The Indian National Congress criticised Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s address to Israel’s Parliament (Knesset), calling it an “unabashed defence” of Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu and saying it “diminished India’s moral standing” internationally. Modi spoke of support for the Gaza Peace Initiative as a path to “just and durable peace”, condemned terrorism, and expressed solidarity with Israel over the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack. Congress leader Jairam Ramesh invoked historical letters between Jawaharlal Nehru and Albert Einstein, arguing India’s stance should balance empathy for both Israelis and Palestinians. (PC: ANI)
