NEW DELHI, October 14, 2025 — Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday praised U.S. President Donald Trump for his “unwavering peace efforts” in helping broker a ceasefire agreement in Gaza, following the release of 47 Israeli hostages.
In a statement on X, PM Modi said, ” We welcome the release of all hostages after over two years of captivity. Their freedom stands as a tribute to the courage of their families, the unwavering peace efforts of President Trump and the strong resolve of Prime Minister Netanyahu. We support President Trump’s sincere efforts to bring peace to the region.”
The release of the hostages, held for over two years, was cited as a result of sustained diplomatic engagement. Officials noted that the reconciliation effort comes amid continued talks between Israel and Hamas and that Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi is expected to participate in an upcoming summit focused on the peace process.
