Amidst the war between Israel and Hamas, India has voted in favor of the resolution presented against Israeli occupation in Palestine. According to media reports, a resolution was brought in the UN on Thursday, condemning the Israeli occupation of Palestinian areas including East Jerusalem, Syrian Golan.
145 countries including India voted in favor of this proposal. Around 7 countries voted against it while 18 countries abstained from voting.

We do not trust international forces to maintain security here.
"Israel will destroy Hamas, even if we have to go against the world to do it," Netanyahu said at a press conference with Defense Minister Yoav Galant. No amount of false claims or pressure against the army can stop us from doing this. After this war, there will be no threat to Israel from Gaza.

The world should put pressure on America
Hassan Nasrallah, leader of Hezbollah terrorist organization, gave an important statement on Saturday. He said- Demonstration and condemnation against Israel will do nothing. If attacks on Gaza are to be stopped, pressure will have to be put on America. America is the only power that can stop Israel's attacks.
He further said- We are seeing that there are continuous demonstrations against Israel in Washington, New York, London and Paris. Now the time has come for western countries to put pressure for ceasefire. He initially condemned the attacks by Hamas.
Alert on lebanon border
Alert sirens continued to sound throughout the day on Saturday in the Kabri area adjacent to the Lebanon and Israel border. Also surrounding Kabri are the cities of Nevez Ziv, Manot and Avdon. Even before this, alert sirens have been sounding here. This trend has become more intense after the war started.
An Israeli army officer told the Times of Israel - These alert sirens have become louder because intelligence has been received that the Lebanese terrorist organization Hezbollah is planning a major attack. If there is any action from there, our army is ready to give a forceful reply without any delay. Drone attacks are also being attempted continuously from there.

Hamas has named its operation against Israel 'Al-Aqsa Flood'. In response, the Israeli army started 'Swords of Iron' operation against Hamas. Hamas military commander Mohammed Deif had said - This attack is revenge for Israel's desecration of the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem. Actually, Israeli police had thrown grenades at Al-Aqsa Mosque in April 2023.
At the same time, Hamas spokesperson Ghazi Hamad told Al Jazeera - This action is our answer to those Arab countries which are growing closer to Israel. In recent days, media reports had claimed that Saudi Arabia may recognize Israel as a country on America's initiative.
Why is there dispute between Israel and Palestine?
This conflict has been going on in this area of the Middle East for at least 100 years. There is dispute over areas like West Bank, Gaza Strip and Golan Heights. Palestine claims these areas including East Jerusalem. At the same time, Israel is not ready to give up its claim on Jerusalem.
Gaza Strip is between Israel and Egypt. This place is currently under the control of Hamas. This is an anti-Israel group. In September 2005, Israel withdrew its forces from the Gaza Strip. In 2007, Israel imposed several restrictions on this area. Palestine says that an independent Palestine state should be established in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
