India supports Palestine’s bid for UN membership, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) says. The MEA position also aligns with India’s long-standing support for a “two-state” solution, under which Israel and Palestine live side by side in peace and security. India’s stance is communicated in international engagements, including a ministerial meeting of the Palestine Donor Group held in Brussels on July 13. During the meeting, Sripriya Ranganathan, a secretary in the MEA, apprises participants of India’s position on Palestine. The sources describe the announcement as part of India’s diplomatic outreach and reiteration of its policy framework regarding the Israeli-Palestinian issue. While the reports do not specify details on the UN membership process or timing, they present India’s support as consistent with its broader approach to achieving a negotiated settlement. Overall, the coverage emphasizes that India backs both UN membership for Palestine and the two-state framework.
