BJP stands with Israel; Congress, Left call for peace

The Hindu  

As the war-like situation in Palestine and Israel worsened on October 8, both the ruling BJP and Opposition parties here took positions on the matter. While the BJP compared the situation in Israel with the terrorist attacks India had faced during the United Progressive Alliance regime, the Congress and the Left parties urged both the sides to stop violence and work for a solution to the Palestinian question. “Violence of any type never provides a solution and must stop,” Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh said. UN must ensure the legitimate rights of the Palestinians, withdrawal of all Israeli illegal settlements and occupation of Palestinian lands and implement the ‘Two Nation State’ solution,” said Communist Party of India general secretary Sitaram Yechury. He added in another post on X that “Israeli aggression” unleashed by the most right wing Netanyahu government against the Palestinians has claimed the lives of 248 people, including 40 children, so far this year.
