This report details multiple current affairs. Firstly, a proposed “Board of Peace” is outlined for Gaza, envisioned to be led by Trump, which would establish a temporary transitional committee for governance. This plan suggests amnesty for Hamas members who commit to peaceful coexistence and disarm, along with safe passage for those wishing to leave. The long-term goal is the redevelopment of a “deradicalized” Gaza into “New Gaza”, following the ongoing offensive triggered by the October 7, 2023, Hamas-led attack.
Secondly, in Ladakh, the Apex Body, Leh (ABL) has discontinued talks with the Centre following violent protests, stating engagement will resume only after normalcy is restored. Lieutenant Governor of Ladakh, Kavinder Gupta, commented that police action was necessary to prevent wider unrest.
Lastly, a change in electoral procedure mandates the counting of postal ballots prior to the final tally of Electronic Voting Machine (EVM) votes, a development that is prompting discussion regarding its potential impact on future elections.
