The briefings were held at South Block, the office of the MEA, where discussions centred on counter-terrorism cooperation and improving international partnerships. Israeli ambassador Reuven Azar, speaking afterwards to members of the press, termed the incident in Pahalgam a “watershed moment” with Israel standing in support of India.

"We extended our condolences for the terrible attack that happened here. This is a watershed moment. We stand with India; it's a very important moment. And of course, we discussed things of mutual concern that have to do both with fight against terrorism and also how to enhance cooperation. We have a great cooperation, we are great partners. We are looking forward for more cooperation both bilaterally, regionally and globally," Ambassador Azar said.

The US Charge d’Affairs, Jorgan K. Andrews, was also seen exiting the Ministry's office shortly after the conclusion of the meeting. The Spanish Ambassador also participated in the discussions, indicating broad diplomatic support for India's counterterrorism efforts.

Earlier, on Thursday, Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri conducted briefings for ambassadors from several key countries, including Germany, Japan, Poland, the United Kingdom, and Russia. Senior diplomats from nations, including the United States, European Union, Italy, Qatar, Japan, China, Russia, Germany, and France were also seen.

Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri held a dedicated 30-minute meeting with envoys from G20 countries, including representatives from China and Canada. According to sources, the session focused on conveying India’s position and its planned course of action in response to the attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam district.

The Central government announced a series of firm diplomatic measures. These include the closure of the Integrated Check Post (ICP) at Attari and the suspension of the SAARC Visa Exemption Scheme (SVES) for Pakistani nationals. As part of this measure, Pakistani citizens have been given 40 hours to exit India. India has also suspended the Indus Waters Treaty, a historic agreement signed in 1960 that has long withstood multiple periods of tension and conflict.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, addressing the nation, condemned the Pahalgam attack, stating that the terrorists involved in this attack, along with those who supported and conspired with them, will be punished in a manner they cannot imagine. The determination of 140 crore Indians will now shatter the backbone of these terror networks, he added.
