Israel has formally requested India to designate Hamas as a terrorist organization, citing its connections with the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and other radical Islamist groups. During a virtual meeting with global Hindu leaders, Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar highlighted the growing security threat posed by Hamas, emphasizing that the group's ties to other extremist organizations create a broader global danger. Sa’ar noted that Israel has engaged in a prolonged battle against radical Islamist groups and has significantly weakened these networks, yet the implications of this conflict extend beyond the Middle East. He expressed appreciation for the strengthening relationship between Israel and India, particularly following India's condemnation of Hamas's violent actions during the October 2023 attacks. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has previously reaffirmed India's commitment to combating terrorism, expressing condolences for the lives lost in the attacks and emphasizing that no cause justifies the murder of civilians. A senior Israeli official indicated that there is an understanding within the Indian government regarding the networks linking these terrorist organizations, suggesting that Hamas and LeT have significant connections.
