As the Gaza peace deal enters the second phase, India has commended the US efforts to end the conflict. Speaking at the Security Council debate on the situation in the Middle East, India’s Permanent Representative P Harish denounced terrorism, without naming Hamas, whose attacks on Israel in 2023 set off the Gaza crisis. He said that terrorism has no place in civilised societies and must be condemned in all its forms and manifestations.
Harish referred to the progress made in implementing November’s Council resolution on Gaza and said that India appreciates the United States’s role in addressing the long-standing issue. He did not name US President Donald Trump, who has taken personal credit for ending the conflict. Harish also reiterated India’s support for a two-state solution that has an independent Palestine taking its place alongside Israel.
