Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s aircraft touched down at Ben Gurion Airport, where Benjamin Netanyahu and Sara awaited with genuine enthusiasm. The welcome unfolded like a scene from a diplomatic friendship saga, complete with hugs, compliments, and an impromptu chuckle over fashion synchronicity.
Netanyahu wasted no time praising Modi’s leadership and appearance before drawing attention to the saffron harmony between Sara’s suit and Modi’s pocket accessory. The shared laughter echoed, transforming formal protocol into a feel-good exchange.
On his second official Israel visit since 2017, Modi’s schedule is ambitious: addressing the Knesset as the pioneering Indian PM, meeting the diaspora, and exploring tech innovations that bind the two nations.
Social media amplified the buzz, with Netanyahu’s X post featuring the welcome clip. The Jerusalem Post’s front-page tribute, adorned with ‘Namaste’ in Hindi and ‘Shalom’ in Hebrew, captured the multicultural greeting.
This trip arrives at a pivotal time, reinforcing India-Israel bonds in defense, water tech, and startups. Expect announcements that could reshape regional dynamics, with Modi’s vision of peace and progress at the forefront.
