00:25Did Benjamin Netanyahu just publicly contradict

00:29U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance?

00:32In a striking interview with Fox News,

00:35Israel's prime minister rejected the idea

00:37that America is Israel's only powerful ally,

00:40and instead named India as one of Israel's closest friends.

00:45The remark is making headlines around the world.

00:48The exchange came after J.D. Vance suggested

00:51that the United States is effectively Israel's only major ally,

00:55urging Israeli leaders not to undermine Washington

00:59during sensitive diplomacy involving Iran.

01:02But Netanyahu wasn't entirely convinced.

01:05While praising U.S. President Donald Trump

01:08as the greatest friend we ever had in the White House,

01:11Netanyahu said Israel also has other important friends.

01:15Then came the line grabbing global attention.

01:18Netanyahu said,

01:19Secondly, we have some other friends, like a small country called India.

01:24You know, it has 1.4 billion people.

01:27And boy, do we have tremendous support there.

01:30He added that his Facebook page is flooded with supportive messages from Indians,

01:34and stressed that Israel has many friends beyond the United States.

01:39The comments were widely interpreted as a direct pushback

01:42against Vance's claim that America is Israel's only major ally.

01:46Netanyahu's praise also reflects the growing strategic partnership between India and Israel.

01:53Over the years, the two countries have expanded cooperation in defense, intelligence,

01:58agriculture, cyber security, water technology, and innovation.

02:03India is also one of Israel's major defense partners,

02:07with extensive military and technology cooperation.

02:10At the same time, India has continued to maintain ties with both Israel and Arab nations,

02:16often taking a balanced diplomatic approach on Middle East issues.

02:21Netanyahu's remarks come amid reported differences between Washington and Jerusalem

02:25over regional policy, including Iran, Gaza, and Lebanon.

02:30Despite those disagreements, Netanyahu emphasized that Israel's alliance with the United States remains strong,

02:36while making it clear that Israel is not diplomatically isolated.

02:41So was this simply praise for India or a carefully crafted message to Washington?

02:46One thing is certain, Netanyahu's decision to single out India has sparked global discussion

02:52and once again highlighted the growing importance of India-Israel relations on the world stage.
