India Breaks Convention, Opposes UN Resolution on Palestine Over Lack of Hamas Condemnation

In a first, #India has voted against a UN General Assembly resolution backing the ##Palestine cause.

#India’s opposition to the resolution on Friday was because it failed to condemn #Hamas for its terrorist attack and the Assembly rejected an amendment supported by New Delhi that would have named the terror group.

#India’s Deputy Permanent Representative Yojna Patel said after the vote, “The terror attacks in #Israel on October 7 were shocking and deserve condemnation.”

“The world should not buy into any justification of terror acts. Let us keep aside differences, unite and adopt a zero tolerance approach to terrorists,” she added.
