What's shameful is your deceit: Israeli envoy's response to Priyanka's remark; Congress objects, demands govt action

Congress' Priyanka Gandhi on Tuesday said the Israeli state is committing "genocide" and it is "shameful" that the Indian government is standing "silent". Hitting back at her, Israeli ambassador to India Reuven Azar said, "What is shameful is your deceit. Israel Killed 25,000 Hamas terrorists. The terrible cost in human lives derives from Hamas' heinous tactics of hiding behind civilians, their shooting of people trying to evacuate or receive assistance and their rocket fire."

Congress slammed Azar's remarks and demanded that the Indian government take serious exception to the ambassador's response.
