Antony Blinken, the US secretary of state, said Tuesday that Israel had "real opportunities" to strengthen ties with Arab nations, as he sought to calm regional violence arising from the Israel-Hamas war and encourage Israel to alleviate Palestinian suffering in order to improve relations with its West Asian neighbours. Blinken's comments, in meetings with Israeli officials on Tuesday in Tel Aviv, were a reference to his earlier assertion that Saudi Arabia and other countries remained interested in eventually building normal diplomatic relations with Israel. from World News Headlines, Latest International News, World Breaking News - Times of India https://ift.tt/IRSpwGy

Federal investigators say a door panel slid up before flying off an Alaska Airlines jetliner last week, and they are looking at whether four bolts that were supposed to help hold the panel in place might have been missing when the plane took off. The comments on Monday from the National Transportation Safety Board came shortly after Alaska and United Airlines reported separately that they found loose parts in the panels - or door plugs - of some other Boeing 737 Max 9 jets. from World News Headlines, Latest International News, World Breaking News - Times of India https://ift.tt/xbaFJvq

Astronauts will have to wait until next year before flying to the moon and another few years before landing on it, under latest round of delays announced by Nasa on Tuesday. The space agency had planned to send four astronauts around the moon late this year, but pushed the flight to September 2025 because of technical issues. First human moon landing in more than 50 years also got bumped, from 2025 to 2026. The news came barely an hour after a Pittsburgh company abandoned its own attempt to land its spacecraft on the moon because of a mission-ending fuel leak. from World News Headlines, Latest International News, World Breaking News - Times of India https://ift.tt/xeW8bpY

The first US lunar lander in more than 50 years rocketed to space gave up its hopes on Moon landing after the lander faced a "critical" fuel leak on Tuesday.

The robotic lander, Peregrine, built by a private company Astrobotic had been facing several technical problems since its launch Monday. from World News Headlines, Latest International News, World Breaking News - Times of India https://ift.tt/PI0GsLj
