Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday told the media that he had spoken at “great length” with Prime Minister Narendra Modi about the escalating situation in West Asia.
The Israeli Prime Minister said he thanked Modi for “standing with the Jewish people” in their fight against Iran.
Speaking to the media from a site in Israel hit by an Iranian missile, Netanyahu confirmed that he had spoken with Prime Minister Modi.
“I spoke to our great friend, Prime Minister Narendra Modi. I spoke to him at great length yesterday. I thank him for standing with Israel, standing with the Jews and for the enormous friendship of the people of India. They are much admired and loved. I won’t get into the details of the conversations, but I have spoken to him (Modi), and I have spoken to many other leaders in the region and beyond," the Israeli Prime Minister said.
Netanyahu’s remarks came after Modi earlier confirmed that he had spoken with his Israeli counterpart, expressing India’s concerns over the latest developments and stressing the importance of protecting civilians amid the ongoing conflict.
“Had a telephone call with PM Benjamin Netanyahu to discuss the current regional situation. Conveyed India’s concerns over recent developments and emphasised the safety of civilians as a priority. India reiterates the need for an early cessation of hostilities," PM Modi shared in a post on X.
