Top Israeli officials, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Foreign Minister Gideon Saar, have pledged their nation’s full solidarity with India in its “fight against terror.” The messages came in response to a deadly blast in Delhi that left eight dead and several injured.
Netanyahu, in a personal message to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, offered “deepest condolences” from himself, his wife Sara, and the Israeli people. “Israel stands strong with you in sorrow and in strength,” he affirmed, decrying the attack on an “ancient civilisation.”
The Prime Minister’s message was one of powerful defiance. “Terror may strike our cities, but it will never shake our souls,” he stated. “The light of our nations will outshine the darkness of our enemies.”
Foreign Minister Gideon Saar echoed this sentiment. “Israel stands with India in its fight against terror,” he posted on X, offering condolences to the families of the “innocent victims killed in the blast at the heart of Delhi.”
This wave of support comes as India’s National Investigation Agency (NIA) takes charge of the probe. The MHA has confirmed a terror angle, and the NIA is investigating a suspected Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) module for the car bomb attack near the Red Fort.
