Amnesty Report: India's Defence Boom Fuels Arms Supplies to Israel

Amnesty Report: India's Defence Boom Fuels Arms Supplies to Israel
‘Aatmanirbhar Bharat’ and blood: The darker side of India’s defence boom · thehansindia.com

Some countries make weapons to protect themselves and to sell to other countries.

A group called Amnesty International checks whether countries are being fair and kind to people.

Amnesty found out that India has been sending many weapon parts to a country called Israel.

Israel is fighting in a place called Gaza.

A special group from the United Nations said Israel's actions in Gaza may be very harmful and against the rules.

Amnesty says India helped Israel by sending parts for guns, bombs, drones, and military vehicles.

India says it has rules to check where its weapons go.

Amnesty says India should stop sending weapons to Israel, and other countries should stop doing business with Israeli weapons companies.

Many people think countries should tell everyone more clearly about what weapons they sell and where those weapons end up.
