 India Risks Complicity in Gaza Genocide by Supplying Arms to Israel, Says Amnesty International

The Pakistan Times — Islamabad, July 31, 2026

Amnesty International has released a detailed investigation accusing India of continuing to supply weapons and military components to Israel throughout its war in Gaza, despite what the rights group calls a clear and substantial risk that those weapons could be used against Palestinian civilians. The 42-page report, called Made in India, is based on shipment-level trade data rather than speculation, and the numbers it lays out are hard to ignore.

According to Amnesty's investigators, Indian state-owned and private companies sent at least 2,596 arms shipments to Israel between October 7, 2023 and November 30, 2025. That includes machine gun components, artillery shells supplied to major Israeli defence firm Elbit Systems, explosive warheads used in SkyStriker drones, and armoured vehicle parts. Broken down further, the report counts roughly 390,000 small arms parts, close to 565,000 pieces of explosive ordnance including drone warheads and shell casings, and nearly 300 military vehicle components, all funnelled to large Israeli companies that directly supply the Israeli military.

Amnesty's Secretary General Agnès Callamard did not hold back on what this means for India's legal position. Given that the International Court of Justice already recognised a plausible risk of genocide against Palestinians in Gaza, she argues India cannot credibly claim it didn't know what it was risking by continuing these exports. The report goes further than just documenting shipments too, pointing out that India has no explicit requirement for human rights due diligence before military exports go out, that the whole export process lacks real transparency, and that India still hasn't joined the international Arms Trade Treaty that's supposed to govern exactly this kind of trade.

Amnesty says it wrote to both the Indian government and the nine companies named in the report back in June and July, laying out everything it found. As of publication, none of them had responded. The organisation is now calling on India to immediately stop authorising arms exports to Israel and to make sure companies under its jurisdiction aren't contributing to what international law defines as serious crimes.

This isn't the first time India has faced this kind of accusation either. Earlier reports had already alleged New Delhi supplied combat drones and other weapons components to Israel during the war, so this latest investigation adds harder numbers to allegations that had mostly circulated before as broader claims.

What's notable is how differently this story has travelled depending on where you look. Regional outlets across South Asia and the Middle East, along with human rights publications, covered the findings in real depth. Several of the world's biggest Western news organisations, by contrast, largely stayed quiet on it, a gap that's drawn its own criticism separately from the report itself.

US Sea Drones Used Against Iran: How They Work and Why It Matters

  US Deploys Explosive Sea Drones The Pakistan Times  Islamabad Times Reports indicate that for the first time, the United States has used one-way attack sea drones in a major military operation against Iran. These drones are small, fast, unmanned boats that carry explosive payloads and can destroy enemy ships or coastal targets. Ukraine has successfully used similar drones against Russia, and Iran has also been reported to develop and use such unmanned maritime systems. The US deployment of this technology in a formal operation marks a significant shift in modern warfare. How Do These Drones Work? The US system is not just a single drone but a network. According to US officials, the Corsair drone is 24 feet long, can carry up to 1,000 pounds of equipment, and travels at 35 knots. It is equipped with 360-degree cameras and radar. It has already been used in the Gulf of Oman to rescue the crew of a US Apache helicopter. The second drone, GARC, is a 5-meter-long autonomous boat ...

  The Pakistan Times  Islamabad Times   World's Poorest Countries 2026 Despite decades of global development efforts, a small group of nations remain trapped at the very bottom of the world's income rankings, with average annual incomes per person still measured in the hundreds of dollars. According to Focus Economics' 2026 consensus forecasts, The Pakistan Times Live looks at the five poorest countries in the world this year by GDP per capita, and examines why they remain stuck in poverty. Note: rankings can vary slightly between sources such as the IMF, World Bank, and private forecasters, depending on methodology and the exchange rates used.) 1. South Sudan  GDP per capita: approximately $445 South Sudan holds the unfortunate distinction of being the world's poorest country by this measure. Years of civil war, chronic political instability, and a near-total dependence on oil revenue have left the economy fragile and unable to diversify. Disputes over oil fiel...

How Volker Türk Secured a New Term as UN Human Rights Chief Despite US, Israeli and Russian Opposition no The Pakistan Times — Islamabad, July 25, 2026 The United Nations General Assembly has voted overwhelmingly to grant Volker Türk a second four-year term as the UN's human rights chief, despite strong objections from the United States, Israel, and Russia, making him the first person to serve two full terms in the role since it was created in 1993. The Pakistan Times explains who Türk is, why his reappointment proved contentious, and what the vote reveals about divisions within the world body. The Vote Member states in the 193-nation General Assembly voted 144 in favour to 10 against, with 13 abstentions, to reappoint Türk on Friday. Ahead of the vote, the assembly had also rejected a US proposal to delay the decision by roughly a week, as well as a separate Russian proposal that would have extended Türk's term only until the end of 2026 rather than granting him a full four mo...
