He stressed that a divided world cannot effectively address the challenges facing humanity. His remarks were made against the backdrop of the Israel-Palestine conflict, with India expressing solidarity with Israel following a recent attack by Hamas.

"Wherever terrorism occurs, regardless of the reason or form, it is an affront to humanity. In such circumstances, we must remain unwavering in our stance against terrorism," the Prime Minister stated. He addressed an audience comprising parliamentary speakers and leaders from around the world.

"The world today is grappling with crises arising from conflicts and confrontations, and no one benefits from this. A divided world cannot provide solutions to the challenges facing humanity," PM Modi emphasized.

This statement reinforces India's commitment to fighting terrorism and promoting global unity to address pressing issues.
