India praises Israel-Hezbollah truce: Always called for de-escalation, restraint

India Today  

India on Wednesday welcomed Israel and Hezbollah reaching a ceasefire agreement brokered by the US and France aimed at ending the nearly 14-month cross-border hostilities that have turned into one of the deadliest conflicts in Lebanon in decades. In a statement, the Ministry of External Affairs said India has "always called for de-escalation, restraint and a return to the path of dialogue and diplomacy". The ceasefire came more than a year after the Iran-backed Hezbollah struck Israel, soon after the Jewish nation was attacked by Hamas, resulting in the ongoing war in Gaza. As part of the agreement which came into effect today, Israel will gradually withdraw its forces over 60 days as Lebanon's army takes control of territory near its border with the Jewish nation.
