Briefing reporters on the party's three-day central committee meeting which began here today, CPI(M) leader Sitaram Yechury said India cannot be a party to the "inhuman Israeli juggernaut"."India must exercise its influence among developing countries to work for an immediate ceasefire and for eventual realisation of the Palestinian state", he said.
The central committee adopted a resolution condemning the Israeli military aggrression on Gaza, he said.
Yechury said the Congress-led UPA government at the Centre has identified itself as an 'ally' of Israel, which is 'harmful' to the country's interests and spoiled India's traditional support to the Palestinian cause.
Referring to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's statement on Thursday condemning the Israeli attack, he said it would remain mere rhetoric unless India, with a very large military trade with Israel, immediately suspends its military cooperation, including launching of spy satellites.
Unless this is done, India will continue to be seen as an ally of Israel, he said.
