India’s stand
With the statement of India’s External Affairs Ministry that New Delhi stands for a ‘sovereign Palestine state’, the country’s long-standing and consistent policy on the issue remains unchanged. Eyebrows were raised after the initial statement by the Prime Minister. When India speaks about the obligation to uphold humanitarian principles, Israel is disregarding all such things and blocking almost every essential supply to the Gaza strip. Though Hamas has caused heavy damage, what Israel is doing now lacks proportionality and is aimed at total destruction.
