Is Israel Buying Explosives from India for the Gaza War? | Vantage with Palki Sharma

now let's tell you about Israel's war in Gaza today they stepped the bombing of Rafa AIS F deal remains a distant Prospect it seems like Israel will continue its War now the question is will this war be fought with Indian explosives and I'll tell you why I asked this a video is doing the rounds it was apparently shot in Gaza these are the remains of a missile and going by one account was fired by an Israeli War Plane now look closely you'll see a label it says Made in India we haven't been able to confirm these claims Pro Palestinian Outlets are sharing this video they say Indian explosives are enabling Israel's war neither India nor Israel have commented also this is not the first time that a story like this has come to light let me show you another one from the month of May where Spain had refused permission to an Indian ship it wanted to dock at a Spanish Port Spain did not allow it why because Reports say the ship was transporting explosives it began its Journey from India's Chennai which is a southern city in India and the ship's destination was Israel's hia port a Spanish newspaper published this story it claimed that the ship was carrying 27 tons of explosive material now Spain as we know has taken a tough position against Israel it opposes a war in Gaza it has also recognized the state of Palestine one of the four four European countries that have done so there was a time when Spain used to sell arms to Israel but all those supplies have now stopped as the war progressed Spain hardened its position here's how their foreign minister explained the move against the Indian ship and I'm quoting this will be a consistent policy with any ship carrying arms to Israel that wants to call at Spanish ports the foreign ministry will systematically reject such stopovers for one OB reason the Middle East does not need more weapons it needs more peace again India gave no response to the statement but let's dig a Little Deeper is India really supporting Israel's war is India arming the Israeli forces against Palestinians officially the government's policy remains consistent it wants Israel to exercise restraint it backs the idea of a two-state solution in fact India had condemned Israel's recent attack on a refugee camp in Rafa the heartbreaking loss of Civilian lives in the displacement camp in Rafa is a matter of deep concern for us we have consistently called for protection of Civilian population and respect for international humanitarian law in the ongoing conflict we also note that the Israeli side has already accepted responsibility for it as a tragic incident and announced an investigation into the incident new delhi's approach has been balanced calling out the terrorism of Hamas but also urging Israel to exercise restraint experts say any material support from India is out of the question but Indian explosives can still end up in Israeli hands through other means here's what some Reports say that third parties could purchase Indian explosives potentially on Israel's behalf and Supply them to Israel thir party vendors like arms dealers are also a possible route they offer alternative Outlets to buyers like Israel you see not all arms deals have to go through the government and loopholes like these can be exploited so here's what New Delhi should do consider the Optics and take action accordingly there's also history to consider for decades now Israel has been a steady defense partner for India Israel and India established diplomatic ties only in 1992 but their defense partners began earlier in 1971 when India was fighting a war against Pakistan Israel offered support it supplied India with arms ammunition and instructors despite having no diplomatic ties with New Delhi in 1999 when India fought Pakistan in Carill Israel supported India with more military equipment so New Delhi has a lot to consider what Israel is doing and the allegations of genocide in Gaza and the history that it shares with Tel Aviv India should consider all its options carefully first post reports from the world's second largest continent hello I'm Allison MCR a very warm welcome from Durban South Africa we get you the news and the newsmakers from Africa from elections to climate change to Innovations and opportunities as the world's attention shifts we report from Africa the heart of the global South join me every weekday live on first [Music] post for
