‘If US Can Hand Over Rana, Why Can't Pakistan Give Us Hafiz, Azhar?': Indian Envoy To Israel
Last Updated: In an interview with Israel's i24 News, India's Ambassador JP Singh warned that Operation Sindoor is only 'paused' and normalcy hinges on Pakistan handing over wanted terrorists In a strong and unambiguous message to Islamabad, India's Ambassador to Israel, JP Singh, said that the Indus Waters Treaty (IWT) — long upheld as a symbol of bilateral goodwill — could no longer survive when one side chooses violence over peace. 'Goodwill, friendship and blood can't flow together," Singh told Israel's i24 News, confirming that the treaty has been put in abeyance following Pakistan's continued sponsorship of cross-border terrorism. 'Over the years, we allowed water to flow; Pakistan allowed terror to flow," Singh said, referring to decades of attacks by groups like Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed. The final trigger, he said, was the April 22 Pahalgam attack, where 26 people were killed based on their religion. 'This cannot go on like this. Our Prime Minister made it clear — blood and water cannot flow together." Singh said the treaty's foundational principle of friendship and goodwill had been 'repeatedly violated" by Pakistan's actions. He asserted that the pause in the treaty will continue until Islamabad ends its terror infrastructure and hands over key perpetrators. 'When the US can extradite Tahawwur Rana, why can't Pakistan hand over Hafiz Saeed, Masood Azhar, Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi, and Sajid Mir? Everything will be normal if Pakistan hands over these terrorists to India." Singh gave a detailed account of Operation Sindoor, describing it as a calibrated military response that unfolded in two phases. On May 7, Indian forces launched precision strikes on terror camps and launchpads in Muzaffarabad, the LeT headquarters in Muridke, and JeM headquarters in Bahawalpur, killing over 100 terrorists. When Pakistan retaliated by targeting Indian military installations, India hit back with strikes on army bases, radar systems, and airfields, including Nur Khan and Sargodha. 'Their DGMO called ours — and that's how the ceasefire was initiated on the evening of May 10," he said. But Singh cautioned that this was not the end. 'The ceasefire is holding for now. But Operation Sindoor is paused, not over. A new normal has been set — we will follow an offensive doctrine. Wherever terrorists are, we will strike. Their infrastructure will be destroyed." He also took aim at Pakistan's duplicity. 'They keep saying they want investigations and international probes. But what about Mumbai, Pathankot, Pulwama? We gave them dossiers. The US gave them evidence. Yet Sajid Mir, Hafiz Saeed, Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi are roaming free. You simply cannot believe them." Turning to India-Israel cooperation, Singh called it 'strategic and rapidly expanding". He noted that while India relies on its indigenous defence platforms under the Make in India initiative, Israeli systems were also crucial during Operation Sindoor. 'The difference is: we use these platforms to target terrorists. Pakistan uses its resources to protect them." He outlined the potential for deeper ties in infrastructure, agriculture, water management, science and technology, and workforce mobility. He cited India's $1.5 billion investment in Haifa port, interest in Tel Aviv metro projects, and the signing of migration and mobility agreements to send skilled Indian workers across sectors like caregiving, hospitality and agriculture. 'Even during conflict, there was no security issue for Indian workers in Israel," he said. Looking ahead, Singh called for a broad global alliance against terrorism, uniting countries like India and Israel. 'Those who suffer must come together — not just against terror groups, but their supporters and shelters. The world must act with zero tolerance."

'We do not interfere in others' affairs, nor do we provoke anyone—but if provoked, we respond decisively,' Chouhan said, referring to Operation Sindoor. New Delhi : 'Together with peace-loving nations and our trusted friend Israel, we are committed to eradicating terrorism from the world. The time has come for a final, decisive war against terror, and every country must come together to fight it, said senior BJP leader Shivraj Singh Chouhan at the Israel Independence Day celebration held at the Israeli Embassy Thursday. On the enduring nature of India-Israel relations, Chouhan said, 'Our friendship with Israel has stood the test of time. It is rooted in mutual trust and will remain unbreakable. Our shared democratic values and vision for progress bind us closely.' He stressed the need for a united global front to eliminate terrorism and called on global unity to fight it collectively. Chouhan expressed gratitude to Israel and other nations that support India's efforts in counter-terrorism. 'Terrorism knows no religion or creed. India has always taken a firm stand against it and will continue to do so.' He also condemned the attacks in Israel on 7 October, describing them as acts of terrorism. 'What happened in Israel was a clear act of terror. Prime Minister Narendra Modi stood firmly with Israel and expressed India's support in unequivocal terms.' Israel had earlier expressed support for India's 'right to self-defense' following Operation Sindoor Wednesday. 'Israel supports India's right for self-defense. Terrorists must understand there's nowhere to hide from their horrific crimes against innocent people,' Reuven Azar, Israel's Ambassador to India, wrote on X.
