriously-concerned-will-it-impact-crude-oil-prices-101713094783209.html

Quick Glance: Oil Prices Could Witness a 'Super Spike Well Above $100' Post Iran's Strike on Israel

Market analysts predicted that oil prices could surge to $100 per barrel and beyond after Iran conducted an aerial attack on Israel, reigniting concerns of a regional war.

Iran carried out an aerial attack on Israel on Saturday night, launching over 300 drones and missiles, marking the first direct military attack by Iran on the Jewish state.

Insufficient investment renders the supply more fragile, raising the likelihood of a 'super spike well above $100' if the supply is disrupted.

Recent months have seen oil prices rise due to trade disruptions and delays caused by maritime attacks in the Red Sea by the Houthis, who express solidarity with the Palestinian people.

Quick Glance: India's Abstention in UNHRC Vote on Gaza Ceasefire and Israel Arms Embargo

India chose to abstain from voting on a United Nations Human Rights Council resolution demanding an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and urging member states to impose an arms embargo on Israel.

The resolution was passed by the 47-member Council with 28 in favor, six against, and 13 abstentions. Alongside India, France, Japan, the Netherlands, and Romania also abstained.

India did, however, support three other resolutions that criticized Israel for human rights violations against Palestinians, endorsed Palestinian self-determination, and condemned Israel's occupation of the Syrian Golan Heights.

The resolution called for Israel to lift its illegal blockade on Gaza, condemned actions potentially constituting ethnic cleansing, and addressed the starvation of civilians caused by Israeli forces.

Quick Glance: Historic Event: Fusion of Science and Celebration at Ram Lalla's Surya Tilak

The Surya Tilak ceremony for Ram Lalla at Ayodhya's Ram Mandir was a remarkable event that signified a significant turn after 500 years. Followers gathered to witness the event on the auspicious day of Ram Navami as the temple doors opened early in the morning. The Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust extended the darshan period, stressing that no special arrangements were made for the day.

During the Surya Abhishek or Surya Tilak ceremony, the sun's rays delicately touched the forehead of Ram Lalla. This remarkable occurrence was enabled by a sophisticated mechanism involving mirrors and lenses, symbolizing deep reverence. Developed by researchers from IIT-Roorkee, the device precisely directed sunlight onto the deity at noon, showcasing precision and devotion.

At the Ram Navami festival, followers could engage in darshan from the early hours of the morning, commencing with the Shringaar Aarti of Ram Lalla at 5 a.m. Offerings were presented at the temple exit after the Shayan Aarti. Emphasis was placed on securely storing belongings outside the temple premises to facilitate the darshan process.

Ram Janmabhoomi is celebrating a grand event for the second time after the pran pratishtha ceremony. Ram Navami is being celebrated with grandeur at Ram Mandir, featuring offerings of 56 types of bhog, prasad, and panjiri. Chief priest Acharya Satyendra Das affirmed that all arrangements for the celebration are overseen by the Trust, with Ram Navami being joyously commemorated.
