Foreign policy had always supported both Israelis and Palestinians. Mostly influenced by our freedom fighters (Gandhi,Nehru etc.) afterall indians were instrumental in israels creation (highest volunteer army to fight for Israel)

This is interesting. Hadn't heard of this. Do have a link to read up on? I know of Indian soldiers fighting the Ottomans in ww1 are you referring to that?

Errrr... The Battle of Haifa happened in 1918. Israel's independence came about in 1948. I think you got your wires slightly crossed.

You may be confusing the Indian soldiers who participated in conquering the region from the Ottomans during WW1, thirty years before Israel's foundation. It was done on behalf of Britain rather than the Jewish community. It did indirectly allow for Israel's formation, I'll give you that.
