India abstained from voting on a UN Human Rights Council resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and urging states to implement an arms embargo, highlighting its stance on the issue.
While India supported three resolutions critical of Israel's human rights violations against Palestinians and its occupation of Syrian Golan, it abstained from voting on a resolution condemning Israel's actions in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, aligning its position with France and Japan.
The adopted resolution demanded the lifting of Israel's illegal blockade on the Gaza Strip and all forms of collective punishment, emphasizing the need for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, reflecting the ongoing concerns over the humanitarian situation in the region.
