The general secretary of India's National Congress (INC) has strongly condemned the “cold-blooded murder” of hundreds of Palestinian civilians by Israel in the Gaza Strip, saying the recent killing shows that “humanity means nothing” to the occupying regime.

Priyanka Gandhi Vadra made the remarks in a post on X on Wednesday, a day after over 400 Palestinians, including women and children, were massacred in renewed Israeli attacks on Gaza.

“The cold-blooded murder of over 400 innocent civilians, including 130 children, by the Israeli [regime] shows that humanity means nothing to them,” Priyanka said.

She went on to say that Israel's actions reflect an "inherent weakness and inability to face their own truth," while criticizing “the complicity” of Western powers. 

“Whether Western powers choose to recognize this or to acknowledge their collusion in the genocide of the Palestinian people or not, all citizens of the world who have a conscience (including many Israelis), see it,” she said.  

The leader of India's main opposition party further noted that the more “criminally” the Israeli regime acts, “the more they reveal themselves for the cowards they truly are.”

“On the other hand, the bravery of the Palestinian people prevails. They have endured unimaginable suffering yet their spirit remains resilient and unwavering,” she said.  

Over 400 Palestinians, including women and children, were killed on Tuesday after the occupying entity resumed its merciless war on Gaza, undermining the fragile two-month-long truce agreement with the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas.

Overnight Israeli airstrikes on Gaza, which were the deadliest since a ceasefire began in the besieged territory, drew a wave of condemnations worldwide.

The surprise airstrikes have raised fears of fully reigniting the 17-month-long genocidal onslaught on Gaza.

Israel launched its brutal war on Gaza on October 7, 2023, but the regime failed to achieve its declared objectives despite killing more than 48,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children.

The Tel Aviv regime accepted the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas’s longstanding negotiation terms under the three-phase Gaza truce, which began on January 19.

Later, however, Israel refused to move forward to the second stage of the ceasefire, which required it to withdraw the occupation troops from Gaza.
