Washington, Oct. 2 – The White House has praised Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi for joining global efforts to support peace in Gaza. The move highlights India’s careful balance in Middle East diplomacy.

Modi’s Role

  • Modi backed U.S. President Donald Trump’s proposed plan for peace in Gaza.
  • He described the initiative as a “comprehensive plan” that could stop violence and protect civilians.
  • Modi underlined India’s support for peace talks while respecting the concerns of both Palestinians and Israelis.

U.S. Reaction

  • The White House called Modi’s endorsement “an important step” in gathering international support.
  • Officials stressed that India’s voice adds weight to global diplomacy because of its long history of ties in the Middle East.

Why This Matters

  • India has strong relations with Israel, Palestine, and Arab states.
  • By supporting the peace initiative, New Delhi is showing its ability to maintain a balanced and independent foreign policy.
  • Analysts say this also positions India as a responsible global player in conflict resolution.

Next Steps
