In an interview with PTI, he also said the investigations will look into all possible angles, including whether there are any links to the 2012 attack on Israeli diplomats here while events around the world are also being examined to find any related operations or activities at any destination.
“These attacks by those seeking destablisation in the (West Asia) region cannot stop us or scare us. Our peace efforts will continue uninterrupted,” he said when asked whether the attack was aimed at derailing Israel’s peace efforts with various Arab countries.
Asked whether Israeli agencies will join the probe, Malka said a kind of cooperation and collaboration is taking place, but the probe is mostly being done by Indian authorities as it happened on Indian soil.
“But of course, whatever assistance we can provide, whatever we can share, we will do that,” he said.
On the envelope recovered from the site hinting at a possible Iranian link, Malka said, “You need to understand that the investigation is still in early stages, so it is not appropriate to talk about anything that might harm the investigation.”
He said it won’t be fair for him to talk about any specific detail regarding the investigation or other inputs relating to the probe.
“But what I can tell you is that we are collecting all the information and putting all pieces of evidence together and building the puzzle. Eventually, I think we will understand it all and the picture will be clear and we will get to know who is behind this evil attack,” the Israeli envoy said.
On whether the embassy has provided its own CCTV footage to the probe team, Malka said, “We are collecting any evidence, any piece of information that can be useful. Whether there are eyewitnesses, CCTV as you mentioned, whatever we can gather, any piece of information, we are collecting everything that can shed more light on what happened. We are making all the efforts.”
A low-intensity improvised explosive device (IED) went off near the Israeli embassy in the heart of Delhi on Friday evening but no one was injured.
Some cars were damaged in the blast that occurred about 150 metres away from the embassy in Dr APJ Abdul Kalam Road in the very high-security Lutyens’ bungalow zone.
Police team finds most CCTVs ‘non-functional’
Meanwhile, investigators probing the minor blast have not come across “anything concrete” yet as most of the CCTV cameras near the site of the explosion were “non-functional” at the time of incident, official police sources said on Saturday.
An investigation team of Delhi Police’s Special Cell had earlier in the day visited the site near the embassy to collect more evidence as part of its ongoing probe, sources said, adding that it managed to get access to footage from some of the CCTV cameras in the area.
“We have recovered some CCTV footage but have not obtained anything concrete yet as most of the CCTV cameras in the area near the embassy are non-functional,” an official source said.
Earlier, footage retrieved from CCTV cameras showed a vehicle moving suspiciously near the embassy just before the explosion, sources said.
