BRICS Consensus Stalemate: Divergent Stances on U.S.-Israel-Iran Conflict
During a BRICS meeting in New Delhi, differences over the U.S.-Israel-Iran conflict halted India's attempt to reach a consensus. The meeting concluded with India's unchanged stance on the Palestine issue. Despite support for a two-state solution, a collective statement could not be achieved due to member disagreements.

New Delhi's recent BRICS meeting highlighted sharp disagreements among member states regarding the U.S.-Israel conflict with Iran, stalling India's efforts to build a unified stance. Official sources confirmed that India's position on Palestine remained consistent despite the lack of a consensus outcome.
The gathering involved BRICS Deputy Foreign Ministers and special envoys, yet ended without a collective statement, largely due to differing positions among members deeply involved in the conflict. Notably, the United Arab Emirates' stance played a significant role in the meeting's inconclusive result.
India, the current BRICS chair, had earlier reached an agreement with the Arab League on Palestine, underscoring its support for a two-State solution alongside Israel. As these deliberations unfolded, members expressed deep concern over Middle Eastern conflicts, yet stark differences impeded progress towards a unified declaration.
