“Israel’s occupation of palestine through settlers is ILLEGAL. Israel’s apartheid must end NOW (sic),” Saket Gokhale said.
India refrained from voting for a draught resolution put forth by jordan at the UN General assembly last month, which demanded an urgent humanitarian ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas conflict, because it made no reference of the terrorist organisation Hamas. With 120 countries voting in support, 14 voting against, and 45 abstaining, the resolution titled "Protection of civilians and upholding legal and humanitarian obligations" was overwhelmingly accepted.
