New Delhi: The Congress on Friday accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of demonstrating "extreme moral cowardice" by standing out as Israel's strongest supporter, and said his stance is a "betrayal" of all that India stands for and is unacceptable to crores of Indians.
The remarks came after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly said at a conference in West Bank that Israel faced delegitimisation all over the world except in India.
In a post on X, Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh said Prime Minister Modi never condemned the targeted assassination of the Iranian head of state, never condemned the ongoing Israeli genocide in Gaza and maintained total silence on the forced dispossession and displacement of lakhs of Palestinians in the occupied West Bank.

"Mr. Modi has stood out as Mr. Netanyahu's strongest supporter. Israel is embedded in the Modani conglomerate. He has been demonstrating extreme moral cowardice and his stance is a betrayal of all that India stands for. It is shameful and unacceptable to crores of Indians," Ramesh alleged in his post.
