Nations may be justified, at least in their own eyes, in their actions, but an action cannot be taken that disregards international humanitarian law."
 
"And the fact is, that whatever the rights and wrongs of the issue, there is the underlying issue of the rights of the Palestinians and the fact that they have been denied their homeland," the External Affairs minister added.

Jaishankar stated, "We have also been the country who have the opportunity to talk to the Russians very frankly and bluntly on this (Ukraine) issue on different aspects," in response to a query about India's stance on the Russia-Ukraine dispute. You know, other people have sent messages via us."
 
"And by the way, the same thing applies when it comes to the Gaza-Israel conflict as well."
 
"We took the position from the start, that you're not going to get a solution to this conflict on the battlefield," he stated.
 
"In the end, not only do all involved parties suffer losses or damages, but also a great number of innocent bystanders or other nations. disagreement in one direction or another. Thus, we have been committed to finding a solution to end this crisis," jaishankar stated.
 
"Very honestly, in some circles, this was not a very popular position at that time," he said.
