Congress general secretary, communications, Jairam Ramesh said the Israeli "genocide" has now been questioned within Israel including by their former prime minister.

"The Israeli genocide in Gaza continues unabated. In fact it is intensifying and assuming horrific new dimensions. A number of voices within Israel are beginning to speak out. The latest to express grave concern is a former PM of Israel himself," Ramesh said in a post on X.

"But the Government of India is supremely indifferent, not wanting to say or do anything that would affect the friendship of Mr. Netanyahu and Mr. Modi. The PM's silence is disgraceful, shameful, and goes against all that India has stood for," he added.
