Official sources said last week’s BRICS meeting of officials on the Middle East could not produce a consensus document because of the wide difference in stances among the members involved in the conflict.According to Indian officials, all other efforts to bridge the gap were not successful. India holds the chairmanship of BRICS this year and will host the foreign ministers’ meeting next month, ahead of the summit later this year. Due to lack of consensus, no joint statement could be reached in the meeting of junior foreign ministers and special envoys last week.Instead, a statement from the Chairman was issued stating that members expressed deep concern over the recent conflict in the Middle East and offered views and assessments on the matter. The discussions covered the Palestine issue and the situation in Gaza, including the provision of humanitarian assistance, the role of UNRWA, the zero-tolerance approach towards terrorism, welcoming the ceasefire in Lebanon.While Iran is seeking BRICS solidarity against the US and Iran, urging India to work towards a consensus, a joint statement remains elusive with the UAE and Saudi Arabia – which are in favor of the conflict – even in the grouping of major emerging economies. Government sources denied any softening of India’s position on the Palestine issue and reiterated that India remains committed to a two-state solution.“On the Palestine issue, India recently reached an agreed position with the Arab League, including Palestine, on January 26. India has been clear in its support for the two-state solution,” a source said, adding that several BRICS countries had supported the Sharm el-Sheikh peace summit and UNSC resolution 2803, which endorsed a comprehensive 20-point peace plan to end the conflict in Gaza, including the establishment of a peace board.Official sources said these have been remarkable developments in the last year.Since the beginning of the conflict in Gaza, India has provided approximately 70 MT humanitarian assistance in two tranches, including 16.5 MT medicines and medical supplies. It also released $5 million last year and another $5 million this year to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA). Recently, 65 tons of medicines were also sent to UNRWA and the Palestine Ministry of Health in October and November 2024.According to Indian officials, India’s policy towards Palestine is long-standing and includes support for a negotiated two-state solution and the establishment of a sovereign, independent and viable State of Palestine living at peace with Israel within secure and recognized borders. India also supports Palestine’s membership in the United Nations.

The era of repair has come,” Lapid said in another post.Both Lapid and Bennett have been vocal critics of Netanyahu’s leadership, particularly over his handling of the conflict through October 2023.The two leaders previously joined to form a coalition government in June 2021, briefly ending Netanyahu’s long tenure.

Who is Naftali Bennett?

Naftali Bennett is a right-wing Israeli leader and former Prime Minister who first came to power in June 2021 as part of a broad coalition government. A longtime supporter of Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, Bennett served as an adviser to Benjamin Netanyahu before emerging as a strong political rival.He is a former Israeli commando officer and a successful tech entrepreneur who sold his start-up for $145 million in 2005. Over the years, he has led several right-wing parties and built a reputation that appeals to parts of Israel’s younger generation, especially during the ongoing Gaza conflict. According to AFP, opinion polls now show that he is among the strongest challengers to Netanyahu in the upcoming elections.

Yair Lapid is a centrist leader and former Prime Minister who currently plays an important role in Israel’s opposition politics. After a successful career as a television journalist, he entered politics in 2012 and founded the Yesh Atid party, which went on to become one of Israel’s largest political forces.Lapid briefly served as acting Prime Minister in 2022 after Bennett’s coalition collapsed. The son of Holocaust survivor and former minister Tommy Lapid and writer Shulamit Lapid, he has since remained as a leading opposition voice. Netanyahu, 76, is expected to lead his Likud party into the election. He remains Israel’s longest-serving prime minister, with more than 18 years in office across multiple terms, AFP reports.Earlier in the day, Netanyahu warned that Hezbollah’s actions were undermining the ceasefire with Lebanon and promised a strong response. “It should be understood that Hezbollah’s violations are, in practice, dismantling the ceasefire,” Netanyahu said during the weekly cabinet meeting.“We are acting strictly in accordance with the arrangements agreed with the United States and, incidentally, with Lebanon,” he said.“This means not only freedom of action to respond to attacks, which is obvious, but also freedom to deter immediate threats and even emerging threats,” he said.However, Hezbollah rejected these allegations as baseless and accused Israel of violating the ceasefire. The group said it would continue to respond to Israeli actions and maintain its presence in southern Lebanon.
