Welcome to India, Israeli Prime Minister Mr. Benjamin Netanyahu.
Welcome to India, Israeli Prime Minister Mr. Benjamin Netanyahu.
Indo- Israel relations are at its best under the Modi Government.
Indian government is all set to reciprocate the red carpet welcome extended to Narendra Modi when he visited Israel last year.
Other than economics, the Palestine issue is likely to be discussed between Modi and Netanyahu. India has been trying hard to balance its current relationship with Israel with its historical support to the Palestinian cause. This delicate balancing by New Delhi is very necessary and is in India’s best interest. Any significant change from India’s current stance seems improbable right now.
The good thing is that Israel seems to understand India’s position, which is a sign of maturity. This could lead to a healthy and strong relationship between these two major powers in the international system.
What Israel means to India would be clearer when Modi and Netanyahu jointly address the inaugural session of the 3rd Annual Raisina Dialogue (which is India’s premiere foreign policy conference) on January 16. This will be the first time a foreign head of government will speak at the Raisina Dialogue.
This visit of Prime Minister Netanyahu could prove to be a significant landmark in India-Israel relations.
