Their freedom stands as a tribute to the courage of their families, the unwavering peace efforts of President Trump and the strong resolve of Prime Minister Netanyahu,” Modi said ina social media post that tagged Trump and Netanyahu.

“We support President Trump's sincere efforts to bring peace to the region,” he said.
