Given what has happened in Gaza, it is important to have some kind of international humanitarian effort there. He said that we are very concerned about the possibility of the conflict becoming widespread.
External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said that India is very concerned about the possibility of regional war in West Asia. The minister also stressed that any country’s response must comply with international humanitarian law and avoid harming civilians. He was speaking at the Carnegie Endowment Center for International Peace in the United States on the emerging volatile situation in West Asia, hours before Iran launched a barrage of missiles against Israel. S Jaishankar said that we also believe that any response by any country will have to take into account international humanitarian law, and it will have to be careful about any harm or impact on the civilian population.
Given what has happened in Gaza, it is important to have some kind of international humanitarian effort there. He said that we are very concerned about the possibility of the conflict becoming widespread. (Are concerned) not only about what happened in Lebanon, but also the Houthis and the Red Sea and, you know, to some extent what’s happening between Iran and Israel. Our aim is to be helpful. To some extent, we also have to keep other people informed. Where it is necessary, we also do so. He said, look we are in the third year of the war. There are very few countries today that have the ability to go to both capitals, talk to both leaders, and then go back to the other side.
Jaishankar said that I think in any conflict, if the intention is to end the conflict at some point, then such efforts are useful. I would say that they are also admirable. Jaishankar said, but again please understand that we are not making any promises. We are not suggesting that we have any grand agreement or peace plan.
