New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi held a telephonic conversation with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as the security situation in West Asia continues to deteriorate following recent military developments. The discussion focused on regional stability and India’s concerns over the escalating conflict.
During the call, Prime Minister Modi conveyed India’s deep concern over the unfolding situation and underlined that the protection of civilians must remain the foremost priority. He stressed that continued hostilities risk further humanitarian suffering and instability across the region. India, he said, firmly supports efforts aimed at de escalation and reiterated the need for an early cessation of violence through dialogue and diplomacy.
The Prime Minister emphasised that sustainable peace can only be achieved by respecting sovereignty, exercising restraint, and ensuring that civilian populations are shielded from the impact of military actions. He also conveyed India’s position that diplomatic channels must remain open to prevent the conflict from widening further.
The conversation took place against the backdrop of intensifying tensions following recent strikes involving Israel, the United States, and Iran. Reports of targeted attacks and retaliatory actions across multiple locations have heightened fears of a broader regional confrontation. Developments in and around Tehran, along with responses from allied groups in the region, have added to the uncertainty and volatility of the situation.
India continues to closely monitor the evolving crisis and has maintained regular contact with stakeholders in the region. The government has consistently advocated restraint and urged all parties involved to prioritise humanitarian considerations over military escalation. Ensuring the safety of civilians, safeguarding regional stability, and preventing further loss of life remain central to India’s diplomatic engagement.
As tensions persist, India’s outreach reflects its broader commitment to peace, stability, and responsible international conduct. The Prime Minister’s interaction with the Israeli leadership underscores New Delhi’s call for calm and constructive engagement at a time when the region faces one of its most serious security challenges in recent years.
