Abubacker has urged the Indian government to mobilize diplomatic effort on urgent basis to play its role in stopping the potential genocide of Palestinian Muslims. He also urged local and international human rights organizations to fight against the atrocities on the Palestinian community.

He urged the international community to pressurize the Israeli government to take urgent measures for ending the massacre of Palestinians.
“We call upon the UN and the international community to condemn this act of aggression and call for a halt in Israel’s murderous action”, Abubacker added.
