Washington, DC [US], March 12 (HBTV): Following a pivotal meeting between National Security Advisor Ajit Doval and Israeli’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Israel, the American Jewish Community has emphasized the significance of India's support for the West Asian country during the current challenging times.



Jason Isaacson, chief policy and political affairs officer of the American Jewish Community, highlighted the enduring partnership between the two countries spanning more than 30 years, as a crucial alliance for both nations. He underscored the trust and genuine friendship that have developed, benefiting not only the governments but also the people and businesses of both countries. 



Doval called on Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu on Monday and discussed the ongoing war against Hamas in Gaza.  



"The visit by National Security Advisor Ajit Doval to Israel to meet with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his team at a very challenging time for the state of Israel and for security in the region is of great significance," said Isaacson in an interview with ANI. 



‘India is a trusted, true partner of Israel. The relationship that has grown over the past more than 30 years is of enormous importance to both governments, both peoples, to businesses in both countries, and holds the promise of even greater achievements in years to come,’ he added. 



Speaking about the current security climate in Israel, Isaacson acknowledged the terrorism threats faced by the nation. He stressed the importance of India's empathy, considering its own experiences in dealing with terrorism on its borders.  



"But at this very difficult time for Israel as it confronts terrorism, hearing from a true partner that itself has confronted terrorism on its borders, knows the preciousness of every human life and the need to be vigilant in protecting its citizens against the incursion of hostile ideologies and hostile forces," Isaacson said.  



Expressing his solidarity, Isaacson said that understanding the preciousness of every human life and the necessity to safeguard citizens against hostile ideologies is a shared commitment.
