Jaishankar calls out Sydney attack, highlights India-Israel partnership
India's Foreign Minister S Jaishankar strongly condemned the recent terror attack at Bondi Beach in Sydney, which left 15 people dead and 40 injured during Hanukkah.
While visiting Israel, he expressed condolences alongside Israeli leaders and emphasized that both countries have a "zero tolerance" stance toward terrorism, appreciating Israel's steady support for India on this front.
Strengthening ties ahead of big visits
Jaishankar's trip was all about boosting India-Israel ties—he met with Israeli President Isaac Herzog to talk cooperation on projects like the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor and efforts for peace in Gaza.
The visit also sets the stage for Israeli PM Netanyahu's upcoming trip to India, showing both countries are serious about growing their defense, trade, and cultural connections.
