During his recent two-day visit to Israel, Prime Minister Narendra Modi reiterated India's firm support for Israel, emphasizing the 'vital' partnership between the two nations. In a landmark address to the Knesset on February 25, 2026, Modi condemned the October 7, 2023, Hamas-led attack, describing it as a 'barbaric terrorist attack' and expressing condolences for the lives lost. He stated, 'We feel your pain, we share your grief. India stands with Israel firmly with full conviction in this moment and beyond.' Modi's visit was marked by a warm reception from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who referred to Modi as 'my brother' and highlighted the strategic significance of the India-Israel relationship, particularly in light of ongoing tensions in the region. The Knesset was illuminated in the colors of the Indian tricolor as a gesture of goodwill, and Modi's address was met with enthusiastic applause from the Israeli parliament members.
