Israeli envoy praises India's support amid conflict: 'A country that knows terrorism'
Naor Gilon says India's understanding of terrorism makes its support even more valuable.
Indian support for Israel throughout the conflict: "A country that knows terrorism"
Naor Gilon, the Israeli ambassador to India, thanked India for its assistance during the most recent fight in the Gaza Strip and referred to it as a "country that knows terrorism."
Gilon claimed that "India is a country that knows terrorism" in an interview with The Hindu. We've been battling terrorism for a long time. We are aware of the anguish and suffering endured by terrorist victims. India's assistance during the current Gazan crisis is evidence of our deep friendship and shared principles.
Gilon also commended India's participation in the global war on terrorism, adding that it "is a leading player in this war." India has long suffered at the hands of terrorists, and it has been a major force in encouraging international collaboration in the fight against terrorism.
The Israeli envoy's remarks are made at a time when relations between India and Israel are at an all-time high. Trade, defense, and counterterrorism are just a few of the areas where the two nations have been working together.
India has consistently abstained from voting on UN resolutions that have attacked Israel and has been a vociferous defender of Israel's right to self-defense.
The recent war between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip was the bloodiest since 2014. Over 250 Palestinians and 13 Israelis died throughout the conflict's 11-day duration.
In addition to urging a truce and a return to the negotiating table, India has offered humanitarian aid to the Gaza-based Palestinians.
The remarks made by the Israeli envoy reveal how closely Israel and India are related. Their shared beliefs and dedication to battling terrorism bind the two nations together.
