Ambassador R Ravindra said India has consistently called for direct peace negotiations between the parties.
India has expressed deep concern over developments in the West Bank, Jerusalem and Gaza, underscoring the importance of the international community and the UN Security Council sending a "strong signal" against any step that would prevent the possibility of durable peace between Israel and Palestine.
Speaking at the Security Council meeting on 'Question of Palestine', India's Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN, Ambassador R Ravindra said India is also following the developments in Masafer Yatta with concern, noting that tensions have risen over the potential legal eviction of the Palestinian families.
"We remain deeply concerned by developments in the West Bank, Jerusalem and Gaza. Violent attacks and the killing of civilians have taken many Palestinian and Israeli lives," he said on Monday.
"Acts of destruction and provocation are also continuing. We have consistently advocated against all acts of violence, and reiterate our call for the complete cessation of violence," he said.
