Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi has condemned the Modi government’s policy on Palestine, using strong words to describe it as ‘shameful’ and lacking ‘moral rectitude.’ She highlighted India’s historical recognition of Palestine in 1988, positioning it as a leader in supporting the Palestinian cause. She emphasized the importance of maintaining values of humanity and justice on the world stage. Her remarks come amidst global discussions surrounding the recognition of Palestine.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has stated his country will not accept a Palestinian state for political reasons, opposing moves by nations like the UK, Australia, and Canada to recognize Palestine. These countries have conditioned their recognition on the cessation of Hamas activities. The Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has shown its support for such recognition, seeing it as a step toward peace and a two-state solution.
