Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has written to the Union Minister for External Affairs S. Jaishankar expressing his concern over the plight of Indians in Israel, a good number of them—at least 7,000—being from Kerala.
He said that the continuing hostilities in the region was putting these civilians to extreme hardships, causing their families to be in a state of extreme anxiety.
Mr. Vijayan, in his letter, requested Mr. Jaishankar to intervene in every manner possible so that the safety of the Indian citizens were assured.
