“Firstly, I would like to send our condolences on behalf of the state of Israel to the families and to the victims. I was shocked by the photos…Fighting against terrorism is not an easy task. Terrorism probably will not be stopped. But we have to fight money laundering. We have to fight against their sources, their transportation of goods and shipments of ammunition,” the Israeli envoy said.
“That’s a cooperation between all the states because terrorists would like to bring fear to the life, the normal life of the citizen in India, in the Middle East, Europe…That is their system…We will not give any chance to terrorism to win. And we will come here…We believe in the Indian authority and the Indian government to do the utmost to fight against terrorism,” he added.
