‘India and Israel on same page’, says Israeli Embassy amid Iran attack

New Delhi: Guy Nir, Spokesperson of the Israel Embassy in India, while talking to ANI, said that India and Israel are on the same page as both countries believe in condemnation of terror activities. Nir said that India is one in the full foremost peaceful countries, and Israel would appreciate swift action by India to accomplish the war.

“First off, any terror activity must be condemned and can be stopped. And the actual fact that Prime Minister Modi is speaking about that just shows you that we’re on the same page. Terrorism must be eliminated. So I’m grateful for that. As for the role of India, that's in point of fact for India to come to a decision,” he said.

He said that each and every person would appreciate a swift resolution for the escalation. “I may not tell any Indian diplomat how you can conduct anything. I’ve been living here for a year, and India is one in the full foremost peaceful countries that I’ve been to, and in case that you just may make it work with each and every of the huge kind of people which you may have here in case that you just can give us assistance, I’m sure we would all appreciate a swift resolution for this matter,” he said.

Nir said that Iran’s condemnation of Israel’s actions is ‘laughable’ as Iran has the blood of thousands of people in its hands. “I suspect that’s laughable. I suspect Iran, a terror state, condemning the killing of a terrorist with blood on his hands of thousands of people is only laughable. Where were they when Israelis were being killed, were being targeted, were being terrorised? They didn’t condone October 7. They didn’t condone thousands of missiles being fired at civilians. They’re condoning when a terrorist is killed. When persons are condoning terrorism, when persons are okay with terrorism, that just shows you who they're. Terrorists are okay with terrorists, and Iran is a terror state. So what do I say about that? Iran is a terror state, and that’s it,” he said.

Nir said that Israel wouldn't stop until Gaza releases each and every of the a hundred people they have gotten held as hostages. “For the last Eleven months, Hezbollah has been firing rockets at Israel indiscriminately. Now we have been calling for diplomatic action… Now we have been waiting and focusing our attention at the south until we've had at this time the attention span to hit Hezbollah back. For about two weeks, we've been concentrated on Hezbollah high-ranked officials.

Within the last 24 hours we've begun a ground operation to check out to take away more terrorists on the ground,” he said. When asked how long the conflict goes to last, he said that they didn’t even want this to prolong. “That’s a tough question. I will never be going to foresee the future until exactly how long, but I may be able to tell you that we are having a look out out something short. We don’t want this to prolong. The longer this continues, the more in danger it puts our soldiers. We’re having a look out out something short and quick to accomplish as soon as we can and get out,” he said.

Talking in regards to the ceasefire, he said that they're casting off terrorists and are protecting their citizens. They're going to not stop till they get their hostages back from Gaza. “The comprehensive old questions of ceasefire. Well, persons are asking for a ceasefire, where have you been for the last Eleven and a half of months? Now we have been asking for a ceasefire since Hezbollah began shooting us on October 8, 2023, and indiscriminately at our population. Now we have been asking for a diplomatic solution. No person became calling out for a ceasefire then. Now you’re calling for a ceasefire when we’re protecting ourselves and we’re casting off terrorists. The first ceasefire may be when we get our hostages back and not a second before. On the moment we still have over a hundred hostages held by Hamas in Gaza,” he said.

Nir added that Israel is working to get its hostages back. “We're working both on diplomatic arenas and with force to get them (Israeli hostages) back safely as fast as which it could be easy to in all probability imagine. You may want to take note that when we’re talking with terrorists, there’s not an excellent deal which could perchance be diplomatically arranged. We're doing the right that we can. It unfortunately can take more time. We’re doing our best,” he said.
