Israeli actions in Gaza reflect an "inherent weakness and inability to face their own truth," a top Indian opposition politician said on Wednesday as Israel launched a renewed assault on the besieged coastal enclave of Palestine.
“The cold blooded murder of over 400 innocent civilians including 130 children by the Israeli government, shows that humanity means nothing to them,” Indian parliamentarian and senior leader of the main opposition Congress party, Priyanka Gandhi, said on X, as the Israeli army pounded the Gaza Strip early Tuesday, killing more than 400 people.
"Whether western powers choose to recognise this or to acknowledge their collusion in the genocide of the Palestinian people or not,” Gandhi said, adding: “all citizens of the world who have a conscience (including many Israelis), see it.”
Gandhi said the more “criminally the Israeli government acts,” the more they “reveal themselves for the cowards they truly are.”
Gandhi also noted that the bravery of the Palestinian people prevails. “They have endured unimaginable suffering yet their spirit remains resilient and unwavering,” she said.
Separately, the Indian government expressed "concern" over the situation in Gaza.
"It is important that all hostages are released. We also call for supply of humanitarian assistance to the people of Gaza to be sustained," said the Foreign Ministry in New Delhi.
The Israeli army pounded the Gaza Strip early Tuesday, killing more than 400 people and injuring hundreds of others, breaking a ceasefire deal with the Palestinian resistance group Hamas that took effect on Jan. 19, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry.
Images showed that most of the victims were civilians, including women and children, whose homes were bombed.
Nearly 50,000 Palestinians have been killed, mostly women and children, and over 112,000 injured in a brutal Israeli military onslaught in Gaza since October 2023.
