Modi’s visit, his second to Israel in nine years, aims to deepen cooperation in defence, trade, technology and strategic sectors. ADVERTISEMENTIn his departure statement, Modi said India and Israel share a robust and multifaceted strategic partnership that has witnessed remarkable growth and dynamism. During the visit, Modi will meet Israeli President Isaac Herzog. Congress general secretary in-charge communications Jairam Ramesh said Prime Minister Modi is “brazenly embracing” his Israeli counterpart. “When the entire world is critical of his 'dear friend' Mr. Netanyahu, Mr. Modi will be displaying moral cowardice,” he alleged.
