India Calls Killings In Rafah ‘Heartbreaking’, Reaffirms Palestinian Statehood Amid European Moves

India on Thursday reaffirmed its long-standing position on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict following the recent recognition of Palestine by Ireland, Norway, and Spain. Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal highlighted India's historical support for Palestinian statehood and a two-state solution. When asked about the coordinated decision by Spain, Ireland, and Norway to formally recognise Palestine, Jaiswal, at a weekly press briefing, said, “As you are aware, India was one of the first countries to recognise the state of Palestine in the late 1980s, and we have long supported a two-state solution which entails the establishment of a sovereign, viable, and independent state of Palestine within recognised and mutually agreed borders, living side by side with Israel in peace.” #IndiaOnRafah #HeartbreakingKillings #RafahIncident #PalestinianStatehood #MEAStatement #IndiaSupportsPalestine #EuropeanMoves #MiddleEastConflict #DiplomaticResponse #HumanRights #InternationalAffairs #PeaceInMiddleEast #GlobalSolidarity #RafahTragedy #PalestineIsraelConflict ~HT.99~PR.152~ED.155~

Hamas To Release Israeli Hostages? | Hamas Agrees to U.S. Proposal, Sparking Hope for End Gaza War

Hamas has accepted a U.S. proposal to negotiate the release of Israeli hostages, potentially ending the nine-month Gaza conflict. This decision comes 16 days after the initial agreement phase aimed at ceasing hostilities. Hamas demands Israel commit to a permanent ceasefire but is open to a temporary one during the six-week talks. The conflict has caused over 38,000 Palestinian and 1,200 Israeli deaths, with 250 hostages. The proposal includes a ceasefire, aid delivery, and Israeli troop withdrawal. Qatar leads mediation, with the U.S. pushing for a deal before the November election. #Hamas #USProposal #IsraeliHostages #GazaConflict #PeaceTalks #Ceasefire #MiddleEastPeace #Diplomacy #HostageNegotiation #GazaWar #ConflictResolution #InternationalRelations #HumanRights #Mediation #GlobalNews
