Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi condemned the killing of civilians in the ongoing Israel-Hamas war while delivering his opening remarks at a virtual inaugural session of the second ‘Voice of Global South Summit’ on Friday.
“We strongly condemn the deaths of civilians in the conflict between Israel and Hamas,” Modi said.
He also reiterated his government’s condemnation of Hamas’ October 7 terror attack on Israel and called for “exercising restraint” while laying emphasis on “dialogue and diplomacy.”
Modi said that India has sent “humanitarian aid to the people of Palestine” after speaking to Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas.
The Palestinian Authority is a separate government body with limited self-rule in the West Bank.
Modi also urged the countries of the Global South to “unite for the greater global good.”
Some context: Modi previously condemned Hamas’ October 7 attack and expressed “solidarity with Israel at this difficult hour," on X.
