In the wake of Hamas' deadly assault on Israel that killed around 40, world leaders overwhelmingly condemned the Palestinian group while voicing solidarity with Israel. Prime Minister Modi said he was "deeply shocked" by the "terrorist attacks" and that India stood with Israel. British PM Sunak called them "appalling attacks" by Hamas, affirming Israel's right to defend itself. Turkey, Egypt and the EU urged restraint by both sides. French President Macron and German FM Baerbock strongly condemned Hamas. Global leaders stood united in denouncing the attacks and supporting Israel's right to retaliate against the unprecedented rocket barrage from Gaza.
