India Israel relations

Contracts worth about NIS 11.2 million come as Israel continues to deal with hostile attack drones from Iran during Operation Roaring Lion.

As PM Modi arrives in Israel, Jerusalem must elevate the relationship to a top-tier priority. Moving beyond defense to a full-scale economic and tech alliance is now a geopolitical necessity.

From his 2017 visit to Israel to a broader strategic shift in New Delhi, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has transformed relations, reshaping diplomacy, security, and regional cooperation.

Modi’s visit is an act of cultivation. If Modi’s 2017 visit was a breakthrough in the relationship, his 2026 return signifies the consolidation of those ties.
