Israel Urges India to Label Hamas as Terror Group
Israel wants India to officially call Hamas a terrorist group.
They say Hamas is working with another group called Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and Iran to cause trouble.
Israel already called LeT a terrorist group last year.
They also want India to stop giving money to a group called UNRWA that helps people in Gaza, because Israel thinks Hamas is using it.
Israel is worried about Iran's growing power in places like Sudan.
They think Iran is giving weapons and support to groups in Sudan, which could be a problem for the whole region.
Israel urges India to designate Hamas as a terrorist organization, citing its ties with Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and Iranian proxies.
Israel designated LeT as a terror group in 2023 and wants India to reciprocate.
Hamas and LeT are expanding operational links, with Iran using global criminal networks for proxy attacks.
Israel advises India to stop funding UNRWA, accusing it of being infiltrated by Hamas.
Iran's influence in Sudan is a growing concern, with Tehran supplying weapons and intelligence to the Sudanese Armed Forces.
