Rare! India Condemns Israel! On September 10, Indian Prime Minister Modi stated that he had spoken with the Emir of Qatar and expressed deep concern over the attack in Doha. Modi said that India condemns the violation of the sovereignty of the brother nation Qatar. We support resolving issues through dialogue and diplomacy to avoid escalation. India firmly supports peace and stability in the region and opposes all forms and manifestations of terrorism.
It must be said that India's choice to condemn Israel this time is indeed very surprising. Why do I say so? Because just before Israel attacked Iran, the Indian Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed deep concern about the situation between Israel and Iran, urging both sides to avoid any escalation. In a statement within the Shanghai Cooperation Organization calling for condemnation of Israel's military actions, India did not choose to agree but remained silent and took a reserved stance.
Evidently, in similar situations, India has shown a different position this time, which is indeed intriguing. Of course, India's statement this time may have a very close relationship with the change in the international atmosphere towards Israel. When Israel attacked Iran, European countries did not say they supported it, but at least they tacitly approved Israel's actions. However, after Israel openly declared its intention to occupy Gaza, the attitude of European countries reversed.
This time, when Israel attacked Qatar, many European countries condemned it and sought sanctions against Israel. With the deterioration of relations between the US and India, India is actively promoting its relations with Europe, seizing an important time window to promote the implementation of the India-EU Free Trade Agreement. It is estimated that India is also responding to the European stance. Otherwise, it would be difficult to understand why India chose to strongly condemn Israel this time, taking a position inconsistent with previous ones.
