Statement by Daniel Carmon

Former Israeli Ambassador to India Daniel Carmon welcomed the extradition of Tahawwur Rana to India, calling it a great development in the long fight against terrorism and said it was a major achievement for all those who believe that terrorists should be fought till the end. Knowing how horrific the terror attack was for the people of India and Mumbai, I think it's a huge accomplishment.

Israel is always with India.

Speaking on Israel-India cooperation and against terrorism, he said that Israel has always been with India in the fight against terrorism and there is no conversation in which Israel has not discussed that India, like Israel, is a victim of terrorist attacks. The 26/11 of Mumbai was undoubtedly a terrible, terrible tragedy.

We will continue to collaborate

"We signed an agreement several years ago, and I'm sure the two countries will continue to cooperate," former ambassador Daniel Carmon said. The extradition is a huge achievement, a significant diplomatic and judicial victory for India; I can say this without a doubt. I would like to congratulate the Prime Minister and all necessary Foreign Ministers for this.
