Transcript: India and Pakistan -- what now?

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

73% : Sushant Singh To my mind, Gideon, it was extremely significant.
67% : The Indians have believed that the US has their back, and particularly with President Trump, who has been a close friend of Mr Modi.
47% : But by that afternoon, the two director-general of military operations had spoken.
44% : There are three things there which President Trump did with his Truth Social update that he announced the ceasefire.
41% : They couldn't have asked for a better thing in this bargain, the only thing better could be if President Trump continues pressing India to come to the negotiating table and start talking to Pakistan, which I think Indians will resist tooth and nail, even if President Trump were to try that.
39% : [MUSIC PLAYING] Vikram Misri voice clip The director-general of military operations of Pakistan called the director-general of military operations of India at 15:35 earlier this afternoon.
38% : Pakistanis are elated with what President Trump has said.
36% : But the fact that Trump made the announcement well before India or Pakistan did, and the fact that he continues to make this announcement that Indians have accepted the ceasefire, has damaged Mr Modi's public reputation, especially amongst his hardcore supporters.
34% : And that's something which Trump seemed to have succumbed to in that Truth Social tweet.
32% : In his update, President Trump very clearly said that I would like to resolve Kashmir and we can meet in a neutral country where all these issues can be discussed.
31% : And they've been equally disappointed that President Trump seems to have announced it well before the Indians announced it.
31% : Not just that the (inaudible) is that President Trump has called them out as, or patronisingly, (inaudible) children telling them not to fight.
28% : This is clearly something which the Indians find unacceptable and pretty embarrassing for Mr Modi and his government that President Trump even put that out publicly.
21% : Of course, President Trump, this is the only success President Trump can boast about because Ukraine is not a success for him, the ceasefire in Ukraine or a peace deal between Israel and Gaza.
18% : So just to end, I mean, I hate to sound like Donald Trump under any circumstance, but he did say, you know, these countries have been fighting each other for, I think he said centuries, but they haven't existed.
