India Backs Two-State Solution for Israel-Palestine Peace at UNGA
India's External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar reiterated India's support for a two-state solution to the Israel-Palestine conflict at the United Nations General Assembly on Saturday, stating that lasting peace in West Asia requires separate Israeli and Palestinian states. Jaishankar highlighted India's humanitarian contributions to Palestinians amid the ongoing conflict, with the Ministry of External Affairs reporting approximately 70 metric tons of aid provided since hostilities began. This included medicines and medical supplies delivered in multiple tranches during 2023 and 2024. India has consistently backed the two-state solution, supporting Palestine's UN membership last year while condemning the October 7, 2023 terror attacks. Jaishankar also called for an end to ongoing conflicts globally and criticized Pakistan's prime minister for misrepresenting facts regarding Kashmir.
