• President Trump imposed 50% tariffs on Indian exports earlier this year, intensifying tensions in bilateral trade relations.
• Asaduddin Owaisi branded Netanyahu a “war criminal and genocidaire” over allegations of 65,000 Palestinian deaths in Gaza and an outstanding ICC arrest warrant against him.
• The AIMIM chief also accused Israel of displacing 1.2 million people in Gaza and defying two adverse ICJ rulings.
• Prime Minister Modi has not publicly addressed either Netanyahu’s counsel offer or Owaisi’s criticism.
