India complicit with Israel in massacre of Palestinians, admits former envoy to India
New Delhi: In evidence suggesting that India is complicit with Israel in carrying out massacres of innocent Palestinians, former Israeli Ambassador to India Daniel Carmon has confessed that New Delhi is supplying weapons to Israel in its war on Gaza.
According to Kashmir Media Service, in an interview with Israel’s Ynetnews, Carmon also acknowledged that Israel was one of the few nations that provided military assistance to India during its conflict with Pakistan, and the Indians are now “returning the favor”.
“The Indians always remind us that Israel was there for them during the Kargil war… The Indians don’t forget this and might now be returning the favour,” Carmon, who served as Israel’s ambassador to India from 2014 to 2018, said.
During the 1999 Kargil War, Israel provided military supplies and equipment, including guided munitions and drones.
Daniel Carmon’s remarks come amid reports that India has supplied drones and artillery shells to Israel in its war with Gaza as the Middle Eastern country ran low on supplies.
In February, media reports said that India had provided Israel with advanced Hermes 900 drones manufactured in Hyderabad.
The Hyderabad facility was set up by Israel to produce supplies for the Indian military. However, around 20 drones were sent to be used by the Israeli Defence Forces, the report said.
In May, Spain prevented a cargo vessel, ‘Marianne Danica’, from docking at the Cartagena port on its way to Israel. The vessel, which was coming from Chennai, was carrying 27 tonnes of military supplies, Ynetnews reported.
Israel’s war with Gaza has now entered its eighth month, killing around 38,000 people and displacing lakhs.
