He reaffirmed India’s unwavering support to the people of Palestine, including continued humanitarian assistance, the Ministry of External Affairs said in a statement.
Prime Minister Modi “reiterated India’s time-tested principled position on the Israel-Palestine issue, and called for a ceasefire, the release of hostages and return to the path of dialogue and diplomacy,” it said.
