of the continued war in Palestine. Significantly, India\u2019s external affairs minister made India\u2019s position on Palestinian statehood clearer at the conference, besides holding talks with other global leaders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Indian External Affairs Minister, S Jaishankar has called for a \u2018permanent fix\u2019 to the Israel-Palestine conflict. In his speech at the Munich Security Conference (MSC) 2024, Jaishankar stated that a large number of nations, particularly those in the Global South, believe that terrorism shouldn&#8217;t be justified<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though calling Hamas\u2019 attack on Israel on 7 October, an act of terrorism, EAM Jaishankar said that Israel should have been \u201cvery mindful\u201d of civilian casualties in its response and emphasised its \u201cobligation to observe international humanitarian law.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He also outlined key dimensions of the Israel-Palestine conflict so as to have a long term and a permanent solution to the issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jaishankar\u2019s latest speech stresses two points that India, as the PM noted in his first reaction, after the 7 October attacks, emphasises that the Hamas\u2019 attacks were a \u201cterrorist attack\u201d, yet it has further reiterated its age-old stand that the solution to the Palestinian issue, could be found only through a two stage solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the outlines of any such \u201ctwo state solution\u201d is yet to be defined and by the time the international comity agrees to those parameters, a lot of innocent Palestinians would have been killed in the on-going Israeli attacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What is of paramount importance here is an immediate cessation of hostilities by the IDF, and an ensured flow of humanitarian aid to the besieged Palestinians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In his speech EAM, also praised the efforts by the US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, but Blinken on his part said that the US is committed to Israel&#8217;s security and supports the proposition that Israel has to find ways to ensure that whatever happened on 7 October \u201cnever happens again.\u201d This underlies the continued American support to the Bibi regime in Israel and till the time this monetary and military support is not halted by the US, signs of the war ending immediately are very slim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In his speech, Jaishankar also stated that a large number of nations, particularly those in the Global South, believe that terrorism shouldn&#8217;t be justified. He said that these nations believe a two-state solution should not be delayed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I think a very large number of countries, especially those in the Global South, believe that terrorism shouldn&#8217;t be countenanced or justified. But they equally strongly believe that a two-state solution should not be delayed. These are not choices. These are both musts. And unless we are able to address both these issues, we are not going to really solve the problem,&#8221; EAM said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the conference, Jaishankar also met with his Saudi Arabian counterpart Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud and discussed the West Asia situation and the strategic partnership between India and Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Notably, India and Saudi Arabia share centuries old economic and socio-cultural ties. Economic ties are an important aspect of the bilateral strategic partnership between two nations, according to the Indian Embassy in Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If however, India and Saudi Arabia share the same page on the Palestinian issue, then it seems plausible that the war may end soon in Palestine. As Saudi is one of the prominent Middle Eastern nations, who are pursuing diplomatic efforts to get the conflict, ended as soon as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, there are reports that Russia has invited various Palestinian factions to meet in Moscow on 26 February, the Palestinian Authority prime minister said on Sunday, adding that the PA was ready to engage with Hamas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cRussia has invited all Palestinian factions who will be meeting on the 26 of this month in Moscow. We will see if Hamas is ready to come to the ground with us\u201d Mohammad Shtayyeh told the Munich Security Conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are ready to engage. If Hamas is not then that\u2019s a different story. We need Palestinian unity,\u201d he said, adding that to be part of that unity Hamas needed to meet certain prerequisites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Russian initiative has come rather as a surprise to the western world, but it should not be marred by any indifference. As far as the question of Hamas participating at the 26 February meeting is considered, Russia may take help of its crucial ally Iran to influence the Hamas leadership to sit at the same table as other Palestinian factions and hammer out a long-term stand and policy for an earliest solution to the long running conflict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At an interactive session at the security conference with the US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock, Jaishankar also delved on the question of India\u2019s alignment on non-alignment with Russia and the US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When asked about the country&#8217;s foreign policy priorities in the backdrop of observations that it is traversing from \u201cnon-alignment to all alignment\u201d and its continued procurement of crude oil from Russia notwithstanding Moscow&#8217;s invasion of Ukraine. Jaishankar asserted that India should not be criticised for having multiple options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Why should it be a problem? I am smart enough to have multiple options. You should be admiring and not criticising. Is it a problem for others? I do not think so,&#8221; he said.<br>This is not the first time that the EAM has forcefully put across India\u2019s stand on its continued economic ties with Russia and the two state solution to the Palestinian issue. Rather it should be seen in the new paradigm shift of the global geopolitics, where India, once being a champion of non-alignment has been able to maintain ties with different ideologies based on its own interpretation and understanding of the issues, rather than being tutored by either super power.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"pvc_stats all \" data-element-id=\"5009\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.0\" viewBox=\"0 0 502 315\" preserveAspectRatio=\"xMidYMid meet\"><g transform=\"translate(0,332) scale(0.1,-0.1)\" fill=\"\" stroke=\"none\"><path d=\"M2394 3279 l-29 -30 -3 -207 c-2 -182 0 -211 15 -242 39 -76 157 -76 196 0 15 31 17 60 15 243 l-3 209 -33 29 c-26 23 -41 29 -80 29 -41 0 -53 -5 -78 -31z\"\/><path d=\"M3085 3251 c-45 -19 -58 -50 -96 -229 -47 -217 -49 -260 -13 -295 52 -53 146 -42 177 20 16 31 87 366 87 410 0 70 -86 122 -155 94z\"\/><path d=\"M1751 3234 c-13 -9 -29 -31 -37 -50 -12 -29 -10 -49 21 -204 19 -94 39 -189 45 -210 14 -50 54 -80 110 -80 34 0 48 6 76 34 21 21 34 44 34 59 0 14 -18 113 -40 219 -37 178 -43 195 -70 221 -36 32 -101 37 -139 11z\"\/><path d=\"M1163 3073 c-36 -7 -73 -59 -73 -102 0 -56 133 -378 171 -413 34 -32 83 -37 129 -13 70 36 67 87 -16 290 -86 209 -89 214 -129 231 -35 14 -42 15 -82 7z\"\/><path d=\"M3689 3066 c-15 -9 -33 -30 -42 -48 -48 -103 -147 -355 -147 -375 0 -98 131 -148 192 -74 13 15 57 108 97 206 80 196 84 226 37 273 -30 30 -99 39 -137 18z\"\/><path d=\"M583 2784 c-38 -19 -67 -74 -58 -113 9 -42 211 -354 242 -373 16 -10 45 -18 66 -18 51 0 107 52 107 100 0 39 -1 41 -124 234 -80 126 -108 162 -133 173 -41 17 -61 16 -100 -3z\"\/><path d=\"M4250 2784 c-14 -9 -74 -91 -133 -183 -95 -150 -107 -173 -107 -213 0 -55 33 -94 87 -104 67 -13 90 8 211 198 130 202 137 225 78 284 -27 27 -42 34 -72 34 -22 0 -50 -8 -64 -16z\"\/><path d=\"M2275 2693 c-553 -48 -1095 -270 -1585 -649 -135 -104 -459 -423 -483 -476 -23 -49 -22 -139 2 -186 73 -142 361 -457 571 -626 285 -228 642 -407 990 -497 242 -63 336 -73 660 -74 310 0 370 5 595 52 535 111 1045 392 1455 803 122 121 250 273 275 326 19 41 19 137 0 174 -41 79 -309 363 -465 492 -447 370 -946 591 -1479 653 -113 14 -422 18 -536 8z m395 -428 c171 -34 330 -124 456 -258 112 -119 167 -219 211 -378 27 -96 24 -300 -5 -401 -72 -255 -236 -447 -474 -557 -132 -62 -201 -76 -368 -76 -167 0 -236 14 -368 76 -213 98 -373 271 -451 485 -162 444 86 934 547 1084 153 49 292 57 452 25z m909 -232 c222 -123 408 -262 593 -441 76 -74 138 -139 138 -144 0 -16 -233 -242 -330 -319 -155 -123 -309 -223 -461 -299 l-81 -41 32 46 c18 26 49 83 70 128 143 306 141 649 -6 957 -25 52 -61 116 -79 142 l-34 47 45 -20 c26 -10 76 -36 113 -56z m-2057 25 c-40 -58 -105 -190 -130 -263 -110 -324 -59 -707 132 -981 25 -35 42 -64 37 -64 -19 0 -241 119 -326 174 -188 122 -406 314 -532 468 l-58 71 108 103 c185 178 428 349 672 473 66 33 121 60 123 61 2 0 -10 -19 -26 -42z\"\/><path d=\"M2375 1950 c-198 -44 -350 -190 -395 -379 -18 -76 -8 -221 19 -290 114 -284 457 -406 731 -260 98 52 188 154 231 260 27 69 37 214 19 290 -38 163 -166 304 -326 360 -67 23 -215 33 -279 19z\"\/><\/g><\/svg><\/i> &nbsp;176&nbsp;total views, &nbsp;1&nbsp;views today<\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;176&nbsp;total views, &nbsp;1&nbsp;views today https:\/\/kashmirobserver.net\/2024\/02\/19\/global-leaders-assemble-for-the-munich-security-conference\/ https:\/\/muslimmirror.com\/eng\/tag\/munich-security-conference-asad-mirza\/ https:\/\/maeeshat.in\/global-leaders-assemble-for-the-munich-security-conference\/ http:\/\/www.kipnews.in\/newsdet.aspx?q=31243 https:\/\/qoshe.com\/kashmir-observer\/guest-author\/global-leaders-assemble-for-the-munich-security-conference\/170395434 https:\/\/www.scoopnews.in\/det.aspx?q=128995 The Munich Security Conference (MSC) 2024 got underway in the background of the continued war in Palestine.
