Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday praised US President Donald Trump for his efforts in brokering peace in Gaza. His remarks came hours after Hamas agreed to release Israeli hostages under Trump’s 20-point peace plan. Modi said India “welcomes President Trump’s leadership” and called the development “a significant step forward.” Earlier, Modi had backed Trump’s plan, calling it a path to long-term peace for Palestinians and Israelis. Trump responded by urging Israel to stop bombing Gaza, saying Hamas is ready for “lasting peace.” World leaders have also welcomed the breakthrough, calling it the best chance for peace. (PC: NDTV)
