New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to visit Israel on 27-28 February, marking his first trip to the country in his third term and nearly nine years after his historic 2017 visit.
Israeli Ambassador to India Reuven Azar confirmed that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has formally extended an invitation to Modi, with preparations underway to facilitate the visit.
The trip, which comes amid significant geopolitical developments in West Asia, reflects the deepening convergence between India and Israel and is aimed at strengthening strategic ties across multiple sectors, including defense, technology, agriculture, cybersecurity, and counter-terrorism.
Both nations reaffirmed a zero-tolerance stance against terrorism during recent telephone conversations between the two leaders.
