Iranian president, Indian PM call for end to Israeli attacks in Gaza

Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi called for putting an immediate end to the deadly Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip.

They made the appeal in a phone conversation when discussing the latest developments in the enclave. Raisi also called for stopping the killing of civilians in Gaza, saying it had enraged the world's "free peoples" and could have trans-regional consequences.

The president vowed support for the collective effort to achieve an immediate cease-fire in Gaza. For his part, Modi expressed concern over the unfavorable situation in Gaza, condemning "Israel's killing of civilians in the enclave," calling for diplomatic efforts to find a solution to the conflict and prevent its expansion to the rest of the region.
