'Cold blooded murder': Priyanka Gandhi slams Israel, says 'genocide of Palestinian people' shows humanity means nothing to them

NEW DELHI: Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Wednesday criticised the Israeli government, stating that the "cold-blooded murder of over 400 Palestinian civilians" proves that humanity holds no value for them. She further remarked that the more they act, " more they reveal themselves for the cowards they truly are."
Sharing a post on X, the Wayanad MP said, "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."
"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," she added.

Her remarks followed Israel's recent airstrikes across the Gaza Strip early Tuesday, which claimed the lives of over 400 Palestinians, disrupting a

ceasefire agreement

that had been in effect since January.
Further hailing the

Palestinian people

for their bravery, Vadra strongly condemned Israel's actions, stating that: "The more criminally the Israeli government 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 added.

Earlier, during the Winter Session of Parliament, Priyanka Gandhi displayed her support for Palestine by carrying a bag featuring the word "Palestine" along with emblems, including a watermelon—a symbol commonly associated with

Palestinian solidarity
