India and Israel have been steadily increasing diplomatic and military ties for decades, a trend that accelerated under Modi’s premiership.
In 2017, Modi became the first Indian leader to visit Israel.
“A strong and resilient relationship with Israel will be my intent and focus,” Modi said at the welcome ceremony. “Your heroes are an inspiration for the younger generations.”
