Israel, located in the Middle East, was formally established as a state on May 14, 1948, following a declaration by David Ben-Gurion, its first Prime Minister. This came after decades of efforts by the Zionist movement and the end of the British Mandate over Palestine.
Israel operates as a parliamentary democracy, with a President as a ceremonial head of state and a Prime Minister as the head of government. The unicameral legislature, the Knesset, consists of 120 members elected through proportional representation. Israel’s economy is highly developed, with a strong focus on technology, defense, and innovation.
In recent years, Israel has worked toward improving relations with its Arab neighbors, notably through the Abraham Accords signed in 2020, which normalized ties with the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain. Despite this, its relations with Palestine and other Arab states remain tense, particularly around contentious issues such as the status of Jerusalem and the future of Israeli settlements in the West Bank.
War broke out in October 2023 and the region plunged into intense conflict after Hamas launched a large-scale attack on Israel. This violence over a year extended significantly to parts of Lebanon and Syria so much so that the ICC issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, as well as Mohammed Deif, a commander from the genocidal terror group Hamas. A ceasefire came into force on January 2025 with both Israel and Hamas promising to return hostages, however, the broader question of a two-state solution persists amid the dwindling rights of Palestinians and threats posed by insurgent groups.
I can see the pain the author has gone through to write the piece. I have a few questions, hope the author of “ThePrint” would come forward to answer.
(1) How would they like India to not ignore the plight of Hindus in Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Kashmir. How would they like India to step up to ensure that the “shrinking status of minorities” including that of Hindus are well cared of in Pakistan, Bangladesh, Kashmir, Malaysia, Indonesia and so on?
(2) Are they also concerned about the Kashmiris whose houses were burnt and who were forced to leave their everything behind and save their lives?
(3) Why should India interfere in the domestic politics of a sovereign nation? Are there no international rules that India should stop up to protect Muslims?
(4) Is there any Muslim country that has even condemned Exodus of Kashmiris, let alone keeping in mind their shrinking status in their own homeland for thousands of years?
I don’t think the report is factually correct. Israeli-Arab population is growing at a faster pace than Israeli’s national population growth rate
