Israel has urged India to ban Hamas, the Palestinian militant group, citing security concerns. The request was made during a meeting between Israeli President Isaac Herzog and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Israel has labeled Hamas as a terrorist organization and has been pushing for countries around the world to outlaw the group. The Indian government has not made any public statements regarding the potential ban on Hamas. The meeting between Herzog and Modi also focused on strengthening bilateral ties between Israel and India. Both countries have been collaborating in various sectors including defense, technology, and agriculture. Israel has been a key supplier of defense equipment to India and has also been involved in joint ventures in the technology sector. The two countries have shared interests in counter-terrorism efforts and have been cooperating in intelligence sharing. The meeting between the Israeli President and the Indian Prime Minister comes at a time when the situation in the Middle East is tense, with ongoing conflicts between Israel and Palestinian groups. India has traditionally maintained good relations with both Israel and Palestine and has supported a peaceful resolution to the conflict. The request to ban Hamas is seen as part of Israel’s efforts to isolate the militant group and weaken its influence in the region. India’s response to the request will be closely watched by both Israel and Palestine, as it could have significant implications for the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.
