          INDIA EVACUATE ITS NATIONALS          India's decision to evacuate its nationals from Israel in April 2024 was a direct response to the **unprecedented escalation in tensions between Israel and Iran**, specifically Iran's first-ever direct missile and drone attack on Israeli territory on April 13-14, 2024.

The fear of further, potentially larger-scale retaliatory strikes by Israel created an ...

               TIKTOK BAN 1.  The Original Threat :           Former President Donald Trump issued executive orders in August 2020 declaring TikTok (owned by Chinese company ByteDance) a national security threat. He ordered it banned from US app stores unless it was sold to American owners by specific deadlines (initially mid-September, then mid-November). NEWSBURNER360 2.  The Proposed "Deal" :  To avoid the ban, ByteDance negotiated a complex arrangement:     *   **Oracle** (          database company) would become TikTok's "trusted technology provider," handling US user data and security.     *   **Walmart**           (retail giant) would take a significant commercial stake and handle e-commerce integration.     *   A new US-headquartered company called **"TikTok Global"** would be formed to ove...
