Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit Israel on February 25 for a two-day trip aimed at deepening ties with a key trade and defence partner. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has called the visit historic and described Modi as a close friend, signalling stronger cooperation in technology, security and innovation. PM Modi is expected to address Israel’s parliament, with talks likely on defence systems, AI, water management and trade. The visit comes as West Asia remains tense, including concerns linked to Iran. Despite regional risks, both sides are moving ahead, underlining the strategic importance of the partnership.
