India’s government said they were happy about the ceasefire between Hamas and Israel that involves releasing hostages. They really hope this agreement means people in Gaza will get the help they need, like food and medicine. India has always said everyone taken captive should be freed and that a ceasefire should happen so things can go back to talking and peace. They want peace in the region by using peaceful methods to resolve issues.
This announcement came after other countries tried to calm things down. It’s not clear what made them finally agree, but it’s seen as a good step to help people who are suffering in Gaza. India’s statement focuses on the good things right away, like hostages being released and people getting aid. They didn’t talk about the political or military stuff that caused the problem, instead focusing on being neutral while really caring about the humanitarian side of things. India wants to be seen as helping the situation in a helpful way.
India’s support for this agreement is interesting because they didn’t vote in favor of a UN resolution earlier. Some people thought this was showing support for Israel and criticized the government. Even though India wants to go back to talking things out, it shows the tight spot they are in trying to balance relationships while keeping a neutral stance. But their public statement is focused on helping people and not placing blame.
