Prime Minister Modi Shows Support for Netanyahu in Solidarity:
Prime Minister Narendra Modi conveyed India’s resolute support for Israel during this challenging time in a phone call with his Israeli counterpart, Benjamin Netanyahu. He firmly denounced terrorism in every shape and manifestation.
Netanyahu reached out to Modi to provide an update on the ongoing situation as Israel carries out retaliatory strikes against Hamas, following a surprise weekend attack by Hamas militants that resulted in the deaths of hundreds of Israelis along its southern border.
In his statement, Modi expressed deep condolences and sympathy for the victims and also raised concerns about the safety and security of Indian citizens in Israel. Netanyahu, in turn, assured Modi of Israel’s full cooperation and support.
Modi commented, “I express my gratitude to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for his phone call and for providing me with the latest information on the present situation. The people of India firmly stand with Israel during this challenging time, and India unequivocally condemns terrorism in all its forms and manifestations.”
In response to the unprecedented attack by Hamas on Israel, Israeli warplanes have launched extensive airstrikes on the Gaza Strip. As of now, Gaza health officials report approximately 700 casualties, including fatalities and wounded individuals, in what is seen as a forceful retaliation to the militant group’s actions, which had caused over 900 casualties among Israelis. Additionally, more than 150 Israeli civilians and soldiers have been taken captive.
Israel asserts that it takes meticulous measures to minimize civilian casualties while targeting Hamas sites in Gaza.
