(Web Desk) Congress leader and MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra strongly criticised Israel after its recent strike on Gaza killing more than 400 Palestinians.

The Congress leader described Israel’s actions as ‘cold-blooded murder’ calling the Jew state ‘cowards’.

On social media platform X, Priyanka wrote, “The cold-blooded murder of over 400 innocent civilians including 130 children by the Israeli government, shows that humanity means nothing to them. Their actions reflect an inherent weakness and inability to face their own truth.”

She criticised the Western countries for their collusion in Israel’s act of genocide against the Palestinians. “Whether western powers choose to recognise this or to acknowledge their collusion in the genocide of the Palesitinian people or not, all citizens of the world who have a conscience (including many Israelis), see it. The more criminally the Israeli government acts, the more they reveal themselves for the cowards they truly are,” she also wrote.

Congress General Secretary commended the resilience of the Palestinian people in the face of Israeli aggression. “The courage of the Palestinian people continues to shine. Despite enduring immense suffering, their spirit remains strong and unyielding. Satyamev Jayate,” Gandhi stated.

On Tuesday, Gaza’s health ministry reported that at least 404 people were killed and over 560 injured in airstrikes ordered by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, with most casualties being women and children.

As per The Times of India, Hamas claimed that the strikes killed at least six senior officials, including its top civilian leader and key security chiefs.

Meanwhile, the White House attributed the renewed conflict to Hamas. National Security Council spokesman Brian Hughes stated that Hamas could have extended the ceasefire by releasing hostages but instead opted for war.

Reports indicate that the Israeli military has instructed residents to evacuate eastern Gaza and move toward central areas, suggesting possible renewed ground operations. This escalation occurs as aid organizations warn of depleting essential supplies, two weeks after Israel restricted the entry of food, medicine, fuel, and other necessities for Gaza’s two million residents.
