PM Modi Congratulates Netanyahu On Gaza Ceasefire Deal; Israeli PM ‘Pauses’ Security Meet For Call

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday spoke to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and congratulated him on the agreement to the Gaza ceasefire plan that would pause the three-year-old war between Israel and Hamas that has killed over 67,000 Palestinians in Gaza.  "Called my friend, Prime Minister Netanyahu, to congratulate him on the progress made under President Trump’s Gaza peace plan. We welcome the agreement on the release of hostages and enhanced humanitarian assistance to the people of Gaza. Reaffirmed that terrorism in any form or manifestation is unacceptable anywhere in the world," Modi said in a post on X.  Benjamin Netanyahu paused a security cabinet meeting discussing the Gaza ceasefire and hostage-release deal to speak over the phone with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Israeli media reported. Meanwhile, the Office of Israel's Prime Minister stated that PM Modi conveyed his congratulations to Prime Minister Netanyahu on the agreement achieved for the release of all of the hostages. "The Indian PM remarked that PM Netanyahu has always been a close friend, and that the friendship between them will remain steadfast. The Prime Minister thanked the Indian PM for his support for the State of Israel, and the two agreed to continue working in close cooperation," it added. Modi-Trump Call The phone call between Modi and Netanyahu follows the Prime Minister's conversation with US President Donald Trump, during which he praised the successful agreement on the first phase of the West Asia peace plan.  The telephonic conversation, which also covered the ongoing India–US trade negotiations, comes at a time when bilateral ties have faced strains following recent US tariffs on Indian goods. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), PM Modi wrote: “Spoke to my friend, President Trump and congratulated him on the success of the historic Gaza peace plan. Also reviewed the good progress achieved in trade negotiations. Agreed to stay in close touch over the coming weeks.” Modi Welcomes Gaza Agreement Earlier in the day, the Prime Minister publicly welcomed the deal, which includes a ceasefire and the release of hostages. He hailed it as a step towards peace and stability in the region. “We welcome the agreement on the first phase of President Trump’s peace plan. This is also a reflection of the strong leadership of PM Netanyahu,” Modi said in another post. Expressing hope that the development would ease humanitarian suffering, he added: “We hope the release of hostages and enhanced humanitarian assistance to the people of Gaza will bring respite to them and pave the way for lasting peace.”

Shiba Inu (SHIB) and Dogecoin (DOGE) Holders Diversify Into Little Pepe (LILPEPE) Ahead of 10,634% Bullish Climb

With both Shiba Inu (SHIB) and Dogecoin (DOGE) struggling with their success in continuing high growth, such a trend is shifting to Little Pepe (LILPEPE), an emerging meme coin showing amazing returns. DOGE and SHIB holders are diversifying their portfolios into Little Pepe, with a potential price increase of 10,634% as they look to get better returns as they abandon the underperforming performance of the old meme tokens. Why Dogecoin and Shiba Inu Investors Are Eyeing Little Pepe Dogecoin and Shiba Inu investors have been experiencing declining returns as the two tokens hit increasing market caps. DOGE and SHIB are still popular but their growth has been slower in recent months, and these meme coins have larger market caps, which makes them less likely to generate explosive returns. Little Pepe, on the contrary, is still in its infancy and is proving as a powerful player in the meme coin sector with a huge growth potential. The LILPEPE presale has already surpassed $26.67 million in funds and the price of the coin keeps increasing in each stage. Little Pepe is currently trading at $0.0022 and will be traded at $0.0023 in the next round, giving investors a chance to earn tokens at a reduced price before it becomes higher. According to investors, the meme coin can grow enormously, and it is estimated to grow by 10,634%. The presale is attracting both DOGE and SHIB holders who are looking for the next big thing in the meme coin market. Little Pepe’s Presale Success and Attractive Features The LILPEPE presale has been a major success. In Stage 13, 16,278,911,061 out of 17,250,000,000 tokens have been sold, representing 94.37% of the stage allocation. So far, the presale has raised $26,638,607 out of a $28,775,000 target, leaving 971,088,939 tokens remaining in this stage. The current price of LILPEPE is $0.0022, which is 120% higher than the Stage 1 price of $0.0010, and it is set to increase to $0.0023 in the next stage, reflecting strong demand as the presale approaches its final phases. In addition to the remarkable fundraise of the presale, Little Pepe provides a number of features that set it apart compared to older meme coins. The token is developed as a Layer 2 Ethereum-compatible blockchain, where transactions are faster and fee-reduced, which are important benefits that will be attractive to investors who are fed up with the slowness and high cost of Ethereum. Moreover, Little Pepe has zero trading tax, safeguarding against sniper bots, and staking rewards. These technical attributes, together with the meme culture of the token, give it a more innovative option over traditional meme coins such as DOGE and SHIB. However, there are also various reward programs in Little Pepe presale. It has a current giveaway of $777,000 where 10 winning people will be rewarded with $77,000 worth of tokens each. Moreover, there is the so-called Mega Giveaway, which guarantees 15+ ETH prize to large buyers from 12 stages 17. These activities have contributed to the development of momentum in the token, making the latter an appealing investment amongst the early adopters and new investors. The Layer 2 Blockchain Advantage The Layer 2 blockchain used by Little Pepe has a number of benefits compared to more traditional meme tokens. Layer 2 solutions are intended to improve scalability, meaning that transactions are managed off-network to the main Ethereum chain and thus faster and less expensive. The need to deliver scalable and cost-effective options is becoming more so as more users join the crypto sector. The Ethereum-based Layer 2 solution by Little Pepe takes those concerns into account and preconditions a broad use of the token. Little Pepe also comes with key features that set it apart from typical meme coins, including fast transactions with low fees, zero-tax trading, sniper bot protection for fair launches, staking rewards for long-term holders, DAO governance, an NFT marketplace, and a dedicated meme launchpad. With 100 billion tokens in total, Little Pepe has strategically planned its presale, to reach the balance between scarcity and availability. The project has already issued more than $26 billion tokens that were already issued, and additional tokens will be issued in subsequent phases. As the token price grows during the presale phases, early investors will realize good returns as the project gains momentum. Conclusion With Dogecoin and Shiba Inu struggling to grow, Little Pepe (LILPEPE) is becoming the new focus of investors seeking the next big meme coin. Little Pepe offers an interesting alternative to meme coin diversification with its rapid, low-cost blockchain (Layer 2), zero-tax exchange, and thrilling presale rewards. With the presale almost approaching the end and the price still increasing, investors are looking forward to the possibility of Little Pepe raising its price by 10,634% and laying the groundwork of a monumental growth within the next several months.

PM Modi Flags Khalistani Extremism To UK's Keir Starmer: 'No Space For Radicalism In Democracies'

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday pressed his British counterpart Keir Starmer on the issue of Khalistani extremism during their official meeting, stressing that radical elements must not be allowed to exploit democratic freedoms. The discussion, which formed a significant part of the bilateral talks held at Raj Bhavan in Mumbai, saw PM Modi unequivocally state that “radicalism and violent extremism had no space in democratic societies.” Addressing a special briefing on the UK Prime Minister’s two-day visit, Foreign Secretary Misri confirmed that the matter was raised. He quoted the Prime Minister as emphasising that such elements “should not be allowed to use or abuse the freedoms provided by societies, and there was a need to move against them in the legal framework available on both sides.” The leaders of the two nations strongly condemned terrorism and violent extremism in all their forms and manifestations, as noted in a joint statement released after their discussions. They called for a “zero tolerance” approach to terrorism and stressed the need for concerted international efforts to combat it comprehensively, in accordance with the UN Charter and international law. The Prime Ministers agreed to step up cooperation in several key areas, such as countering radicalisation and violent extremism, tackling the financing of terrorism and cross-border movement of terrorists, preventing the exploitation of new technologies for terrorist purposes, and strengthening bilateral and multilateral cooperation, including at the UN and the Financial Action Task Force (FATF). The joint statement also included a strong condemnation of the April 2025 terrorist attack that took place in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir. The leaders committed to taking “decisive and concerted actions against globally proscribed terrorists, terror entities and their sponsors.” The Prime Minister also extended his condolences to the victims of the recent terror incident in Manchester earlier this month, where a car was driven into members of the public, resulting in two fatalities, Misri added. Largest Ever UK Business Delegation Accompanying Starmer PM Starmer’s visit to India was accompanied by a high-powered and historically large delegation, underscoring the focus on economic ties. Foreign Secretary Misri revealed that the UK PM was accompanied by “the largest ever business delegation visiting India,” which included a 125-strong business contingent. Notably, the delegation comprised the Vice-Chancellors of nine major UK universities, “all of which have plans for India.” During his engagements, PM Starmer interacted with Indian business leaders and participated in various events, including a visit to Yash Raj Films to explore collaboration in film production and a football-related event. Earlier today, both Prime Ministers interacted with the visiting Vice-Chancellors from the UK universities. Economic engagement and innovation were key pillars of the discussions, with the leaders addressing both the India-UK CEO Forum and the Global Fintech Fest on Thursday. Misri updated reporters on the status of the Free Trade Agreement (FTA) between the two nations, which is currently “undergoing the process of ratification in both countries.” He noted that the current visit provided both sides with an opportunity to discuss “deepening economic engagement in order to derive the full benefits from tariff reduction under the FTA.” Furthermore, the UK Secretary of Business and Trade and the Indian Commerce and Industries Minister reviewed trade and investments. The leaders also announced new joint investments aimed at boosting the climate technology start-up fund, which the Foreign Secretary said “will also help the FTA chapter on innovation.” Technology and innovation, he added, were the “second pillar in focus during the ongoing visit.”

Beyond The Screen: Finding Real Connection On World Mental Health Day 2025

In today’s digital age, being “connected” online often masks a deeper sense of disconnection. Do not be fooled by the hype over social media presence. Social media promises friendship and belonging, yet mental health experts will share the truth that now many young adults feel lonelier than ever before.  “Social media promises connection, but often delivers an illusion of belonging that leaves us more isolated than ever, particularly among youth,” notes an expert from Hindustan Institute of Technology and Science. Platforms like Instagram and TikTok encourage comparisons to curated highlight reels, fostering feelings of inadequacy and envy. Dr. Tosendra Dwivedi, Professor of Psychology at Alliance University, points out that this digital pressure is taking a toll on mental health: “For students and young working adults, platforms promise connection but often deliver superficial interaction and pressure to perform. As of 2025, research highlights that excessive screen time exacerbates anxiety, depression, and burnout.”  Yet there is hope: stepping away from screens, even briefly, can restore focus, improve sleep, and foster genuine connection. Simple strategies, tech-free zones, monitoring screen time, and replacing scrolling with offline hobbies, can make a meaningful difference. While social media can offer comfort and support, “…the very nature of these interactions is frequently shallow and short, lived, relying on likes, comments, and fleeting approval as substitutes for meaningful social bonds,” Dr. Dwivedi adds.  Constant exposure to idealised lives fuels FOMO (fear of missing out) and ongoing comparison, leaving many feeling inadequate despite appearing digitally active. The solution lies in intentional engagement: not quitting social media, but using it with purpose rather than for validation. Dr Vishal Ghule, Psychologist and Dean at MIT WPU Pune, explains the deeper existential side of the digital disconnect: “Social media gives the illusion of belongingness by fake likes, follows, and instant feedback… yet often leaves individuals feeling emptier and more unseen. The crisis is not of connection, but of meaning.”  When online interaction replaces purpose, he says, “Attention spans shrink, empathy erodes, and authentic communication fades. We scroll endlessly, not to connect, but to escape the discomfort of aloneness.” Mindful use, he emphasises, can transform digital spaces into platforms for genuine dialogue, support, and awareness.Dr Raul V. Rodriguez, Vice President of Woxsen University, highlights the psychological mechanics behind this loneliness: “Platforms like Instagram, X, and TikTok are architected not for connection but for engagement metrics… Each like or share triggers a micro-dose of dopamine, rewarding us for superficial interactions and slowly rewiring our emotional expectations.”  Over time, these patterns reduce patience, depth, and empathy, creating echo chambers that feel intimate but isolate us from reality.World Mental Health Day is a reminder that digital hygiene matters as much as physical or emotional self-care. “Logging off is no longer escapism, it is resistance,” Dr Rodriguez emphasises.  Educational institutions, families, and communities can support this by promoting workshops, peer support groups, and in-person experiences that reinforce real-world relationships. 5 Simple Ways to Reclaim Real Connection Create Tech-Free Zones: Designate spaces like bedrooms, dining areas, or study corners as screen-free area. This helps improve sleep, encourages mindful conversation, and reduces digital fatigue. Set Screen Time Limits: Use built-in device settings to monitor app usage. Replace some scrolling time with offline hobbies or activities that bring joy and focus. Prioritise Face-to-Face Interaction: Make time for in-person meetups, group walks, or casual chats with friends and family. Authentic connection happens when you’re fully present. Mindful Digital Engagement: Ask yourself why you’re logging in: Is it to escape, to seek validation, or to genuinely connect? Focus on meaningful interactions rather than likes or comments. Try a Short Digital Detox: Even a one-day detox, removing non-essential apps or notifications, can reset attention, improve mood, and help you reconnect with your own thoughts and feelings. Remember that ultimately, meaningful connection is measured not in likes or followers, but in relationships rooted in presence, vulnerability, and authenticity. In a culture dominated by curated images and constant alerts, stepping back from screens is an act of self-care, a deliberate move toward real belonging, mental clarity, and emotional well-being.

Dogecoin (DOGE) To Struggle Breaking 2021 Highs As This Cheap Crypto Sees High Investor Interest

Dogecoin (DOGE) has faltered in recapturing its 2021 peak, even as crypto prices fluctuate amid broader market jitters. Analysts note that without Elon Musk's endorsements, the meme coin's volatility has dulled, leaving it pinned below $0.23 resistance on crypto charts. Support lingers near $0.13, yet Dogecoin's massive market cap now hampers sharp rebounds.  Consequently, investors eye alternatives where crypto investments promise steadier gains. Meanwhile, Mutuum Finance (MUTM) draws fervent backing, raising $17,050,000 since presale inception and amassing 16,830 holders. This cheap crypto surges in appeal, offering tangible DeFi utility that Dogecoin lacks.  As why crypto is down weighs on legacy tokens, fresh projects like MUTM spotlight resilient paths forward. Furthermore, crypto predictions favor protocols blending security with yield, positioning MUTM as a prudent pick amid Dogecoin's impasse. Dogecoin's Persistent Hurdles Dogecoin has continued to struggle in reclaiming 2021 highs since losing momentum after Musk tweets. At one time their stamp of approval would arouse dramatic spikes but academic studies have shown that they only exaggerated transient effects. Now, there are no such catalysts and the token stagnates, as today's crypto prices show.  Moreover, a substantial capitalization hicks the agility and puts Dogecoin into a crowded arena against nimble competitors. The resistance is now at $0.23 and the support is now at $0.13 which gets hardly any support on dips.  Consequently, why crypto is down hits Dogecoin hardest, eroding trader confidence. In addition, crypto fear and greed index readings hover low, signaling caution for such mature assets. Thus, Dogecoin's legacy binds it, dimming prospects for explosive recovery. Mutuum Finance Presale Accelerates Mutuum Finance (MUTM) has surged through its presale, entering Phase 6 of 11 stages with 60% allocation filled rapidly. Investors snap up tokens at $0.035 each, a 250% rise from the opening phase's $0.01 entry. Phase 6 proceeds swiftly, narrowing windows for this cheap crypto acquisition. Soon, Phase 7 unlocks at $0.04, marking a 14.3% hike. Launch arrives at $0.06, yielding current buyers a projected 371% return post-deployment. Furthermore, crypto investments in MUTM thrive on its DeFi backbone, enabling yield on idle holdings.  Holders now total 16,830, reflecting robust crypto investing appetite. Additionally, the team has unveiled a dashboard tracking top 50 holders, rewarding sustained rankings with bonus tokens. Mutuum Protocol Developments Unfold Mutuum Finance has announced its lending and borrowing protocol, targeting V1 rollout on Sepolia Testnet in Q4 2025. Core elements include liquidity pools, mtTokens for deposits, debt tokens for loans, and liquidator bots for stability. Initial support covers ETH and USDT as lend, borrow, or collateral options.  Consequently, these steps fortify trust, as crypto predictions highlight secure DeFi as key to enduring value. Furthermore, borrow interest rates adapt via utilization metrics, keeping liquidity fluid: low rates lure borrowers during abundance, while escalations spur repayments in scarcity. Stable rates option emerges for predictability, locking initial figures above variables yet subject to rebalances if gaps widen beyond 90% thresholds. Mutuum Giveaway Ignites Engagement Mutuum Finance has rolled out its largest giveaway, distributing $100,000 in MUTM tokens to 10 victors at $10,000 apiece. Participants gear up for presale festivities through straightforward entry. Eligibility demands a minimum $50 presale stake, ensuring aligned commitment. How to join unfolds simply: Submit your wallet address for seamless prize transfers, verifying secure delivery upon selection. Complete all quests diligently, boosting odds without oversight. Confirm eligibility via that $50 threshold, locking in qualification. This initiative amplifies community ties, as investing in crypto gains vibrancy through shared incentives. Moreover, overcollateralization safeguards loans, with liquidation triggers at 70% thresholds prompting swift resolutions via bonuses to liquidators. Deposit and borrow caps curb risks, tailoring limits to asset volatility on crypto charts. Cheap Crypto's Enduring Allure Dogecoin (DOGE) to struggle breaking 2021 highs persists, underscoring why crypto is down for meme relics, yet this cheap crypto's investor fervor endures. Mutuum Finance (MUTM) exemplifies that shift, channeling interest into yield-bearing tools over hype.  Crypto prices may waver, but MUTM's framework—spanning adaptive rates, audited safeguards, and community rewards—anchors long-term viability. Thus, as crypto fear and greed index ebbs, savvy placements favor utility-driven gems like MUTM.
