Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed his support for the agreement reached on the first phase of President Donald Trump’s Gaza peace plan.
He described the step as reflective of the ‘strong leadership’ of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
In a post on his verified X account, PM Modi said he hoped the agreement would lead to the release of hostages and enhanced humanitarian assistance for people in Gaza, thereby paving the way for lasting peace.
PM Modi underscored the importance of swift action to relieve suffering in the conflict zone. He emphasised that the release of hostages and greater humanitarian support must go hand in hand. He said these measures would offer much-needed respite to people caught in the crisis.
His message aligns with global calls for coordinated efforts to protect civilians and restore stability in the region.
By welcoming the agreement, PM Modi placed India alongside other nations endorsing diplomatic overtures to de-escalate violence.
He recognised the central role played by Israeli leadership in forging the deal, signalling India’s backing of responsible statecraft in conflict resolution.
India’s stance comes amid a wave of international reactions to the agreement. Many world leaders are urging full implementation, greater access for humanitarian aid, and progress toward a two-state solution.
As regional tensions remain high, the Prime Minister’s statement directs attention to how the first-stage deal will move forward. Its broader success depends on subsequent phases, the verification of releases, and the restoration of critical humanitarian lifelines in Gaza.
We welcome the agreement on the first phase of President Trump’s peace plan. This is also a reflection of the strong leadership of PM Netanyahu.
We hope the release of hostages and enhanced humanitarian assistance to the people of Gaza will bring respite to them and pave the way…
