Netanyahu and Modi to meet soon, enhancing India-Israel ties.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi have agreed to meet “very soon” following a recent phone conversation, solidifying their commitment to strengthening the strategic partnership between India and Israel. During their discussion, they reviewed regional dynamics, especially the situation in West Asia, with Modi reaffirming India’s support for the Gaza Peace Plan and both leaders condemning terrorism in all forms. This engagement comes on the heels of several high-level ministerial visits and the signing of a Bilateral Investment Treaty and Terms of Reference leading to a Free Trade Agreement (FTA), demonstrating the momentum in their bilateral relations. Despite earlier concerns regarding security, Netanyahu’s office expressed confidence in India’s security capabilities, underscoring the robust defense, technology, and intelligence cooperation that characterize the Indo-Israeli alliance, which has grown significantly since Netanyahu’s previous visit in January 2018.
