“We are not putting pressure…” Israeli Envoy asks India to designate Hamas as terror organization

Terming India a crucial "moral voice" across the world, Israeli Ambassador to India, Naor Gilon has urged New Delhi to designate Hamas as a terror organisation in India as well. He stated that both India and Israel have a "shared war" against terror and counter-terrorism is one of the areas where the countries align. Speaking in a video message, Gilon said, "Prime Minister Modi Ji was among the first leaders in the world to come out with a clear statement...this was before we had understood the full magnitude of what had happened...I think that set a very strong tone of clear condemnation of terrorism. It's important to us because India is a very close ally"." India is also a very important moral voice in the world and when it comes to terror, India is also coming from the point of view of someone who knows what they're talking about being victims for so many years of terrorism," he added. Gilon cited several countries that have designated Hamas as a terror group
