Prime Minister Narendra Modi embarks on a two-day state visit to Israel, his second since 2017, amid escalating turmoil in West Asia. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has described Modi as a personal friend and is rolling out the red carpet for the visit. The focus is on deepening defense, trade and technology cooperation. Israel is pitching India as a key pillar in its proposed hexagon of alliances. Defense cooperation is a major priority, with India seeking deeper technology sharing and possible collaboration around Israel’s Iron Dome air defense system. Officials discussed expanding defense agreements to focus on manufacturing in India and sharing Iron Dome technology. Fast-tracking the long-pending India-Israel Free Trade Agreement is also on the agenda, with hopes to complete the first phase in coming weeks. Prime Minister Modi will address the Israeli parliament, the Knesset, during his 30-hour visit. Congress MP Jairam Ramesh has criticized the visit, raising concerns over Gaza and the West Bank, accusing the government of shifting from India’s traditional Palestine position.
