Asaduddin Owaisi urges PM Modi to ensure India doesn't join countries complicit in Israel's "crimes" against Palestinians in Gaza, accusing Israel of committing genocide. Owaisi states India has always supported Palestine and opposed Israeli apartheid. He emphasizes the need for decisive action against genocide.
Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi has urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to ensure that India does not join countries that are complicit in Israel's "crimes" against Palestinians in Gaza. In a recent post, Owaisi accused Israel of committing "genocide" against Palestinians in Gaza and called for decisive action against such atrocities [1].
Owaisi's statement comes amidst growing international condemnation of Israel's actions in Gaza. Twenty-eight countries, including Britain, Japan, and several European nations, have issued a joint statement calling for an immediate ceasefire and condemning the deaths of over 800 Palestinians who were seeking aid [2]. The countries have also criticized Israel's aid delivery model, accusing it of fueling instability and depriving Gazans of human dignity.
However, Israel and the United States have rejected the criticism, with Israel's Foreign Ministry accusing Hamas of prolonging the war and the US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee calling the statement "disgusting" [2]. The conflict has resulted in a catastrophic humanitarian crisis in Gaza, with over 90% of the population displaced and the territory on the brink of famine [2].
India has traditionally maintained a neutral stance on the Israel-Palestine conflict. However, Owaisi's statement reflects a growing sentiment among some Indian politicians and the public that India should take a more active role in advocating for Palestinian rights. The Indian government has not yet responded to Owaisi's call.
The conflict has significant implications for the global economy, with disruptions to trade routes and potential impacts on energy supplies. As the situation in Gaza continues to deteriorate, the international community will need to take decisive action to bring an end to the conflict and address the humanitarian crisis.
