Netanyahu Condoles Delhi Blast Victims: “Terror Can Shake Cities, But Not Our Souls”
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed condolences to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the families affected by Monday evening’s blast near Delhi’s Red Fort. “To our dear friend Narendra Modi and the brave people of India: Sara and I, and the people of Israel, send our deepest condolences to the families of the victims. Israel stands with you in sorrow and strength,” he said on X.
Netanyahu emphasized the resilience shared by India and Israel, writing, “India and Israel are ancient civilisations that stand on eternal truths. Terror may strike our cities, but it will never shake our souls. The light of our nations will outshine the darkness of our enemies.”
The blast claimed nine lives and injured 20. Reports suggest the attack was planned by Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammed, targeting Delhi landmarks including the Red Fort, India Gate, Constitution Club, and Gauri Shankar Temple, as well as railway stations and malls. Dr. Umar Nabi is believed to be the suicide bomber, with three other doctors — Shaheen Saeed, Muzammil Shakeel Ganale, and Adeel Rather — in custody.
Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar and Ambassador Reuven Azar also extended condolences, praising rescuers and security forces and reaffirming Israel’s support in India’s fight against terror.
The incident has prompted a nationwide security alert.
