India Supports Palestine at UN 🌍
India has once again stood in support of Palestine. On Friday, India voted in favor of a draft resolution presented at the United Nations seeking membership for Palestine. The resolution also advocated for the Security Council to act positively towards Palestine's membership. Despite obstacles due to objections within the Security Council, Palestine's bid for UN membership has faced challenges. The draft resolution was brought to the UN General Assembly on Friday morning by UAE on behalf of the Arab Group. 143 countries, including India, voted in favor, while nine opposed and 25 abstained. The assembly witnessed overwhelming support for Palestine's membership. According to this resolution, Palestine meets all the criteria for membership under Article 4 of the UN Charter. The resolution proposed that Palestine could participate in the meetings of the 79th UN General Assembly starting in September. Palestine will be seated alphabetically among member countries.
The resolution also included additional proposals. Palestine, recognized by the Palestine Liberation Organization as its representative, first stood with India in 1988 as a distinct nation. In 1996, the central government also inaugurated an Indian representative office in Gaza, which was later moved to Ramallah in 2003.
