External affairs minister S Jaishankar has expressed concern over the ongoing middle east crisis

"We regard October 7 as a terrorist attack. We understand that Israel needed to respond, but we also believe that any response by any country has to take into account international humanitarian law and that it must be careful about any damage or implications for civilian populations. It is important to have some kind of international humanitarian effort," Jaishankar said.

"We are concerned at the possibility of a broadening of the conflict, not just what happened in Lebanon, but also to the Houthis and the Red Sea, and to anything that happens between Iran and Israel. Don't underestimate the importance of communication in difficult times. If there are things to be said and passed on and back, I think those are all contributions that we can make, and we do," he added.

Donald Trump blasted US President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris in the wake of the Iranian missile attack on Israel. He said that it would lead to mass chaos on the world stage if Harris is elected in November.

“I’ve been talking about World War III for a long time, and I don’t want to make predictions because the predictions always come true. But they are very close to global catastrophe,” Trump said. “We have a nonexistent president and a nonexistent vice president who should be in charge. But nobody knows what’s going on. She was at a fundraiser in San Francisco.”

“If I were in charge, today’s attack on Israel never would have happened. All of the things that we’re talking about never would have happened, including that botched withdrawal that made us look so bad,” he said, referring to the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Afghanistan in 2021.

“If I win, we will have peace in the world again. I guarantee we will have peace in the world again,” Trump added. “And if Kamala gets four more — unthinkable, right? — if she gets four more years, the world goes up in smoke.”

The Embassy of India in Israel has issued an important advisory for the Indian nationals residing in Israel in view of the attack by Iran on Israel.
