India has officially voted in favour of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) resolution on Palestine, which endorses a two-state solution to resolve the longstanding conflict between Israel and Palestine. The resolution, introduced by France, was adopted with an overwhelming majority: 142 nations voted in favour, 10 against, and 12 abstentions.

The two-state solution, long advocated by the international community, envisions the coexistence of Israel and Palestine as independent states living side by side in peace. India’s support signals its continued commitment to a balanced foreign policy in the Middle East while endorsing peaceful negotiations as the primary mechanism to resolve conflicts in the region.

The resolution received strong backing from countries across Europe, Asia, Africa, and Latin America, reflecting a broad international consensus on the need for a peaceful settlement. Nations opposing the resolution primarily cited concerns over the specific language used regarding borders and settlements, while those abstaining highlighted a preference for bilateral negotiations over multilateral resolutions.

India’s vote is consistent with its historical diplomatic approach. New Delhi has traditionally supported a two-state solution while maintaining diplomatic and economic relations with Israel. The country has also expressed consistent support for the rights of the Palestinian people, including self-determination and sovereignty.

Experts suggest that India’s endorsement of the resolution strengthens its position as a responsible global actor advocating for peaceful conflict resolution, and could enhance its diplomatic leverage in the Middle East. This move is also likely to bolster India’s relations with countries in the Arab world, while reinforcing its commitment to international law and multilateralism.

The UNGA resolution encourages parties to resume direct negotiations, cease hostilities, and respect international humanitarian laws. It underscores the urgent need for dialogue and diplomacy to achieve lasting peace, stability, and security for all people in the region.

By supporting the resolution, India aligns with the global push for a negotiated settlement and emphasizes that peaceful coexistence and adherence to UN resolutions remain central to the international peace framework. Analysts believe this vote could also pave the way for India to play a more active role in future Middle East peace initiatives and multilateral forums.

India’s backing of the resolution highlights its strategic balancing act between supporting Palestinian aspirations and maintaining robust ties with Israel. This approach reflects the country’s broader policy of pragmatic diplomacy in regions affected by protracted conflicts.

The UNGA vote marks another step in the global effort to resolve one of the most enduring conflicts in modern history. With India voting in favour, the resolution now carries greater weight, encouraging both Israel and Palestine to engage constructively and move towards a comprehensive peace agreement that benefits all parties involved.
