00:00As Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi prepares for another visit to Israel,
00:04attention is now focused on how ties between the two countries have transformed over the past
00:09decade. Modi's first trip to Israel in July 2017 marked a historic moment, the first visit by an
00:18Indian Prime Minister, symbolizing a new era in relations once handled quietly. Since then,
00:24cooperation in defense, technology, and trade has expanded significantly, with Modi and Israeli
00:31Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu publicly describing each other as close partners.
00:36Indian officials describe the shift as a pragmatic strategy, balancing stronger ties with Israel
00:43while maintaining relations with Arab states. However, analysts argue the deepening partnership
00:49has strained India's long-standing support for Palestine and raised broader questions about
00:55its diplomatic positioning in the region.
