Indian Prime Minister Modi arrived in Israel, beginning a visit aimed at strengthening bilateral relations, as he entered the Israeli parliament to deliver a speech greeted by Prime Minister Netanyahu and his wife. The report also noted that this visit took place against the backdrop of repeated failures in the Gaza ceasefire arrangements and ongoing criticism of Israel's military operations. Al Jazeera cited analysts who said that Modi's trip focuses on advancing trade and logistics cooperation and purchasing Israeli weapons, especially air defense systems. He mentioned that the brief conflict between India and Pakistan in May last year exposed problems in the air defense sector, prompting New Delhi to pay more attention to related equipment. Modi's speech in the parliament will be seen as an open support for the Netanyahu government. Despite opposition voices in both countries, the relationship is driven more by practical interests and also serves India's balance strategy in the Gulf region and towards Iran.
