Former Diplomat Rahman
Former Indian diplomat Zikrur Rehman says that the future of relations between India and Saudi Arabia is “very bright” as both the countries are working sincerely and seriously with better coordination.

Closeness comes through culture

Extreme right-wing elements do not want peace in Israel-Palestine
The former diplomat said on the Israel-Palestine conflict that if you look at the history between the Palestinians and Israel, you will find that whenever both sides get very close to finding a solution with each other, something happens that is extreme. Right wing parties try to sabotage. All these things are happening only because of extreme right wing organizations. Because they are not interested in finding solution to any issue. This is why it has been left to boil for the last 75 years. This has nothing to do with Islam. Palestinians are Jews who live in Palestine, who do not move to Israel. One of them, a Jew, is a member of the Palestinian Parliament and does not want to go to Israel. (ANI)
