United Nations, January 29 (IANS): As the Gaza peace deal enters the second phase, India has commended the US efforts to end the conflict. Over the last two years, India has contributed to the humanitarian relief efforts, Harish said, sending nearly 135 metric tonnes of medicines and supplies. “In cumulative terms, the extent of support to the Palestinian people currently stands at over $170 million”, he added. A key feature of the Gaza peace deal is the creation of the Board of Peace to implement the phased process of bringing peace and reconstructing the territory devastated by Israeli retaliation for the Hamas attack. Trump invited India to join the Board, but India has so far not responded to the invitation.
