The Prime Minister will invite his Israeli counterpart Benjamin Netanyahu to visit India in December - a request the Israeli Prime Minister is expected to accept. Modi will also pointedly not visit Palestinian territories during his visit, breaking with a norm followed by most other Indian dignitaries and world leaders who visit Israel, to further emphasise the "stand-alone" nature of ties with Israel. "So, no, the Prime Minister is not visiting Palestine." The Prime Minister is also likely to meet Moshe, a child who was a baby during the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks, when his parents were killed. Modi has personally made clear since he came to office that he views relations with Israel as a priority.
