New Delhi, November 21 (ANI): Bolstering ties with India, Israel on November 21 declared Lashkar-e-Taiba as a terror organisation. The move has been made to mark the 15th year of commemoration of the Mumbai terror attacks. Notably, Israel did so independently without any formal request from the Indian government. The state of Israel has formally completed all necessary procedures and has satisfied all required checks and regulations. “While Israel only lists terror organizations who are actively operating against it from within or around its borders, or in a similar manner to India - those globally recognized by UNSC or the US state department; the Israeli ministries of Defense and Foreign affairs, have jointly worked in the last few months towards an expediated and extraordinary listing of the Lashkar -e- Taiba organization on this date, to highlight the importance of a Unified Global Front in combating terrorism,” Israel Embassy in India wrote to the Indian Government. In an interview with ANI, Israeli President Isaac Herzog recalled 26/11 Mumbai attacks and drew parallels with Oct 07 Hamas attacks. President Herzog extended his gratitude to India for their shared interests and efforts to combat terrorism. Israel Embassy also recalled LeT’s “heinous” act of carrying out 26/11 attacks and termed it a “deadly” terror organization. The deadly Mumbai attacks were carried out by 10 gunmen who were connected to LeT, a Pakistan-based terrorist organization. Israel’s move comes weeks after its Ambassador to India urged New Delhi to designate Hamas as a terror organisation. Prime Minister Narendra Modi was among first world leaders to condemn terror attack by Hamas on Israel on October 7.
