Sawesh detailed the timeline of Palestinian struggles, referencing key historical events such as the 1917 Balfour Declaration and the expulsion faced by Palestinians, paralleling it with India's fight for independence. The ambassador highlighted the camaraderie and support from various Jewish and Christian communities toward the Palestinian cause.
