e saw the opinion piece published in The Jakarta Post on July 14 entitled Trump’s letter makes BRICS a strategic bet for Indonesia by Abdul Khalik where he refers to India’s position on Palestine.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has himself on multiple occasions reaffirmed India’s unwavering support to the people of Palestine, including in his meeting with Mr. Mahmoud Abbas, President of Palestine on Sept. 22, 2024.
