Speaking in the special session in this matter, India recognized the newly declared ceasefire and called on all parties to reveal intense restraint, diverging from activities that worsen anxieties and refrain from any further efforts to unilaterally alter the present status-quo, such as in East Jerusalem and its neighbourhoods.
“We remain concerned about the ongoing violence in Jerusalem, notably at Haram Al Sharif/Temple Mount along with other earthly lands, and concerning the potential flooding procedure in Sheikh Jarrah and Silwan neighbourhoods in East Jerusalem, a place that’s an element of an agreement facilitated by the UN,” stated the authorities in its own statement.
India said it stayed firmly convinced that conversation was the only feasible alternative that could effectively deal with the problems confronting the area and its inhabitants.
