Press Statement 

Stop this Genocidal Aggression in Gaza

It is shocking that India abstained on a Resolution overwhelmingly adopted
by the UN General Assembly calling for a humanitarian truce titled
"Protection of civilians and upholding legal and humanitarian obligations"
in the ongoing Israeli offensive in Gaza.

India's abstention on a resolution that was overwhelmingly adopted shows the
extent to which Indian foreign policy is being shaped by being a subordinate
ally of US imperialism and the Modi government's actions for consolidating
the US-Israel-India nexus.  This negates India's longstanding support to the
Palestinian cause.

As the United Nations General Assembly adopted this resolution, Israel has
stepped up its genocidal air and ground attacks in the Gaza strip. It has
also cut off all communications in Gaza which is home to 2.2 million
Palestinians.

Respecting the overwhelming mandate of the UN General Assembly there must be
an immediate ceasefire. The United Nations must reenergize itself to
implement the mandate of the Security Council for a 2-State solution with
pre-1967 borders with East Jerusalem as the capital of State of Palestine.
