The Israeli embassy in India, via spokesperson Guy Nir, addressed reports concerning the denial of shelter to Indian nationals during the ongoing regional conflict. Nir asserted that metro stations are designated safe spaces in Israel, stating that photographs showed "people of all ethnicities" present within them.
Simultaneously, the Indian embassy in Tel Aviv issued an advisory for its nationals in Israel, urging them to exercise utmost caution and remain vigilant. The advisory also recommended avoiding non-essential travel within Israel and monitoring local news for updates. These advisories followed joint strikes on Iran by the Benjamin Netanyahu-led government and the United States, and subsequent retaliatory strikes by Iran targeting US and Israeli-related facilities in various Middle Eastern nations, including the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, and Jordan.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi conveyed India's "grave concern" regarding the escalating Middle East conflict. In response to the situation, repatriation flights have commenced from several Middle Eastern locations, such as Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Fujairah, and Amman, to assist Indian residents and those stranded in returning home.
