Israel-Hamas War: How is It Affecting Global Oil Prices?

After a week in Israel, we are back in India. It has been quite a week with the escalating war and intensifying politics. We appreciate all your messages and thank you for following the developments in West Asia through our updates. We will continue to keep you informed and analyze the events and statements.

There was a possibility of a ceasefire and the fighting being slowed down to allow Gazans to cross into Egypt. However, this did not happen. Israel insists on the evacuation, Hamas is stopping Gazan civilians from leaving, and Egypt is not allowing them to enter.

Now, let's look at the status on the northern front. Is Hezbollah joining this war? How much firepower has the US deployed in support of Israel? We will examine the American military assets in the region. Additionally, Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin will be meeting in a few hours.

We will discuss where they stand on the Israel-Hamas war, who they support, and India's position on the matter. We will also revisit the debate on who is considered a terrorist and emphasize that there should be no doubt that Hamas is a terrorist group. Lastly, we will explore the wider fallout of this war and the surge in hate crimes worldwide.
