He clarified that there was no discussion or planning of this attack during the conversation with PM Modi. The timing of the attack was decided on the basis of intelligence. During this visit, 17 important agreements were signed between India and Israel on defence, AI technology and trade.
What will be the impact on Indians living in Gulf countries?
The ongoing tension between Iran and Israel can also have a direct impact on millions of Indians living in Gulf countries.
Israel has informed that after the joint operation, Iran’s defense systems have weakened and missile attacks have reduced to about 10 a day. Recent attacks in Israel and the Gulf region have left 12 people dead and hundreds injured. In view of this, New Delhi has intensified diplomatic efforts. The Indian government is continuously talking about the safety of its citizens living in the Gulf countries and is appealing to both the countries to maintain peace. The ambassador also clarified that Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu is completely healthy and the rumors on social media are false.
