With 24 members voting in favour & 9 against, resolution is adopted," tweeted Indian envoy to United Nations (Geneva), Indra Mani Pandey tweeted.India's decision to abstain at the UNHRC during the resolution to probe the Gaza conflict is not new and the country has abstained on previous occasions too, said the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) earlier this month.Responding to a media query, MEA spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said that the Foreign Minister of the Palestinian National Authority had written letters to foreign ministers of countries who abstained at the UNHRC resolution."Palestine has written to all the countries who abstained. We have abstained on previous occasions too, it's not new and explains our position," he said.The fighting between Israel and Hamas began on May 10, after Gaza militants fired barrages of rockets at Israel in protest to the Israeli measures in East Jerusalem. A tit-for-tat trade of fire broke out, where Israeli fighter jets carried out hundreds of airstrikes on the Gaza Strip.Palestinian Health Ministery claimed that at least 277 Palestinian residents died in the latest conflict escalation with Israel.
