India commits to more aid for Palestine, backs UN membership bid
India commits to more aid for Palestine, including a specialty hospital, an artificial limb fitment centre, and a vocational training institute.
External Affairs Minister Dr S Jaishankar announced India's support for Palestine's full membership in the United Nations.
India has delivered around 135 metric tonnes of humanitarian aid to Palestine since 2023 and over $80 million in development aid in the past decade.
India's actions reaffirm its longstanding support for a two-state solution between Palestine and Israel.
Palestine currently holds non-member observer state status at the UN, granted in 2012.
