Nandy, who was visiting Jerusalem on the day the death toll in Gaza climbed to more than 23,000, said she cried hearing about the agony of Palestinians with loved ones trapped there, but believed demanding an immediate ceasefire was not the most effective way to end the violence.
"Part of how we have ended up in this desperate situation is that for a decade and a half there has been no meaningful peace process, and this can't happen again," she said. "This has to be the moment when the international community steps forward and ensures that we don't allow this to occur again."
The US secretary of state, Antony Blinken, flew into Israel on Monday.
He is making a fresh push to stop the war escalating into a regional conflict, and stepping up pressure on Israel to protect civilians in Gaza, allow more aid into the strip and start planning for a postwar future.
Israeli authorities have said they expect to fight in Gaza for several more months, even as the UN, aid agencies and a large majority of the international community warn that an immediate humanitarian ceasefire is the only way to mitigate catastrophic levels of suffering.
