In a recent tweet on February 26, 2026, Prime Minister Narendra Modi reiterated India's support for Israel, but faced renewed criticism for his silence on the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Opposition leaders, including Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi, have intensified their calls for Modi to address the staggering death toll of over 72,000 Palestinians since October 2023. Gandhi emphasized the need for Modi to acknowledge the ongoing violence, stating, 'Hope PM Modi mentions genocide in Gaza while addressing Knesset.' This backlash highlights the growing concerns over Modi's perceived moral stance amidst the conflict, as critics label his visit a political endorsement of Israel's actions without addressing the humanitarian implications.
