The planned visit of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to India, initially set for December, has been postponed, but Jerusalem is assuring the world that the strong bond between the two nations remains intact. The Prime Minister’s Office in Israel has explicitly denied any security issues, stating their “full confidence in India’s security under PM Modi.” They confirmed that efforts are underway to finalize a new date for the visit, underscoring the strength of the relationship between Netanyahu and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. This commitment to strong ties was evident in an October phone call where PM Modi congratulated Netanyahu on the progress of the Gaza Peace Plan, facilitated by the US. Modi lauded Netanyahu’s leadership and expressed optimism that the release of hostages and increased humanitarian assistance would foster peace in the region. The Indian Prime Minister had also previously spoken with former US President Donald Trump, congratulating him on the success of the Gaza peace plan.
