NEW DELHI: At a time when the war between Israel and Hamas continues to grow tense, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar spoke with Israel’s Foreign Minister Eli Cohen and discussed the situation in Gaza on December 12.
The External Affairs Minister assured to ‘remain in touch’ as he spoke to Cohen amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas war.
“Just spoke to Israeli Foreign Minister @elicoh1. Discussed the Gaza situation, Lebanon and safety of maritime traffic in the region,” Jaishankar wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
The conflict in Gaza escalated after the October 7 attack by Hamas, where about 2,500 terrorists breached the border into Israel from the Gaza Strip, leading to casualties and the seizure of hostages.
Israel has characterised its Gaza offensive as targeting Hamas’ infrastructure with the goal of eliminating the entire terror group while making efforts to minimise civilian casualties.
