## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF EXTERNAL AFFAIRS (SHRI PABITRA MARGHERITA)

(a to c) India's policy towards Palestine and Israel has been long-standing. India remains committed to achieving a just, comprehensive and lasting peace in the Middle East. Prime Minister met the President of Palestine on the sidelines of Summit of the Future in New York in September 2024

and reiterated India's principled position on the Israel-Palestine issue. During his State Visit to Israel in February 2026, Prime Minister reiterated India's support for all efforts that contribute to durable peace and regional stability.

India has expressed concern at the humanitarian situation in Gaza and   called   for   safe,   timely   and   sustained   delivery   of   humanitarian assistance to the people of Palestine. India condemned the loss of civilian lives and called for a ceasefire, release of all hostages and peaceful resolution of conflict through dialogue and diplomacy and welcomed the Gaza Peace Plan. India's support for all efforts towards a lasting peace was reaffirmed by Minister of State for External Affairs Shri Kirti Vardhan Singh at the Gaza Peace Summit in Sharm El-Sheikh on 13 October 2025.

Since the beginning of the conflict, India has provided around 70 MT of humanitarian aid, including 16.5 MT of medicines and medical supplies in two tranches in October- November 2023. Again, in October and November 2024, India sent 65 tonnes of medicines to United Nations Relief and Work Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) and Palestine Ministry of Health. The list of medicines is at Annexure. India has also released a total of $12.5 million since the beginning of the conflict, including $5 million in 2025, to UNRWA.
