Arab outreach works, as India votes for negotiated settlement of Jerusalem:
Context
Israel-Palestine dispute
What has happened?
Reiterating its traditional policy on the Israel-Palestine dispute, India on Thursday voted for a negotiated settlement of the Jerusalem issue at the UN General Assembly with 127 other member countries
Backdrop
- The dramatic vote came a day after a fortnight-long outreach by the Arab countries to India.
- Saudi and Palestinian envoys met diplomats from the Ministry of External Affairs ahead of the vote
- India has maintained since December 7 that it follows an independent policy on the issue of Jerusalem which does not get influenced by “third parties”
What was the resolution all about?
The resolution expressed deep “regret” on the December 7 declaration by U.S. President Donald Trump recognising Jerusalem as the capital of Israel
