India lauds US for addressing Gaza conflict

India voiced appreciation to the US towards addressing the “long-standing” conflict in Gaza as New Delhi noted the recent progress with regard to the implementation of the UN Security Council resolution on the issue. These remarks were made by India’s Permanent Representative to the UN, Ambassador Parvathaneni Harish, on Wednesday.

“India takes note of recent progress with regard to the implementation of UN Security Council Resolution 2803 to end the Gaza conflict. India also takes this opportunity to express appreciation to the United States in addressing this long-standing issue,” Harish said in his remarks to the UN Security Council open debate on the ‘Situation in the Middle East (West Asia)’.

The UNSC resolution 2803, adopted in November last year, endorsed US President Donald Trump’s ‘Comprehensive Plan to End the Gaza Conflict’ that entails that “Gaza will be a deradicalised terror-free zone that does not pose a threat to its neighbours.”
