The Congress Working Committee advocated an immediate ceasefire between Israel and Hamas amid their severe flare-up that has killed dozens. The CWC statement extended Congress' long-standing backing for Palestinian rights to land, self-rule and dignified living. It pressed for talks on all outstanding issues fueling the conflict. Congress has historically been vocal on the Israeli-Palestinian crisis. As Gaza rockets and Israeli airstrikes intensify violence, the CWC call aligns with global demands urging de-escalation and dialogue. It signals Congress prioritizing peace and its traditional solidarity with the Palestinian cause even as India expresses support for ally Israel.
