The conflict was triggered by Hamas’s brazen terror attacks on southern Israel on October 7, 2023 that killed almost 1,200 people

India on Thursday welcomed the ceasefire deal reached between Israel and Hamas and reiterated its call for a return to a path of dialogue and diplomacy.

Negotiators from Israel and Hamas have agreed on a 42-day truce and hostage release, and the deal will come into effect on January 19, US President Joe Biden and Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani said on Wednesday. The truce comes after more than 460 days of war that has devastated Gaza.

“We welcome the announcement of the agreement for the release of hostages and a ceasefire in Gaza,” the external affairs ministry said in a brief statement.

“We hope this will lead to a safe and sustained supply of humanitarian assistance to the people of Gaza. We have consistently called for release of all hostages, ceasefire, and return to a path of dialogue and diplomacy,” the statement said.

The conflict was triggered by Hamas’s brazen terror attacks on southern Israel on October 7, 2023 that killed almost 1,200 people. More than 46,000 Palestinians have been killed in Israel’s retaliatory attacks and bombardment of the Gaza Strip.

Qatar’s prime minister told reporters that Israel and Hamas were still to conclude some logistical matters related to the ceasefire, while the office of the Israeli prime minister said in a statement that a number of details of the agreement remained unresolved. The deal also needs to be formally ratified by the Israeli cabinet and the government.

The initial phase of the ceasefire, set to last six weeks, will see a limited prisoner exchange, partial withdrawal of Israeli troops from Gaza and a surge of aid into the region. Thirty-three Israeli nationals taken hostage during the October 7 attacks will be released in exchange for a large number of Palestinian prisoners, according to reports.

Around 100 Israeli hostages are thought to be still in Gaza, though Israeli authorities believe some if them are dead.

India initially expressed solidarity with Israel after the attacks by Hamas, in line with its “zero tolerance” policy on terrorism, but it adopted a more nuanced position subsequently because of concerns expressed by Arab partners.

India has strong strategic ties with Israel while Arab states are key sources of energy and have developed stronger defence and security ties with India in the past decade. India also had significant concerns about the potential expansion of the conflict because West Asia is home to nine million Indians, with almost six million of them concentrated in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.

As the war dragged on, India repeatedly urged Israel to be mindful of humanitarian concerns in its response. The Indian side also called for the unimpeded provision of humanitarian aid to the people of Gaza and a return to the path of dialogue and diplomacy aimed at finding a two-state solution.

A crowd of anti-Israel demonstrators gathered in front of a memorial in downtown Manhattan honoring those killed on October 7, 2018, at the Nova Music Festival in Israel by Hamas terrorists. In front of the Nova Music Festival Exhibition on Wall Street, the audience indulged in a wicked celebration that included burning flares and waving a flag connected with the terrorist organization Hezbollah, which is backed by Iran.

During their altercation with police on Monday, June 8, the demonstrators chanted “Israel go to hell.” The pro-Palestinian organization Within Our Lifetime organized the protest, which got underway in Union Square. There were demonstrators who were spotted spreading a flag that said, “Long live October 7th.” “Long Live the Intifada” was even chanted by others.

In their comments on the video above, other X users denounced the behavior, saying, “This is utterly disgusting and shameful.” They are all capable of being killers and terrorists. These are the same folks who have demonstrated against Jewish hospitals and Holocaust museums, which is utterly repugnant. One user added, “There is no limit to their hatred,” while another stated, “These morally bankrupt hellions embody vacuous minds of intellectual bankruptcy and unbridled evil, showing depths of depravity while spreading malignancy without conscience or reason.”

“Expose them all and deport them. NYC was once really amazing. One person remarked, “Now it’s literally hell on earth.” Another said, “After an hour away from Twitter, I find this horror show.” The terror of Hamas never ends. This is getting old to me. “They should be arrested!” one person wrote. WE have traded a lie for the truth. It’s completely heinous and wicked in every way that can be imagined. Why do the people in the masses not speak up and expose these miscreants? A nation rises when its citizens are righteous, but it descends to the depths of hell when they are wicked.

The Nova Exhibit was originally scheduled to close on Sunday, but following the protest, it was revealed that it would stay open until June 22. According to its official website, “the installation sets out to recreate an event dedicated to peace and love that was brutally cut short by Hamas’s attack on Israel from Gaza on that fateful day.”

Nikki Haley, a former contender for the US presidency, is coming under fire for writing “Finish Them” on an Israeli shell while touring locations close to Lebanon’s northern border.

An incensed social media user posted, “I support DEPORTING NIKKI HALEY to her ancestral homeland of India,” following the global success of her statement on an Israeli IDF bomb.

Danny Danon, a former UN ambassador and member of the Israeli Knesset who went with Haley on the visit, shared a photo of her on X that showed her kneeling and writing with a purple pen on a shell.

Danon wrote, “‘Finish Them.’” in her post. My buddy, the former ambassador Nikki Haley, wrote this, and it included the contentious photo.

Her speech has drawn criticism for being inflammatory and inconsiderate, especially in light of the ongoing genocide in Rafah and its effects on people. Social media is rife with complaints about Haley’s behaviour:

One X user said, “Shame on her existence, she is evil!”

“In the end, these missiles are going to be deployed to kill children and innocent bystanders. A third person said, “This is terrorism.”

The White House has declared that President Joe Biden does not intend to alter his Israel policy, despite the ongoing protests. Despite a tragic attack on Rafah over the weekend, he made it clear that he is not disregarding the pain of Palestinian residents.

Haley, who withdrew her quest for the presidency in March following a string of losses to Trump in Republican primary contests, announced her plan to support him lately. She is still a viable candidate for president in 2028, despite Trump ruling her out as a vice presidential candidate.

Following Hamas’s October 7 onslaught on southern Israel, which claimed 1,189 lives, the majority of them civilians, Israeli officials said that the Gaza battle intensified. In addition, 252 captives were taken by terrorists; 121 of them are still in Gaza, including 37 who the Israeli army claims are dead. The health ministry of Gaza reports that at least 36,096 individuals have died as a result of Israel’s retaliatory strikes, the majority of them were civilians.
