Israel Seeks Stronger Actions Against Terrorism

Shoshani, while reacting to External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar’s statement at the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Council of Foreign Ministers Meeting in Tianjin, said that condemnation of terrorism is in the interest of the whole world.

“I think it’s extremely important now, as India and Israel suffered from terrorism for too many years. If all big countries do not denounce terrorist activities, terrorism is going to continue. I think this is in the interest not of India and Israel, but it is the interest of the entire world,” he said.
