Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke with Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi on Monday to discuss the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict and security issues in West Asia. PM Modi expressed deep concern over the recent terrorist attacks, violence and loss of civilian lives. He reiterated India's longstanding position on the Israel-Palestine issue, emphasizing the need for a two-state solution. The leaders also discussed bilateral cooperation including the Chabahar port project. Last month at the UN, India called for pursuing lasting peace in Palestine while announcing humanitarian aid for Gaza amid the conflict. India has maintained its stance of supporting both Israel and Palestine's causes while urging restraint and dialogue to resolve tensions.
