At a recent solidarity conference by the Indian Union Muslim League, Palestine's Ambassador to India, Abdullah Abu Sawesh, articulated the need to focus on the historical context of the Palestine-Israel conflict, distancing it from religious connotations.

Sawesh detailed the timeline of Palestinian struggles, referencing key historical events such as the 1917 Balfour Declaration and the expulsion faced by Palestinians, paralleling it with India’s fight for independence.
