Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has expressed strong support for US President Donald Trump’s efforts to bring peace to the Gaza region. Modi hailed the recent developments as a “decisive progress” in resolving the years-long Gaza conflict, following Hamas’s agreement to release Israeli hostages under parts of Trump’s 20-point peace plan.
In a message on X, Modi welcomed the “indications of the release of hostages” as a “significant step forward” towards durable and just peace in the Middle East. He reiterated India’s commitment to supporting all initiatives aimed at lasting peace, security, and development for both Palestinians and Israelis, as well as the wider West Asian region.
Modi’s endorsement highlighted the global hope sparked by President Trump’s peace initiative, which includes ending the war, withdrawing Israeli forces, and facilitating aid and recovery in Gaza. Trump, in response, urged Israel to immediately stop airstrikes to enable the safe return of hostages and thanked regional partners, including Qatar, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Jordan, for mediating the breakthrough.
This rare moment of diplomatic success offers a hopeful path for conflict resolution after years of turmoil, reinforcing India’s stance on peaceful dialogue and cooperation. Modi’s support underscores the international community’s desire for a fair and lasting peace in one of the world’s most sensitive geopolitical hotspots.
