India, along with 13 other nations, abstained from the vote due to the resolution's lack of mention of Hamas' attacks.
The UN General Assembly passed a resolution concerning the Israel-Palestine conflict with 119 votes in favor, 8 against, and 45 abstentions.
On May 20, 2022, the United Nations General Assembly held a vote on a resolution concerning the recent conflict between Israel and Palestine. The resolution, which was primarily focused on Israel's actions, did not mention the attacks by Hamas. India, along with 13 other nations, abstained from the vote. The resolution was passed with 119 votes in favor, 8 against, and 45 abstentions.
The resolution condemned the violence and called for a cease-fire, the protection of civilians, humanitarian access to the Gaza Strip, and respect for international humanitarian law. It also called for the Secretary-General to report back within 15 days with efforts to secure a cease-fire and to help ensure humanitarian access.
India's abstention was noted due to its traditionally supportive stance towards Palestine. However, India's representative at the UN clarified that their abstention was due to the resolution's lack of balance, as it did not mention the rocket attacks by Hamas into Israeli territory.
The conflict between Israel and Palestine escalated in May, with both sides launching attacks. The violence resulted in the deaths of over 200 people, the majority of whom were Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. The conflict ended with a cease-fire on May 21.
