Explanation:
India was among 14 countries that abstained from voting on a resolution at the United Nations Human Rights Council to launch an investigation into alleged violations and crimes during the 11-day conflict between Israel and Hamas in Gaza. On 17 September 1950, India officially recognised the State of Israel. After decades of non-aligned and pro-Arab policy, India formally established relations with Israel when it opened an embassy in Tel Aviv in January 1992. The two countries have an extensive economic, military, and strategic relationship.
