PM Modi : We strongly condemn the deaths of civilians in the conflict between Israel and Hamas

New Delhi – Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the inaugural session of the 2nd Voice of Global South Summit. The PM said, “We all are seeing that new challenges are emerging from the events in the West Asia region. India has condemned the terrorist attack in Israel on 7th October. We have exercised restraint as well. We have given emphasis on dialogue and diplomacy. We also strongly condemn the deaths of civilians in the conflict between Israel and Hamas. After talking to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, we have also sent humanitarian aid to the people of Palestine.”

This is the time when the countries of the Global South should unite for the greater global good, he added.

The Global South refers to a collection of countries, primarily situated in the Southern Hemisphere in Asia, Africa and South America, with varied levels of economic development. While these countries do not share identical characteristics, they often grapple with common challenges such as poverty, inequality, and limited access to resources.
