According to media sources, India has joined 145 other countries in opposing the UN resolution that denounces Israeli settlements in Palestine. India reportedly voted in favor of the UN resolution denouncing Israeli settlement in the occupied Syrian Golan and East Jerusalem, as well as the occupied Palestine territories. The resolution was ratified two days after its draft resolution was authorized on November 9, according to the BBC.
The picture that TMC MP posted on his official X (formerly Twitter) account revealed that India had voted in favor of the UN's request to declare Israeli settlements in Occupied Palestine to be illegal. This is how the information first came to light. However, the Ministry of External Affairs has not yet released an official statement in this regard.
"A resolution was moved in UN yesterday seeking to declare Israeli settlements in Occupied Palestine as illegal," the TMC MP tweeted. I'm happy that the Republic of India supported the resolution with their vote. It is illegal for Israel to be occupying Palestine with settlers. Apartheid in Israel has to cease immediately.
The UN General Assembly had earlier in October passed a resolution urging an "immediate, durable and sustained humanitarian truce" between Israel and Gaza's terrorist organization, Hamas. The UN General Assembly had drafted a resolution titled "Protection of civilians and upholding legal and humanitarian obligations," which called for an immediate humanitarian truce in the Israel-Hamas conflict and unhindered humanitarian access in the Gaza Strip. However, during that time, India had refrained from calling for the protection of civilians and upholding legal and humanitarian obligations.
There were 120 votes in favor, 12 against, and 45 abstentions of the draft resolution that the General Assembly ultimately decided to adopt. Greece, Iceland, India, Panama, Lithuania, and 45 other countries refrained from voting on the measure.
With 120 votes in favor, 12 against, and 45 abstentions, the General Assembly approved the proposed resolution. Iceland, India, Panama, Lithuania, and Greece were among the 45 countries that refrained from casting a ballot on the resolution. Israel responded to Hamas' extraordinary attacks on October 7 with a huge counteroffensive that resulted in the deaths of over 1,400 people. Israel vowed to destroy the militant group and responded with constant shelling and a ground campaign that has killed over 11,000 people, most of them civilians, and many of them children, according to the health ministry in the Gaza Strip, which is ruled by Hamas.
