Common man lives unique life

The common man seems to have been a bit more confused as to what they should actually follow. Whether they should use a little less cooking oil or burn traditional diyas for the family's good.  Many people could deny that they are just consuming less mustard oil and avoid making a fast shift to other packaged soybean oil in their everyday lives.  Therefore, consumption of usual cooking oil has already been reduced to a more considerable extent. Then, an appeal for a ten per cent reduction seems to have no impact at such a tender moment.  As regards burning a diya for at least two long hours, it is quite difficult in today's inflationary period. The small houses appear inconvenient for burning diyas in the intensely humid air.  What bothers the residents most is the smoke, soot and agonising smell that could force the households to remain farther from the house precincts. In some cases, dwellers leave the house to avoid intense smoke.  

Gaza peace plan hangs in balance



The present yellow line has emerged as the most effective factor in the peace plan with Gaza and Israel. What type of peace plan is it when there has been variance among all the parties? They appeared to be thinking very differently. This is evident by the trend. 

Trump has his own plan to stress, but Israel negated approval of the deal unless every one of its states is wholly secured. 

No exit whatsoever of the Israeli military from the present yellow line will be initiated unless Hamas undergoes demilitarisation with frankness.

In the meantime, Israel's media reported that the pact did not meet the country's demands, with ministers and opposition politicians distancing themselves from the plan.

Israel's far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir was fiercely critical of the peace plan. Opposition politician Gadi Eisenkot voiced that any agreement that did not destroy Hamas’s military and political power would be a complete blow. 

Nearly three weeks of discussions and cautious work by arbitrators seem to fetch no certainty about a current accord. 

Now, the whole focus shifts to a coming Cairo meeting to bring together representatives of Hamas, allied Palestinian factions and mediators from Egypt, Qatar, the US and Turkey to formally back the deal, as was first reported.

Though Donald Trump described the deal as a huge step, there was positivity in the Middle East as Saudi Arabia hailed it as a major milestone. 

Hamas said it duly agreed to demilitarise as long as Israel exits from Gaza. An Israeli side said that "there will be no withdrawal whatsoever of the Israeli military from the current yellow line.
