The Indian Foreign Minister made a post on social media confirming that he conveyed the importance of preventing escalation and providing humanitarian support.

“We discussed the serious situation in West Asia and the concern of the international community, and I agreed to stay in touch”, Jaishankar wrote on social networks.

Since the beginning of Tel Aviv’s offensive in the occupied territories, the government of India has reiterated its call for a dialogue that leads to a solution of two independent states and respect for the principles of international and humanitarian law.

The Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, has held frequent contacts with heads of state of countries in the region, including the recent telephone conversation with the president of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Mohamed bin Zayed Al-Nahyan.

Both dignitaries expressed their deep concern about the deterioration of the security situation, and the loss of civilian lives, among other aspects, and agreed on the need for a prompt solution to the humanitarian and security problem.
