While I support peace, I hope this doesn't affect India's strategic interests. We have good relations with both Israel and Arab nations. Our foreign policy should remain balanced.

The two-state solution is the only way forward. But will Hamas and Israeli hardliners allow this to happen? Both sides need to show more flexibility for lasting peace.

As an expat in India, I appreciate how this country has maintained principled neutrality. The UAE-UK move is welcome, but implementation will be the real challenge.

Recognition is good, but what about Gaza reconstruction? The international community must ensure funds reach actual people, not militant groups. India can play a role here with its development expertise.

While I support Palestinian rights, I'm concerned about timing. With elections in US and UK, is this just political posturing? Hope it's not another empty promise like before.
