The Delhi Police has informed the Union Ministry of Home Affairs about an incident involving a foreign national employed at a European embassy who allegedly put up posters of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the capital with the word “Wanted” printed on them.

According to a report by The Indian Express, the incident came to light early on the morning of May 29 when police personnel from the Chanakyapuri station noticed two posters affixed to electric poles—one near Carmel Convent School on Malcha Marg and another close to the American Embassy School.

Senior officers ordered the immediate removal of the posters and launched a probe, reviewing footage from around 50 CCTV cameras in the diplomatic enclave.

After identifying the individual involved, police reportedly visited the staffer's residence. Reports indicate that the individual works at the Belgian embassy, although there is no formal confirmation.

Given the person’s diplomatic status, legal action may be constrained by the protections offered under international diplomatic immunity. As a result, the Delhi Police has sought guidance from higher authorities.

Officials from the New Delhi range were directed by Police Headquarters to submit a detailed report to the Ministry of Home Affairs, which is expected to consult with the Ministry of External Affairs on further steps.

This incident comes amid rising global outrage over Israel’s military operations in Gaza, which have persisted for nearly two years. A growing international consensus has condemned the actions as genocidal. India, once a staunch supporter of the Palestinian cause, has recently adopted a more ambivalent stance.

Last year, the country abstained from two key United Nations resolutions—one in the General Assembly calling for an end to the Israeli occupation of Gaza and the West Bank, and another at the Human Rights Council demanding an immediate ceasefire and an arms embargo against Israel.
