India Today
In an interview with India Today TV, Hussain Hassan Mirza, the first UAE Ambassador to India, spoke about how India, which has good relations with both Israel and Iran, can help de-escalate the conflict in the Middle East.
Hussain Hassan Mirza, the first UAE Ambassador to India, said that a single phone call from Prime Minister Narendra Modi to both Israel and Iran could help stop the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.
Speaking to India Today TV, Mirza highlighted India’s diplomatic standing and PM Modi’s relations with both countries, and said that the combination of the two factors could help bring down tensions.
“India is a great country. The profile of India... the mere fact that one telephone call from Mr Modi to both Israel and Iran to stop, it will stop. One phone call,” Mirza said.
He pointed out that PM Modi recently visited Israel and also maintains good relations with Iran.
“Mr Modi was in Israel 10 days ago. Mr Modi has a very, very good relationship with Iran. He’s the biggest buyer of Iran’s oil. Very simple... One phone call from Mr Modi will solve the problem,” he said.
Hussain Hassan Mirza also said he expects India to intervene diplomatically because of the large Indian community in the UAE that has contributed to the country’s development for decades.
