Deviating from its longstanding foreign policy, India tacitly agreed to Israel’s aggression in Gaza. India also abstained from the resolution brought in the United Nations General Assembly demanding withdrawal from the Gaza attacks by Israel. The resolution passed with the support of 120 countries, although 14 members, including the US and Israel, voted against it. The resolution adopted at the 10th Emergency Special Session called for Israel to declare an immediate ceasefire in the region in order to deliver humanitarian aid to the destitute Palestinian people.
The resolution also demanded the protection of civilians, unconditional release of hostages by both sides, immediate delivery of fuel, electricity and medical aid to Gaza, no forced evacuation of people from northern Gaza, and no denial of access to Gaza to human rights activists. The resolution also recognized Israel’s right to self-defense. The resolution was introduced by Jordan with the support of 40 countries including Russia, South Africa, Pakistan and Bangladesh. Apart from India, countries like Germany, Japan, Italy, Netherlands, Ukraine, South Korea and Australia also abstained from voting.
Meanwhile, India supported Canada’s amendment, condemning Hamas and demanding the release of hostages. Earlier resolutions calling for a cease-fire in Gaza were rejected after the permanent members of the UN Security Council vetoed them. India’s representative to the UN, Yojna Patel, explained that the resolution did not mention hostages or violence by Hamas, and that is why it abstained.
She reiterated that the situation in Gaza is a cause for concern and that India is taking the conflict in the region seriously and blamed both sides for the conflict. India had earlier taken a stand in support of Israel, but had assured that it would send humanitarian aid by calling the Palestinian leaders. Later, India sent aid through the Egyptian border.
destruction; Hamas will retaliate
Jerusalem: The Israeli army intensified ground and air strikes destroying Gaza. Currently, tanks are participating in the attack along the Gaza border. Israel bombed more than 150 centers yesterday. Israel claims to have killed Hamas air force chief Assem Abu Rabaka. At the same time, there was a rocket attack from Hezbollah centers in Lebanon towards Israel. An Israeli military spokesman said the offensive in Gaza had entered the next phase. It is estimated that 7300 people have been killed in Gaza so far. Internet and communication services in the area were disrupted. About 23 lakh people are isolated from the outside world. Health systems are also in disarray.
Due to the lack of communication, the extent of the attack and details of the emergency are not getting out. WHO director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said it was not possible to communicate with health workers in Gaza. He added that he was worried about the lives of health workers and getting treatment to the needy. At the same time, Hamas leaders warned that the Israeli army will give a strong response to the attacks in Gaza. Archyde.com reported that Hamas forces vowed to retaliate with full force.
Shocking Action: The Left
New Delhi: The joint statement of CPI and CPI(M) says that India’s abstention from the resolution approved by the UN General Assembly with a majority is shocking. The overwhelmingly approved resolution called for the protection of civilians, the upholding of legal and humanitarian agreements, and a humanitarian pause in the ongoing Israeli offensive in Gaza. It is clear that the country’s foreign policy has changed to the level of becoming a subordinate ally of American imperialism and the Modi government’s steps to strengthen the US-Israel-India unholy alliance.
The current move is a repudiation of India’s longstanding support for the cause of Palestine. With the adoption of the United Nations General Assembly resolution, Israel’s genocidal air and ground attacks on the Gaza Strip have intensified. All communications to Gaza, home to 2.2 million people, have also been cut. There should be an immediate ceasefire following the UN General Assembly’s directive. In a joint statement issued by General Secretaries D Raja and Sitaram Yechury, the United Nations urged the United Nations to commit itself to implementing the UN Security Council’s proposal for a two-state solution of a Palestinian state with the pre-1967 borders and East Jerusalem as its capital.
