Modi's Israel visit 'ill-timed', creates perception of political endorsement of military action: Congress

The Congress criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Israel, calling it "shameful" and "ill-timed." The party expressed concern that the visit creates a perception of political endorsement of military escalation and risks undermining India's commitment to international law. Salman Khurshid, Chairman of the Congress Foreign Affairs Department, stated that such actions jeopardize India's principles on sovereignty, territorial integrity, and peaceful resolution of disputes. He urged the government to balance diplomatic considerations with strategic interests and avoid actions that could be perceived as sacrificing national principles for political gain.
