Indian judge and former chief justice call for policy shift amid UN report on Gaza
A judge involved in drafting a United Nations report described Israel’s targeting of children as genocide and urged India to halt arms sales to Israel. Sonia Gandhi criticized the Indian government’s response to the conflict.
An Indian judge who helped author a United Nations report described the document as “scathing” and said the report states Israel’s targeting of children amounted to genocide. The judge urged India to stop arming Israel, according to Middle East Eye.
Sonia Gandhi said the Modi government’s silence was “stony” and its inaction “morally reprehensible” regarding what she called a genocide in Gaza. She added that India has alienated historic allies in Palestine, Iran and the broader Middle East, has drifted from global public opinion, and allowed Pakistan to position itself as a mediator. Gandhi also called Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Israel ahead of a U.S.–Israel joint attack on Iran a “bewildering strategic decision”, as reported by Outlook India.
S Muralidhar, a former chief justice of the Delhi High Court, chairs the Independent International Commission that produced the United Nations report, according to Middle East Eye.
