New Delhi: Indian politicians and lawmakers from various political parties met with Palestinian Ambassador Abu Al-Hija at the Palestinian embassy in New Delhi, to express their support for the Palestinian people during this difficult time.
They demanded that humanitarian aid be delivered to the people of Gaza immediately and unhindered. “Immediate attention and action are required in light of the catastrophic humanitarian situation. They added in a statement that “all necessary steps must be taken to ensure that essential supplies, including food, water, and medical aid, reach the affected population unhindered.”
They stated We, the undersigned, think that using violence is never a good idea since it creates a vicious circle of misery. We emphasize the importance of the international community stepping up its efforts to mediate a peaceful end to the war as a result. The state of Israel needs to be under pressure from the international community to uphold international law and show respect for the rights and dignity of the Palestinian people. To maintain a long-lasting peace in the region, we demand stepped-up diplomatic efforts and global initiatives.
“We strongly believe in the statement of Mahatma Gandhi, “Palestine belongs to the Arabs in the same sense that England belongs to the English or France to the French,” which reflects his belief in the importance of recognizing the sovereignty and territorial rights of the Palestinian people, just as any other nation’s right to their homeland”, they said in a joint statement submitted to the diplomat.
Press Resolution by Indian MPs and Politicians
We express our deep concern regarding the ongoing crisis in Gaza and the suffering of the Palestinian people. We strongly condemn the indiscriminate bombing of Palestinians in Gaza by Israel, which we believe amounts to an attempt to genocide. We urge an immediate cessation of all hostilities to prevent further loss of innocent lives and the destruction of homes and infrastructure.
Furthermore, we call for urgent and unimpeded delivery of humanitarian aid to the people of Gaza. The dire humanitarian situation demands immediate attention and action. All necessary measures must be taken to ensure that essential supplies, including food, water, and medical aid, reach the affected population without hindrance.
We strongly believe in the statement of Mahatma Gandhi, “Palestine belongs to the Arabs in the same sense that England belongs to the English or France to the French,” which reflects his belief in the importance of recognizing the sovereignty and territorial rights of the Palestinian people, just as any other nation’s right to their homeland.
Recognising that the Palestinian people have endured immeasurable suffering for over 75 years, we firmly assert that now is the time to end their plight. We urge the international community to recognize the establishment of an independent Palestinian state along the 1967 borders in accordance with the UN resolutions. Such recognition is a crucial step towards ensuring a just and lasting solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, providing the Palestinian people with the opportunity to determine their own destiny and live in peace and security.
