在周四的电话通话中，印度总理纳伦德拉·莫迪和以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡就双边关系以及中东局势进行了讨论。
In a Thursday phone call, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Israeli counterpart Benjamin Netanyahu discussed bilateral ties and the situation in the Middle East.
莫迪办公室发表的声明称，两位领导人对印以关系的持续发展表示欢迎，并重申了进一步加强两国特殊战略伙伴关系的共同承诺。
“The two leaders welcomed the sustained momentum in India-Israel relations and reaffirmed their shared commitment to further strengthening the Special Strategic Partnership between the two countries,” said a statement by Modi’s office.
新德里方面表示，双方还就中东地区的最新发展交换了意见，并强调恢复该地区和平与稳定的紧迫性。莫迪重申了印度主张通过对话和外交手段解决问题的立场。两位领导人同意保持联系。
New Delhi said the leaders also “exchanged views on recent developments” in the Middle East and “underscored the urgent need to restore peace and stability in the region. “Modi reiterated India’s "call for dialogue and diplomacy as the way forward," the statement said. “The two leaders agreed to remain in touch,” it said.
此次通话发生在中东紧张局势升级以及沙特阿拉伯与也门胡塞武装之间的敌对行动期间，沙特领导的联军正在对胡塞武装目标发动空袭，而胡塞武装则向沙特王国发射导弹和无人机。
The calls between the two leaders come amid escalating tensions in the Middle East and hostilities between Saudi Arabia and Yemen’s Houthis, with the Saudi-led coalition carrying out airstrikes against Houthi positions and the group launching missile and drone attacks targeting the kingdom.
这一地区紧张局势的加剧与美国和伊朗之间的军事对抗同时发生，旨在达成协议的外交努力仍处于僵局中。
The regional escalation has coincided with continued tensions between the US and Iran following their military confrontation, with diplomatic efforts aimed at reaching an agreement remaining deadlocked.
