‘Moral responsibility of every government to condemn Israel’s genocidal actions, force them to stop’: Priyanka Gandhi

Criticising Tel Aviv’s actions, Priyanka said Israel’s “actions are unacceptable in a world that professes civility and morality. Instead we are subjected to the image of the Israeli Prime Minister being given a standing ovation in the US congress.”

It is no longer enough to speak up for the civilians, mothers, fathers, doctors, nurses, aid workers, journalists, teachers, writers, poets, senior citizens and the thousands of innocent children who are being wiped out day after day by the horrific genocide taking place in Gaza.…

Priyanka also criticised the global response to the ongoing conflict and said, “Their barbarism is being given the unstinted support of most of the western world. It is truly a shame to watch.”

She further remarked, “He (Netanyahu) calls it ‘a clash between barbarism and civilisation’. He is absolutely correct, except that it is him and his government that are barbaric.”

Netanyahu received a warm reception from House Speaker Mike Johnson and other Republican lawmakers, and he was met with a bipartisan standing ovation.

However, this is not the first time that Priyanka has spoken out for Palestine. The Congress leader has consistently voiced her opposition to Israel’s actions in Gaza and has expressed solidarity with the Palestinians.
