Nine years after his first groundbreaking trip, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has landed in Israel, greeted by PM Benjamin Netanyahu who labeled the occasion ‘historic.’ This reunion underscores the unbreakable friendship driving India-Israel relations to new heights.
Netanyahu took to X to express joy: ‘PM Narendra Modi returns to Israel after nine years on a two-day visit. Sara and I warmly welcomed our dear friend today. Another historic chapter for Israel unfolds.’ Reflecting on past exchanges—Modi’s 2017 visit and Netanyahu’s India journey—he stressed their personal rapport as the bedrock of national ties.
Looking ahead, the schedule brims with significance: Knesset festivities, Jerusalem’s innovation showcase, and an intimate dinner. Tomorrow brings Yad Vashem, followed by team huddles signing pacts on economy, defense, and diplomacy to supercharge bilateral synergy.
Modi echoed the enthusiasm online: ‘Excellent meeting with PM Netanyahu. Grateful for the heartfelt reception. Thrilled to return to Israel after nine years. Covered topics to strengthen bonds—tech, water, farming, talent exchanges with vast opportunities. Touched on regional dynamics too.’
Beyond bilaterals, Modi will engage President Isaac Herzog, speak to lawmakers, and join key programs. In an era of uncertainty, this visit amplifies shared commitments to innovation, security, and prosperity.
The partnership, forged through trials, now eyes futuristic goals like advanced tech and sustainable agriculture, exemplifying how personal diplomacy shapes global alliances.
