India reaffirmed its support for a two-state solution to the Palestinian issue on Friday, aligning with over 100 countries condemning Israel's expansion of unlawful settlements in the West Bank.
Initially not among the endorsers, India later joined, reflecting its consistent stance expressed in January's India-Arab League ministerial joint statement in New Delhi, advocating for a peaceful coexistence of sovereign Palestine and Israel based on 1967 borders.
External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal explained that India's initial absence was due to typical non-negotiated documents, despite its ongoing support for Palestinian rights and recent participation in peace initiatives, including President Trump's Gaza Peace Plan and UNSC resolutions.
