Excitement is palpable in Israel ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s upcoming two-day visit, with President Isaac Herzog leading the enthusiastic reception. Herzog’s X post captured the sentiment perfectly: ‘Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Israel and its people are eager to welcome you.’
Responding to Modi’s own pre-departure post, where he voiced anticipation for engaging with Netanyahu on enhancing collaborations, Herzog’s words set a positive tone. This is Modi’s second trip since 2017, a landmark journey that opened doors in key areas like defense tech and farming innovations.
In his statement before leaving, Modi noted the invitation from his ‘friend’ Netanyahu and praised the partnership’s rapid expansion. Conversations will delve into science and tech, agriculture, water resources, defense, trade, investments, and cultural exchanges, alongside regional security challenges.
Modi will hold talks with Herzog and deliver a pivotal speech to the Knesset on Wednesday evening, as he shared on X. This address symbolizes the enduring democratic camaraderie between India and Israel. As both nations navigate geopolitical shifts, this visit reinforces their alliance, promising fresh initiatives for mutual prosperity and stability.
