- JAYANTH JACOB @New Delhi

INDIA on Tuesday welcomed US President Donald Trump's 20-point Gaza peace plan, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi terming the proposal a "viable pathway" to lasting peace, security, and development for both Palestinians and Israelis.

The ambitious roadmap, unveiled by Trump during his meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House on Monday, aims to bring an immediate halt to nearly two years of devastating conflict in Gaza. The plan mandates a 72-hour window for Hamas to release all hostages, both living and deceased, in exchange for a ceasefire and partial Israeli troop withdrawal.

"We welcome President Donald J Trump's announcement of a comprehensive plan to end the Gaza conflict," Modi said.
