In a diplomatic conversation on Monday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke with his Israeli counterpart, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, to discuss the recent developments in West Asia, particularly concerning the escalating tensions in Israel and Lebanon. The dialogue underscored India's firm stance against terrorism, with Modi reiterating that "terrorism has no place in our world."
Taking to social media platform X (formerly Twitter), PM Modi stated: "Spoke to Prime Minister @netanyahu about recent developments in West Asia. Terrorism has no place in our world. It is crucial to prevent regional escalation and ensure the safe release of all hostages."
The call between the two leaders comes amid heightened tensions in the region, triggered by the October 7 attack by the Palestinian militant group Hamas on Israel, which escalated into a broader conflict. Israel has been conducting retaliatory airstrikes not just in Gaza but also targeting positions in Lebanon, where Hezbollah, another militant group, has been launching rocket and missile attacks into northern Israel. The strikes last week killed seven high-ranking commanders and officials from Hezbollah, including the group's leader Hassan Nasrallah.
