'Moral cowardice': PM Modi's Israel visit under fire as US-Israel launch strikes on Iran

Prime Minister Narendra Modi's recent visit to Israel has drawn sharp criticism from opposition leaders in India, particularly from Congress spokesperson Jairam Ramesh. With Israel and the United States launching coordinated strikes on Iran, Ramesh condemned Modi's visit as an act of 'moral cowardice.' He argued that the timing of the trip, amidst escalating military actions, raises ethical concerns about India's stance on international conflicts. Ramesh emphasized that Modi's decision to proceed with the visit despite these developments undermines India's commitment to peace and diplomacy in the region. The backdrop of this controversy is marked by rising tensions in the Middle East, with Iran being a significant player in regional geopolitics. As the situation unfolds, the implications of Modi's visit for India's foreign policy and its relations with both Israel and Iran remain to be seen.
