China offers Kazakhstan security support

 China is willing to increase "law enforcement and security" cooperation with neighboring Kazakhstan after deadly unrest sparked by a fuel price hike. China will also help Kazakhstan to oppose interference by "external forces". 

China's foreign minister Wang Yi shared the news on Monday. He made the comments in a call to Kazakhstan's foreign minister Mukhtar Tileuberdi. Wang Yi reportedly said, “Some external forces do not want peace and tranquillity in our region.” He said that Kazakhstan is still facing severe challenges. 

Protests in Kazakhstan

 The protests took place in several states in Kazakhstan because of the increase in prices for Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG). The widespread protests led the national government to resign on Wednesday. 

Government buildings in Kazakhstan were briefly captured by protestors. The outrage over LPG prices became violent. It subsequently took a wave of political anger. Troops were ordered to shoot the protestors. Clashes erupted between the protestors and the police officers. The interior ministry of Kazakhstan claimed that 95 police officers were injured in the unrest. Kazakhstan's Foreign Ministry said that peaceful protests in Kazakhstan “were hijacked by terrorist, extremist and criminal groups.”

The authorities of Kazakhstan also asked a Russian-led military bloc to send in troops to help the country. Subsequently, the Russian-led military alliance of post-Soviet states sent "peacekeeping forces" to Kazakhstan. 

Experts on China

Experts say that China worries instability in the country could threaten energy imports and Belt-and-Road projects in Kazakhstan. China also worries about the security in its western Xinjiang region as the region shares the border with Kazakhstan. The region has a population of more than 2 million Kazakh-origin people. 

China firmly opposes any force undermining Kazakhstan’s stability, threatening the country’s security, and affecting the lives of people. According to a report by Reuters, China does not want to see an expansion of United States (US) influence in Kazakhstan and Central Asia as a result of the protest.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has declared that Israel will “take control of all” of the Gaza Strip, signaling an unprecedented escalation in the ongoing conflict. In a video posted to Telegram, Netanyahu emphasized that military operations are advancing rapidly, with no intention of backing down. “The fighting is intense, and we are making progress,” he said, framing the offensive as necessary for Israel’s long-term security. But as international pressure mounts, his government is walking a tightrope between military dominance and global condemnation. The Israeli military has ordered mass evacuations in southern Gaza, warning residents of Khan Yunis and surrounding areas to flee immediately ahead of a devastating assault.
