'Those who are against terrorism are with us': Israeli ambassador Naor Gilon lauds India's support
New Delhi/UNI: Israeli ambassador to India Naor Gilon said that all the countries against terrorism are with Israel and appreciated India’s support for military operations against Hamas in Gaza, on Wednesday.
“Those who are against terrorism and see Israel as fighting terrorism are with us. Those who felt uncomfortable (are) not with us because they are not with us either,” Gilon said on Wednesday.
The ambassador said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi was among the first world leaders to condemn Hamas’s attack on Israel earlier this month.
Gilon termed India a very important moral voice in the world and said that most key countries are with Israel in the fight against Hamas.
Emphasizing the need to destroy and dismantle Hamas, the ambassador said that if it seemed that the outfit was winning against Israel, there would be a risk of unrest caused by other terrorist organizations, “which is why Hamas needs to be stopped.”
Gilon noted that Israel was determined to finish Hamas, as it was important for its survival in the Middle East.
Following the Hamas attack on October 7, Israel has launched a full-scale war against the militant organization and has been conducting targeted air strikes on Gaza.
It is also preparing for ground operations and could enter the Hamas-controlled territory anytime soon.
