Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu invited PM Narendra Modi for a forthcoming meeting following their Wednesday phone discussion, which reinforced India-Israel strategic bonds and anti-terror resolve.
Modi shared on X: ‘Conveyed New Year greetings to PM Benjamin Netanyahu and Israel. Explored avenues to further solidify our strategic partnership ahead.’ The leaders also delved into regional scenarios, recommitting to a robust fight against terrorism.
Netanyahu termed the interaction fruitful, focusing on national security upliftment. He celebrated the enduring India-Israel friendship’s potential for citizen-centric gains and looked forward to in-person talks.

Meetings with President Herzog reviewed partnership momentum and India’s peace stance.
Echoing a December 10 call on West Asia, the duo upheld zero tolerance for terrorism and partnership enhancement. PMO statements affirmed Modi’s support for sustainable peace and prompt Gaza plan rollout.
