Baba said that “Lebanon and Palestine will never be able to conquer Israel as Israel is very powerful in terms of technology and military security”. Baba also praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi saying his post on X in support of Israel boosted their morale. “After the attack by Hamas terrorists on Israel, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has supported Israel by posting on X.

This has boosted our morale even more,” he said.

I got a lot from Israel but now Israel is in crisis, so how can I come back. I am trying to help the people as much as I can with the money I have saved,” he said.

“We stand with Israel. The local government supports us a lot. We have been here during happy times, we will stay here today when the situation is bad,” added Anil.
