Amnesty International claims Indian-made weapons reached Israel during Gaza war

A new report tracks military exports from India to Israel, raising concerns that the transfers could contribute to alleged war crimes in Gaza.

The story

Amnesty International has released a report tracking Indian-made weapons exports, which alleges that military components from India reached Israel during the war in Gaza.

According to the human rights organization, these exports of Indian-made weapons and military components continued even after October 2023. Amnesty warns that such transfers could contribute to alleged war crimes and atrocities in the conflict.

Following these findings, Amnesty International is urging the Indian government to immediately suspend all military exports to Israel.

The report highlights India's complex foreign policy position. While India officially recognises the State of Palestine—with Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently meeting Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in New York to reiterate support for peace and stability—it has also maintained strong defence ties with Israel.

The ongoing exports raise critical questions about the legal and moral implications for countries supplying arms to Israel as it faces accusations of genocide.
