Akshay Kumar Reacts To Hamas Attack On Israel, Says ‘Killing Is Not The Answer’

Akshay Kumar voiced his opinion on the escalating conflict between Israel and Hamas, making him one of the first celebrities to do so.

On October 7, Hamas conducted a "surprise attack" against Israel.

New Delhi: Akshay Kumar is never silent about pressing topics of the day or social and political climate. Recently, there has been an ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas. On October 7, Hamas conducted a surprise attack against Israel, launching a volley of rockets into the country's southern and central regions. Thousands of people were hurt, and over 700 of them were killed. Now, Akshay Kumar has shared his thoughts on the war.

In an interview with Times Now, Akshay Kumar shared his views on the ongoing conflict. He is the first celebrity to speak out about his feelings on the continuing war. He said, "Any kind of terrorism is wrong. It is very sad what happens. I hope everything stops and becomes normal; that's all I can pray for."

After being asked why many people aren't yet condemning the warlike atmosphere, the actor responded, "I said that any sort of terrorism is wrong. Killing is not the answer; the answer may be amicably talked about. I condemn any kind of killing of children or women." 

According to reports, Israel has begun a series of air attacks on Gaza in response to the rising death count. As a result, there is a continuous tension between Israel and Palestine. 

The prime minister of India, Narendra Modi, has also reacted to the ongoing situation between Israel and Hamas. The PM took to X and shared a post that said, “Deeply shocked by the news of terrorist attacks in Israel. Our thoughts and prayers are with the innocent victims and their families. We stand in solidarity with Israel at this difficult hour.”
