The Indian side maintains close and strategic ties with Israel as well as important Arab nations including Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Qatar. Many Arab states had been alarmed by the Indian leadership’s early reaction to the events in Israel.
S. Jaishankar, India’s minister of external things, spoke with Faisal bin Farhan Al-Saud, his Saudi Arabian counterpart, on Friday about the effects of the Hamas assaults on Israel as a result of India’s approach to Arab nations.
The exchange between the foreign ministers of India and Saudi Arabia comes after Jaishankar’s Wednesday call with Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan of the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
