In a candid interview from Jerusalem, Israeli Ambassador Reuven Azar praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Israel visit as a game-changer for bilateral relations. The public’s fervor was palpable, and Modi’s powerful Knesset speech struck a chord, especially his zero-tolerance policy on terrorism.
Azar delved into the future, revealing a surge in cooperation across high-stakes tech domains. Fresh accords provide the machinery for action, with execution now underway. On military tech transfers, the ambassador was unequivocal: it’s the very purpose of these deals, aimed at empowering both nations’ defenses.
He advocated for indigenous development in defense and offense, arguing it ensures long-term resilience. During the two-day tour, Modi became the first Indian PM to speak to the Knesset, honored by Speaker Amir Ohana. Preceding speeches by Netanyahu, Lapid, and Ohana reaffirmed mutual commitment.
This momentum underscores a maturing alliance, where shared innovation in advanced technologies will redefine regional security dynamics. As implementation kicks off, expect tangible advancements in joint capabilities, strengthening both democracies against emerging threats.
