The ongoing war between Israel and Hamas found reference after Saturday’s ODI World Cup 2023 India-Pakistan cricket match with the Israeli ambassador to India Naor Gilon expressing happiness at the Pakistani team’s defeat. Mr. Gilon’s rare social media message came even as India intensified evacuation of citizens from Israel with two flights scheduled over the weekend under Operation Ajay.
“We are happy that India emerged victorious in the #IndiavsPAK match at #CWC23 and that Pakistan was unable to attribute its victory to the terrorists of Hamas. We are really moved by Indian friends showing their solidarity with Israel by displaying posters during the match,” said Mr. Gilon in a message on X (formerly Twitter).
