India Opposes 'All Acts Of Violence' Over Israel, Requests De-escalation
India comes forward to oppose the "indiscriminate rocket firing" by Hamas on Israel. A statement by India's UN Permanent Representative carefully termed Israel's firing as retaliatory strikes and stated "we reiterate our strong condemnation of all acts of violence, provocation, incitement and destruction." Further, the statement called for an "immediate de-escalation" from both sides requesting "extreme restraint, desist from actions that exacerbate tensions."
