Amnesty Report: India’s Arms Exports to Israel Raise Genocide Concerns
Amnesty International, a human‑rights group, says that India has been sending a lot of weapons to Israel.
They counted more than 2,500 shipments since the war started in October 2023.
The parts include small‑arms pieces, shells for big guns, and parts for drones.
Amnesty worries that these weapons could help Israel in ways that might hurt people in Gaza.
They say India should follow the Genocide Convention, a rule that says a country must stop genocide.
India says its trade with Israel is separate from its views on Palestine.
The report also says India’s laws about exporting weapons are not strict enough.
It says India should check how its weapons are used.
The report was released on July 30, 2026.
It shows a big debate about whether India is helping or not.
Amnesty International reports India exported at least 2,596 shipments of weapons to Israel since Oct 7 2023.
Exports include 390,516 small‑arms parts, 564,970 explosive‑ordnance parts, and 298 military‑vehicle components.
Indian firms, many joint ventures with Israeli companies, supply drones, artillery shells, and other military equipment.
Amnesty warns these exports may amount to complicity in alleged genocide in Gaza, citing the ICJ ruling and India’s Genocide Convention obligations.
The report highlights gaps in India’s arms‑export legal framework, lacking human‑rights due diligence and transparency.

“In light of the International Court of Justice’s provisional measures orders recognising a plausible risk of genocide against Palestinians in Gaza, the Indian authorities cannot credibly argue that they did not know that continuing to authorise and facilitate arms transfers to Israel carries a substantial risk of contributing to serious violations of international law.”
