In light of recent Hamas attacks on Israel and subsequent Israeli retaliatory strikes on the Gaza Strip, two prominent Muslim organisations in India have expressed their concerns and called for peace in the Israel-Palestine conflict.

The Pasmanda Muslim Mahaz, an activist group based in Patna, offered condolences to the victims of the ongoing war and emphasised its opposition to all forms of violence. They strongly believe that the dispute should be resolved through dialogue.

“Since this issue is of international level, All India Pasmanda Muslims will support whatever strategy the Government of India will take in the interest of the country,” it added.

The Muslim Students Organisation of India (MSO) has also released a statement condemning the attacks on civilians and the hostage-taking of women and children during the ongoing war in the Middle East.

"MSO is of view that there is a need for dialogue and for negotiations on a two-state solution to resume, and condemned recent attack by Hamas, on innocent civilians, Islam never allowed such barbaric and inhumane act," it stated.

The MSO acknowledged that the "Palestinian explosion" is a result of the continued Israeli occupation and assault on the Al-Aqsa Mosque, the annexation of Palestinian lands and provocation of Palestinian sentiments".

In addition, the MSO appealed the students and youth to refrain from posting sensitive and dangerous content on social media, emphasising that such actions can lead to communal tension and os against the country's national interest.
