Speaking on this major geopolitical breakthrough in an exclusive interview to ANI, the Palestinian Ambassador to India, Abdullah M Abu Shawesh, strongly defended the agreement, dismissing claims that the deal signifies a strategic loss for any player.

"When there is a peace, no one will be defeated. Everyone will win," Ambassador Abu Shawesh asserted, challenging the narrative of zero-sum political outcomes. The envoy added that "peace means win for everyone, except the fanatic people, the Israeli current government," noting that these extremist factions believe war is their only gain.
