India Voices Concern Over Gaza Situation
India has expressed deep concern regarding the escalating situation in Gaza, urging the need for humanitarian aid for the conflict-affected territory. As Israel resumes air strikes, tensions rise, casting doubt on the fragile ceasefire agreement established with Hamas earlier this year.
Call for Humanitarian Assistance
In a statement released on Wednesday, the Ministry of External Affairs emphasized, “We are concerned at the situation in Gaza. It is important that all hostages are released. We also call for supply of humanitarian assistance to the people of Gaza to be sustained.” This statement comes amidst troubling reports from the Hamas-operated health ministry, indicating that Israeli bombing has resulted in over 400 fatalities.
Israel’s Military Actions
The Israel Defence Forces (IDF) have confirmed their ongoing operations, stating they are engaged in “extensive strikes on terror targets belonging to Hamas” in the Gaza Strip. These military actions were reportedly initiated on directives from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, citing Hamas’s refusal to release hostages and disregard for proposals from US Presidential Envoy Steve Witkoff.
The IDF stated, “In accordance with the political echelon, the IDF and ISA are currently conducting extensive strikes on terror targets belonging to the Hamas terrorist organization in the Gaza Strip.” The Prime Minister’s Office reiterated their commitment to act against Hamas with increased military strength, detailing that an operational plan has been approved by political leadership.
