Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu remarked on the significant upcoming visit of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Israel during a Cabinet meeting on Monday. He characterized the relationship between the two nations as “an axis of nations committed to stability and progress,” highlighting their collaborative efforts in areas such as innovation, security, and shared strategic objectives. In a message posted on the platform X, Netanyahu expressed enthusiasm for Modi’s visit, stating, “The bond between Israel and India is a powerful alliance between two global leaders. Together, we are building an axis of nations committed to stability and progress.”

Expansion of Collaborative Partnership

Netanyahu elaborated on the growth of the partnership between Israel and India, noting the increasing collaboration in fields ranging from artificial intelligence to regional cooperation. He also acknowledged the significance of Modi’s visit, which he believes will further solidify the special relationship that has been cultivated over recent years between his administration and India. Earlier on Sunday, Netanyahu had praised India’s ascendancy on the global stage, reiterating that the upcoming visit would highlight these close ties.

Vision for Regional Alliances

On the diplomatic front, Netanyahu shared a vision of creating a regional network of alliances, describing it as a “hexagon” comprising India, Arab and African nations, and Mediterranean countries such as Greece and Cyprus. The framework is aimed at fostering deeper international cooperation and will be presented in greater detail in the future, according to the Israeli Prime Minister.

Significance of Modi’s Visit

This trip marks Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s second visit to Israel, following his historic trip in 2017, which made him the first Indian Prime Minister to officially visit the country. The timing of this visit is particularly notable, coinciding with developments related to the Board of Peace meeting held on February 19. This initiative emerged from former US President Donald Trump’s 20-point Gaza ceasefire plan, which received support from the United Nations Security Council.

Broader Initiatives in Focus

The scope of the initiative underpins the commitment of approximately 35 countries to participate, with around 60 nations invited to partake in discussions. Trump has indicated that this entity could eventually assume certain responsibilities currently handled by the United Nations. Modi’s engagement in Israel is anticipated to contribute significantly to ongoing conversations surrounding peace and cooperation in the region.
