Israel urges India to declare Hamas as terrorist organization

Israel has urged India to ban Palestinian militant group Hamas and declare it a terrorist organization. Talking to mediapersons in New Delhi, Israeli ambassador, Naor Gilon said, Israel has conveyed to relevant Indian authorities to declare Hamas as a terrorist organisation following its brutal attack on Israel on October 7.

He said, the time has come for India to proscribe Hamas as a terrorist organisation like many other nations have done. He also thanked India for its 100 percent support to Israel in its anti-terror operations against Hamas. Israeli Ambassador said, Prime



Minister Narendra Modi was among first world leaders to condemn the terror attack. India is a very important moral voice in the world and the important countries are with us, Mr Gilon said.

   

The latest conflict was triggered by the unprecedented attacks against Israel by Hamas militants from Gaza on October 7. Israel launched a massive counter offensive in Gaza to avenge the attacks. Mr Gilon said, the purpose of the Israeli action against Hamas is to ensure that the brutality that was perpetrated by Hamas is not repeated.
