Israel's FM urges India to enter talks with Pakistan

Israel's foreign minister has told India it should begin talks with Pakistan to ease the crisis which has the neighbours on the brink of war.

Meeting in New Delhi with India's External Affairs Minister Jaswant Singh, Shimon Peres said while fighting terrorism, India should also raise one hand for peace.

India blames Pakistan for harbouring militants it says are responsible for last month's suicide attack on India's parliament, which left 14 people dead.

The nuclear-armed rivals have massed tens of thousands of troops on high alert along their 1,800-kilometer border.
