Israeli Envoy thanks PM Modi for ‘So Much Support’ after Hamas attack

Israel’s Ambassador to India, Naor Gilon, has thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the general public for expressing solidarity with the country at a time when the country is at war with Hamas terrorists. Expressing gratitude for supporting Israel, he said the nation gets so much support from “our Indian brothers and sisters.” In a post on social media platform X, Naor Gilon said, “Thank you again PM @narendramodinJi. Since we get SO MUCH support from our Indian brothers and sisters, I’m unfortunately unable to thank each and every one of you personally.”

The post came moments after PM Modi and his Israeli counterpart Benjamin Netanyahu held a telephone conversation, during which the latter informed the Indian PM about the current situation in the Jewish country following attacks by the terrorist group Hamas. After the conversation, PM Modi, in a post on X, wrote: “I thank Prime Minister @netanyahu for his phone call and for providing an update on the ongoing situation. The people of India stand firmly with Israel in this difficult hour. India strongly and unequivocally condemns terrorism in all its forms and manifestations."

Israel said dozens of its fighter jets struck more than 200 targets overnight on Wednesday in a neighbourhood of Gaza City that it said had been used by Hamas to launch its unprecedented wave of attacks.
