Palestinian envoy to India slams ‘jungle law’ in Iran-U.S. conflict
The Hindu
Palestinian envoy criticizes military dominance in Iran-U.S. conflict, calling it "jungle law" that undermines future for vulnerable nations.
Palestinian Ambassador to India Abdullah M. Abu Shawesh strongly criticised the growing reliance on military might in international disputes, terming it "jungle law" that benefits only those possessing superior weaponry while stripping defenceless nations of any viable future.
In an exclusive interview with PTI on Tuesday (March 2, 2026), Mr. Abu Shawesh expressed deep concern over statements from major powers indicating that the window for negotiations had been closed.
"When anyone talks about the time for negotiation being over, it means they will rely on muscle and weapons. This is utterly against international law," he said.
He criticised the reliance on military might, describing it as "jungle law" that favoured those with superior weaponry and leaves defenceless nations, particularly in the global south, without a future.
The ambassador pointed out that Israel had opportunities early in the Gaza conflict to secure the release of hostages without widespread destruction but opted for prolonged military action.
