External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar has said India will have no credibility if it does not consider terrorism as serious when it impacts other countries. His statement comes amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas war and India's abstention from a UN resolution on truce in Israel as it did not condemn Hamas for the terror attacks.
