While I'm happy for Alexander's release, we must remember thousands still suffer in similar conflicts worldwide. India should use its diplomatic influence to push for more humanitarian efforts in such crisis zones.

While we celebrate one person's freedom, let's not forget the larger picture. India must remain neutral and focus on our own security challenges, especially at our borders. Peace begins at home.

The involvement of multiple parties (Egypt, Hamas, Red Cross) shows how complex such situations are. India's experience in multilateral diplomacy could be valuable here. Maybe we should offer to mediate?
