Israel's Ambassador to India, Naor Gilon, urges India to designate Hamas as a terrorist group, stating, "India has been consistent in not tolerating terror attacks." Despite recognizing Hamas' actions as terrorism, India has not yet banned the group. Gilon emphasizes, "Now it is for the Indian government to decide – if, where, how, and how fast." The plea comes during an extended ceasefire, with Gilon noting Israel's focus shifting from northern to southern Gaza. The envoy's remarks coincide with Arab ambassadors expressing solidarity with Palestine in New Delhi. India's UN representative reiterates support for a two-state solution in the Israel-Palestine conflict.
