New Delhi: India welcomes US President Donald Trump’s leadership as peace efforts in Gaza make decisive progress, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Saturday.
Modi referred to indications of the release of Israeli hostages by Hamas and stated that this marks a significant step forward in efforts to restore peace in the region.
In a tweet on X, PM Modi said, “India will continue to strongly support all efforts towards a durable and just peace.”
President Trump has ordered Israel to stop bombing the Gaza Strip after Hamas announced it had accepted some elements of his plan to end the nearly two-year war and return all the remaining hostages taken in the October 7, 2023 attack.
Hamas stated it is willing to release the hostages and hand over power to other Palestinian groups. However, other aspects of the plan require further consultations among Palestinians.
