The issue is too complicated that most dont believe a two state solution is even viable. The palestine state, even if it comes to be, will need an army strong enough to keep Israel at bay and respect its sovereignty. And hence will have to be under the protection 9f saudi or Iran and neither will be something israel would want and the geopolitics is swayed by what Israel would want.
India honestly isnt too keen on playing peacemaker. Qatar is playing that role. India is quietly abstaining from voting because the scenario playing out (with the permission of the global community) sets precedence to enter POK should there ever be another terror attack in India. The politicians will save that for a day when they need to rally votes.
