Palestinians Face Joint Assault by Israel and the U.S. — Alarming Statement by Palestinian Envoy to India
Posted: Sat Jul 12, 2025 9:31 am
In a powerful and emotional statement, the Palestinian Ambassador to India has claimed that the Palestinian people are facing a joint attack by Israel and the United States. This declaration comes amidst continued violence in Gaza and the West Bank, and growing criticism of U.S. military and diplomatic support for Israel.
According to the ambassador, U.S. weapons and political backing have effectively made Washington a partner in the ongoing Israeli assault, rather than a neutral mediator. He argued that this alliance has led to intensified suffering, displacement, and loss of life for ordinary Palestinians, especially women and children.
The envoy’s remarks reflect growing frustration within Palestinian leadership and civil society, as international calls for ceasefires and humanitarian access often fall on deaf ears. Many in the global south, including parts of India’s civil society, have echoed similar concerns — calling for a more balanced approach to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
The ambassador also appealed to India’s historical support for Palestinian rights, urging New Delhi to play a more active role in advocating for justice and peace in the region.
This statement reignites critical questions-
(a) Can the United States still be seen as an impartial mediator in the Middle East conflict?
(b) How long can the global community remain silent while allegations of war crimes and collective punishment continue to surface?
