India-Israel Relations: A Strong Strategic Partnership

On India’s 78th Independence Day in 2024, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called PM Narendra Modi to extend his wishes and discuss the West Asia situation.

Modi emphasized the need for de-escalation, humanitarian assistance, and the release of hostages.

Looking Ahead

As tensions in West Asia continue, India and Israel remain key partners, with growing cooperation in defense, technology, and trade.
The latest meeting in Munich underscores both nations’ commitment to deepening ties and addressing regional challenges together.
