Following a cordial phone call, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi have decided to meet “very soon,” according to the Israeli Prime Minister’s Office.
In the face of changing regional circumstances, this development indicates that their close diplomatic contact will continue.
PM Modi and Netanyahu discussed the West Asian situation during their conversation on Wednesday. The Indian prime minister reiterated his nation’s support for the early implementation of the Gaza Peace Plan. This is in line with India’s long-standing support for a fair and lasting peace in the area.
The two leaders discussed the wider West Asian issue, with Modi highlighting India’s support for initiatives meant to find a long-term solution. Both parties expressed contentment with the India-Israel Strategic Partnership’s continued momentum and emphasized their shared commitment to deepening these connections for the good of both countries.
Together, Prime Ministers Modi and Netanyahu denounced terrorism and reaffirmed their zero-tolerance stance against it in all of its guises. The strong counterterrorism collaboration that is a fundamental component of their bilateral relationship is reflected in their common security approach.
The discussion took place in the context of India and Israel’s robust and diverse partnership, which includes collaboration in intelligence, technology, agriculture, and defense. These exchanges highlight the two nations’ deep strategic relationship.
Due to security concerns, Netanyahu’s planned visit to India by the end of 2025 was postponed. Since then, his office has reaffirmed Netanyahu’s complete faith in India’s security under PM Modi’s leadership by assuring that teams from both nations are working to arrange a new visit date.
The strength of the relationship between the two countries was emphasized by the Israeli Prime Minister’s Office, which also highlighted the close relationship between the two leaders. In order to advance strategic cooperation across multiple industries, this link is essential.
In January 2018, Netanyahu made his second trip to India as an Israeli prime minister. Since then, he has frequently emphasized the intimacy of Indo-Israeli relations, characterizing Israel and India as ancient civilizations based on timeless principles.
In the wake of a recent explosion at the Red Fort, Netanyahu offered sympathy to the Indian people and sent his deepest sympathies to the families of the victims. He said that terrorism could hit cities but would never shatter the spirit of their peoples, acknowledging the two countries’ mutual endurance.
Netanyahu declared in a public speech that Israel and India’s light would triumph over the darkness of their shared enemies. In the face of global difficulties, this message reaffirms the strength of cooperation and common ideals amongst the nations.
An already strong alliance will likely be strengthened by the two presidents’ decision to meet soon, which will probably serve as a spur for increased collaboration, particularly in areas crucial to their strategic interests.
