India has reaffirmed its commitment to countering terrorism and upholding international humanitarian law while advocating for a two-state solution amid the escalating Israel-Palestine conflict. External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar emphasized these principles during his conversation with his Israeli counterpart, Eli Cohen, on Saturday.
These statements reflect India's consistent position on the Israel-Palestine issue, which includes supporting a peaceful resolution and adherence to international laws and norms.
"Spoke this afternoon with FM @elicoh1 of Israel. Appreciated his sharing the Israeli assessment of the current situation. Reiterated our firm commitment to countering terrorism, observance of international humanitarian law and for a two state solution," Jaishankar said in a post on X.
External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar had previously described the situation in West Asia as complex during an event on November 4. Following his telephone conversation with Jaishankar, Israeli counterpart Eli Cohen expressed gratitude for India's support on the matter.
The statements made by both ministers indicate their acknowledgment of the complex nature of the situation in the West Asia region and their diplomatic engagement in addressing the issues.
"Thank you @DrSJaishankar for your support of Israel and of its war against the Hamas terrorist organisation. Our war is the entire democratic world's war against a despicable terrorist organisation that is worst than ISIS," he had said.
