In re: Jairam Ramesh's suggestion on the Gaza Peace Deal

Jairam Ramesh's suggestion that India should take a line on the Gaza peace deal which favours the Palestinians more than that which most Islamic countries are taking is misplaced.

I am completely with the government's balanced approach on this conflict.

A developing and security wise vulnerable country like India needs the Islamic World as well as Israel & its supporters.

The government appears cognizant of this & continues to proceed accordingly.
